@Christian TerronesI recommend checking out some local meetups. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521The best way to find mentors in your area is to attend meetups.

Attend real estate club meetings.

My issue isn't managing from DC since I'm a flight attendant and have a flexible schedule.

I've been sitting on the sidelines with Crowdstreet watching their projects and sometimes attending webinars.

Attend those virtual meetups that are available (DM me for more details on this).3.   

I'm interested in getting into REO listings, and I attended a webinar that is selling this course: https://www.reovip.com/I'm wondering if anyone here has taken this course and if so, is it worth buying?

When I wake up at 5am I can still attend meetings in the morning CA time.- Hawaii property tax and insurance is considerably "okay"- Each Florida city has its own different trajectory in terms of appreciation, but HI appreciation depends on island and the town.- With most job now is being done remotely, especially in tech, Hawaii is becoming a viable choice.- However, the thing that makes Hawaii very doable is that the cost of flying is cheap, from CA one way the cost is $90-$200 depending on the season. - Every Hawaiian Island is very different from one to another, and between towns is also a bit different.

"Chattanooga" "BRRRR stragtegy" "TN flipping", etc- Attend local meetups to begin growing your network - you can find them here or on sites like eventbrite or meetup.- Set up systems to regularly keep in touch with (and add value to) the folks you connect with whether they're local contacts or virtual contacts from BP.Happy to see you here... looking fwd to seeing how the BiggerPockets platform contributes to your journey.All the best,Abel

You can do a few ways: Follow these brokers on Facebook and find out if they're holding seminars or classes on REO purchasing and attend these classes - get to know them.

For those that are also on their REI journey, but didn't have a chance to attend the conference, what is your niche in this market/location?
