@Robert Wentland,I would also start attending local REI meetings if you aren't already. 

Just like you I have been thinking into mentorship programs and I have gone to Multifamily Mindset ($40K), Apartment Educators ($20K) which is based in Texas, and now I am looking into RE Mentor (mentor of co-founder of Multifamily Mindset) and it's a 3 day seminar for $1500 (but they end up giving you a *one time discount* if you sign up during the free 2 hour event for $995 but it is possible to sign up for their mentorship program through their website if you can't go to their free event).

Investor buys in a market that has fundamentals that suggest the neighborhood will experience a more significant appreciation event but investor  sells prematurely. 3. 

Checkout Meetup.com for local events and right here on Biggerpockets! 

Also if you want to connect there are a couple events coming up at my mortgage company.

We were recently on vacation in NJ and kicked the tires on attending a sheriff's sale just to see the experience. 

In any event in my area the most common municipal utilities are garbage and sewer which are flat fees and I include those in the rents which is the norm in my market. 5.

We would love to attend group meetups too so we can get educated.

I then attended a couple of hearings when I had the time from my day job.BTW: Attending a hearing meant I had to sit there for seeral hours, listening to several other cases, before my case was heard.

Hey @Anne Christensen - Having been on both sides of real estate meetups (attending and hosting), I can tell you they're absolutely worth your time if you pick the right ones.
