The current partner is Thread Bank which apparently is in Eastern TN and was recapitilized? 

In Central and Eastern Maine, there is only one I know of with a 30-day contract: Ascend Property Management. 4.

Listening to podcasts and attending local meetups/conferences is a great way to meet others and learn more about RE.

I've traveled, spoke, and hosted conferences with thousands of attendees all around the world. 

If you're looking to list REO properties, then there are several sources, REORenegades is a great source, and REOMAC conferences and dinners (to network), along with the National REO Brokers Association www.nrba.com.

When you are willing to cover your mouth with a handkerchief and step over land mines to see if the layout works for a LTR you know you're a real estate investor 😁 lolI've seen it all and smelt it all.Just haven't found a dead person yet in a property heheFunny thing is, having travelled a lotSome cultures consider animalistic smells attractive.Even aphrodisiacs.Personally, I love me some niche perfumes and have always bought the heavy Middle Eastern Oud scents.Repulsive when first applied but give it a few minutes and it blends into the skin making it sweet, sour and woody lolMaybe cat piss after some time smelling it would also blend in with our olfactory senses like it does with the other cultures hehehehe 🙈   

Building a solid network by going to meetups, conferences, building connections with like minded investors, lenders, property managers, investor-friendly RE agents, is a great place to start. 

I was just at a conference in Nashville and one of the speakers was 24 years old, he was able to raise $2mil in 24 hours for a $10mil syndication deal, anything is possible. 

He is trying to set up a conference with Judge Waldrip in Comal County and would like to have that hearing on line so that investors can hear the information they have collected.   

You will definitely learn a lot here - reading books and listening to podcasts, attending local meetups and conferences are all great ways to learn, gain advice, share thoughts and network!
