Account Closed, I am active in the cuse as well as a bunch of others here on the forum.

Tom, welcome to BiggerPockets and congratulations on your first forum post!

But happy to hear from the other side.For example, maybe someone who does developments could chime in, but my guess is the numbers on building new affordable housing just aren't compelling, and if policy/markets shift so that it is attractive, you're going to have a lot more BP forum discussions with everyone asking how to get involved (which would be a positive for low income families because supply will go up and rents eventually come down)

I’m new to the forum.

I would be careful throwing out terms like "lazy landlord" to people who are logged in to a forum like Bigger Pockets looking for advice and knowledge. 

You already know how to call for a welfare check and you wouldn't come on a real estate forum asking about just that. 

Also, As I have said before in these forums, it really comes down to your risk tolerance and what you are trying to accomplish with your REI.  

I recently posted a similar forum post and from that and getting referrals from local investors, I would suggest:-Leases: Michael Greenblatt (Greenblatt & Lieberman).  

The lunch usually has 10-15 people, and I think the happy hour averages a few more.Here is the link to today's meetup: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/540299-february-okc-lunch-meet-up?

I recommend introducing yourself on the new member forum.
