Will you be able to attend live training that is offered?  

I look online and attend meetups.

I attended a introduction webinar the other day and am interested to hear from those who have signed up for the program.http://40kflips.com/Thanks!

It also provides plenty of tools for learning.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining facebook groups?

In the meantime I read every book I could find on commercial real estate; attended every commercial real estate meeting in the Houston area, and spoke to numerous commercial brokers.

With that in mind, a sports-centered college town potentially presents a good opportunity as the school will often have visitors attending games who need places to stay. 

I've been attending local meetups, in particular one that discussed the historic appreciation of San Francisco and what's happening in the current market down to specific neighborhoods.  

There are a lot of real estate meetups/groups that you can find happening in NYC and surrounding areas with a quick google search - I actually host a small one every month as well you're welcome to attend to network with folks. 

I would attend local meetups and start to meet other investors.

If you have a local real estate investment association or club (REIA) join and attend.
