I picked her exactly because she had a good social and online footprint!!

Tax shelter schemes, partnerships with foreign partners and accounts, partnerships with hundreds of members, returns with blatant mistakes, entities in questionable businesses, like gambling, drugs, online video sales, escort services.

I can become a millionaire just by looking at street and sat view and bid online in my underwear. 

They put alot of the meetings online as well with information that comes from them.

you can find all the info online"...it's like, no sh*t you can...all the information ever is online!

Not sure if that is still legal or even translates in today's world of everything online but seemed like a good screening tool to me at the time. 

Documenting your journey online or engaging on LinkedIn can also help expand your network.

Start small, be patient, and stay connected with local meetups and online investor communities for support. 

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Definitely join your local chapter of REIA (real estate investors association) or join one of the ones that are fully online (Columbus and Cincinnati).
