I am looking forward to meeting new people and learning about REI.

I try to have my renters meet each other or at least have a phone conversation to make sure they're compatible, but even then, you just never know if they will be.

@Bob AveryLike Wale stated I would go to MNREIA meetings to further your education and expand your team. 

Looking to join LIRIEA early next year but any NY investor meet ups you know of and recommend especially out on Long Island keep me posted.
