@Richard WhitfieldYou must own your home outrightYou must be at least 62 years of age You must live in the home as your primary residence.You must remain current on property taxes, homeowners insurance and other mandatory legal obligations, such as homeowners association dues.You must participate in a consumer information session led by a HUD-approved counselor.You must maintain your property and keep it in good condition.Your home must be a single-family home, a multi-unit property with up to four units, a manufactured home built after June 1976, a condominium or a townhouse.

I dont have direct contacts for you in the area of finding deals but I would hit up the networking events like TREA, BiggerPockets Meetup, Dealmakers sessions and so forth to meet some players and try to find a deal that way.  

I recommend that you pay for a consulting session and have someone analyze this with you.

But does illustrate what Gideon Tucker said, "No ones person, property, or liberty are safe while congress is in session."

Every legislative session, many proposals are being brought forward such as disallowing the use or credit scores and criminal checks(as this is clearly a form of discrimination), creating a state uniform application process, rent control, etc.

It'll be a mix of on demand videos, live Q&A sessions, and a step-by-step curriculum to help you get your next deal.

And there's a deal making session every Friday morning for members only.

There are several meetups that take place in the area--BiggerPockets has a monthly meetup hosted by @Ryan Casady, there are a couple REIAs (NC REIA and TREIA), Deal Maker Sessions (go to MeetUp.com Triangle Deal Maker Sessions).....and there are a few others that you can find either on BP Events or MeetUp.com.

We would meet at least once or twice a month for a minimum session of one hour per meeting.

wanted advice on the seminar and what are the best sessions
