Go to local REIA meetings or check on Network tab at the top of the screen and click on Events and see what's going on near you so you can exchange ideas and ask questions of local investors. REIA meetings are usually $20 or so (at least where I live) and the other meetups are typically free. You can also check on meetup.com to see if there's anything there as well.

Save your money and skip the course. BP has the same, if not better, advice and it's free. Best of luck.
