I have subscribed to a few wholesalers but I would really like to get access to vacant properties near to where I live. 

I have subscribed.

In the 506(b) offering an investor/subscriber needs to self identify as accredited or non-accredited.

Because of this I often forget to check the Events page for meetups near me when our organizer makes the event.Is there some mechanism on the site that would allow the organizer to create a group (like Facebook) or channel (like Slack) for the event series, allowing me to join the group or subscribe to the channel and receive notifications when a new event is posted?

Be sure to subscribe to the Tulsa real estate forum to network with other investors and keep up with Tulsa-specific topics:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/737-tulsa-rea...As for beginning advice, I echo @Michael Slockers' advice above -- get out there, look at properties and make offers!

We are in the process of relocating back to the USA, and I've no idea if I want to subscribe to BiggerPockets or not.

A lot of us here subscribe to the mindset of "How can I" instead of "I can't because...".

If you subscribed to the software, then you're getting emails from me on a regular basis.
