For Triangle area flips specifically there's the Deal Makers monthly events - https://www.meetup.com/Triangle-Real-Estate-Deal-Maker-Sessions/.

Please Take Action NOW - Rent Control bill scheduled for a committee hearing on WednesdayHouse Bill 255 (Guzzardi) is the first of four pieces of legislation introduced thus far this legislative session that would repeal the Rent Control Preemption Act (a 1997 Illinois REALTORS® initiative which prohibits local governments from enacting Rent Control) is scheduled for a hearing in the House Judiciary - Civil Law Committee on Wednesday.

Based on the amount of feedback I have received, it would make sense to do sessions or round tables with groups that have similar interest on specific topics they want to learn more about. 

If this does not quite work, use one of your 45-minute sessions on social media, and then unplug for a while.

The briefing will be followed by PSC work sessions, with a vote on their recommendations to City Council anticipated in March.

The general agenda is typically:Hour 1: Beginners SessionHour 2: Educational Session Hour 3: NetworkingThe first two hours are educational, and that's the value I was looking for when first joining the group. 

The quality meetups in Columbus are Columbus Deal Makers Sessions, Central Ohio Investors Network (COIN), Columbus Multifamily Investors Meetup, Dublin Flip Houses Meetup (has a different name I cannot recall), Newbie Investors Meetup (which Harvey Yergin, Josh Hively and myself started -- come this Sunday for our 2nd session), COREE (costs money with membership, couple hundred people, education based but still good connections to make).BiggerPockets, Meetup.com, Facebook and Google are the best places to find meetups and the info for those meetups. 

@Geoffrey Washington Hey Geoffrey I am new to well and always open to a strategizing session.

Article VII, Section 25(B)(2) of the Louisiana Constitution provides “In the [C]ity of New Orleans, when such property sold is residential or commercial property which is abandoned property as defined by R.S. 33:4720.12(1) or blighted property as defined by Act 155 of the 1984 Regular Session, it shall be redeemable for eighteen months after the date of recordation of the tax sale by payment in accordance with Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph.”  

In addition to this, I will be using the GI bill so tuition will be covered along with getting a moderate 2400 in allowance for housing when school is in session.
