@Leslie L Meneus, while the forums can be pretty good, in-person networking and sharing ideas is much more valuable.  

Wife and I are coming down from Toronto, Canada and we are looking to network with current investors, PM, RE Agents, etc...I tried finding meet ups in the forum section "Events & Meetups Section" but had no success.Would love to know of any meetups in Ohio in Jan, Feb or March 2025!
