Anyone know of REI clubs or mentors in northern MN

Very very nice neighborhood here in Duluth, MN and looks like it could use a lot of work. I looked at the property tax information online and found that the ownership is under a trust that is out of town. All taxes are paid up. Also looks like that trust owns some raw land in town also. What should my next steps be?

I read about bird dogs and thought they were people that went out and found deals for investors for some type of compensation. I haven't even started REI and already have two delivery carriers out looking for prospects for me.
