@Nolan Dortch Welcome to BP!  If you haven't found the podcasts yet they are EXTREMELY informative and very motivating/inspiring.  It's under the education section at the top of BiggerPockets.

Montgomery has a REIA that meets every third Monday of each month. The leader is Jeremiah Brewder and they start at 6:00 usually. I'll send you his email so you can ask him to put you on his email list and he sends out reminders a few days before each meeting.

In Auburn, AL we just started a small group and will be meeting again on Wed., June 1st if you are interested.  Connect with me if you want more info to the Auburn meeting.  We will make a thread with more info soon so we can have as many local investors there as possible.  

 There is a link to start you own BP blog in the top right corner https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs

Also, thanks for the encouraging article and the fantastic tips above on finding deals off the MLS. I am glad you found BP because you are already contributing immensely.

@Ashley Waid Welcome to BP!  it is an amazing resource.

The podcasts are AWESOME and the site also has  in-depth guides for new investors and their are so many beneficial blog posts as well too numerous to mention.  I will also link the Real Estate Agent's Guide for working with investors since you are pursuing your license.

I'm fine with 6:30 if it works for @Helen Kirk and any others I might have missed...

I will be there.

Let's do this!  I'm down for us all getting dinner and/or at a library first to discuss long term goals.

What weekday (or weekend) should we all try and meet up?  Any good suggestions on where?

I can do it any weekday 4:00 or later.

I also called the Lewis Cooper Jr Memorial Library (in Opelika) and they have a meeting room that is available for $20 which can reserve the room for us to meet.  They close at 7:30 on Mon./ Tue. and close at 6:00 on all the other weekdays.  It is just a thought and is not as good as the Chamber of Commerce idea since the library costs more if we meet once every month.

Welcome to BP @Landon Kemp

Here is a link to the thread for the meetup in Columbus, GA (about 45 - 60 minutes from Auburn depending on your location) that @Helen Kirk mentioned.

I believe they meet on the first Tuesday at the Keller Williams on Veterans Pkwy at 6:30 but all that info. needs to be confirmed via the thread above. Feel free to connect with me if you ever want to talk REI. Best of luck.
