What I'm looking to do since I am a bit shy to finding an organic mentor is to kinda do what was suggested in Rich Dad Poor Dad when Rich dad said for Robert to play golf because eventually Robert would end up doing it some day and the best time to begin building his skills was when he was young. 

The organizer of the Meetup who is successful uses and recommended Dean.

Appreciation, forced and organic, has created the bulk of my wealth and I don't invest in a cf market either.

The best way of locating/networking with individuals interested in partnering/investing would be to go to meetup.com and look for real estate investment meetings and also to leverage facebook groups for the same, as well as your local REIA organizations. 

Have been looking in SC.We are still doing the meetups, grown quite a bit 25+ people every month. 

Not only that but my network is expanding quite a bit and I need an organization to catch up. 

Why has it grown so rapidly to over 750 agents?

In 2010 the population had grown all the way up to 2,077,240.

However, as I have acquired more units and grown, I want to make sure I am not turning away too many people and leaving a unit vacant for too long because my rental standards are too strict.I would like to see how many of you accept co-signers/guarantors and in what situations?

My wife would prefer to stick to a SFH as our primary residence, but if I can accumulate some additional capital along the way, I'd like to get into SFH or duplex rentals to start.I'm also looking for some good local networking opportunities, mentorship, and/or a local organization to join for those just starting out.
