Would love to connect and grow my network, so feel free to reach out!

Just depends on your experience level and the network you have.

I just started investing in syndications last year for the first time because I wanted to give up operational control and I had fully vetted the operators based on my network and own interviews.

This is where you can learn and network with other people who have the same goals as you do - and many are willing to share their experiences with others. 

But again, I say if you can tap into the traveling nurse network that's the $-machine.

If I don't do this task, the property would no longer be operational" -- so something education or networking wouldn't be material participation hours. 

I'm also from Detroit and currently looking for my first rental property and you're right, the forums are a great tool but I would also consider attending some local real estate events/seminars and networking with realtors!

Google "Be the Bank broadcast" with Justin Bogard.  

You are defiantly in the right place for the sake of networking.

I've temporarily moved to a referral network only, and am very happy to answer questions and connect investors with real estate agents, property managers, and other service providers in NW Florida.
