welcome. go to as much networking events as you can and mingle. there are great posts on this forum which you can learn on many different topics. the podcasts are great. if i can help in anyway, reach out

I am a part of TNREIA and REIN, but I'm curious to hear if there are any other groups or events I can attend to make connections.

I'm also hopeful to get some local cooperation now that he's claiming partnerships with local government. 

@NA Bruny-fils Absolutely, feel free to DM me your email so I can send you the details and you will get notified of future events.

Details matter: keep a log (something like an excel spreadsheet) that documents the date, duration, and events that occurred/work you did. 2.

There is some but you FB or local event would produce more.

Of course this all depends on if you are buying locally, right?

If the money is not held according to local landlord tenant law and/or was was spent (either intentionally or unintentionally), that act would be treated as an exclusion no different than under any other insurance policy.

During our tenure, someone tried unsuccessfully once to drill out the locks on our vending machine and coin changer, but nothing too eventful aside from that.

Start with networking, go to all events you can and follow up with who you meet.
