How to meet other owners?

[Tim Smith]

I would like to meet other rental owners in the town where I do business. I think it would be beneficial if owners were able to get to know each other and share notes. One area in particular is property management. I thought it would be great if I knew the other owners using my same property management company so that we could share notes and bargain collectively. I cannot tell you how many times I hear my PM tell me that the other owners are fine with it... The other owners are doing it... etc... I'm sure I would run into this with many PM's. Since I am also employed, I cannot take on the PM work myself.

Does anyone have any experience like this? A site similar to this one seems like it would work if there were a geographic breakdown - like craigslist. Then we could get to know each other and have meet-ups or something.

Thanks.
