Glad to have you on here.Advice for this site...1) Set up keywords for your area and interests so that you're notified when they're used and then start interacting.2) Read through  The Ultimate Beginner's Guide3) Go through applicable blogs and podcasts as there are a lot of great resourcesAdvice for REI...1) Study up on what you need to know/do for the 1st step and then do it, then repeat for all following steps until you have completed your first investment then repeat the process and keep learning.

I'm looking to interact, meet, and learn from others with similar interests.

The main thing that I've done is telling the cleaner when to go in and clean.Most of my interaction is done with saved messages through AirBnB, and it is all very automated.

These types of interactions with brokers like yourself who are not actually investing in notes but wish to tell the note investor how the loan should be treated are exercises in futility.  

The form is interactive.

You don't need lic to invest although getting will give access to MLS and would allow you to purchase property right through the MLS and interact with other agents but you'd have to pay dues to the boards such as REALTOR DUES and other things monthly or yearly ... another thing too is when you get lic and do deals you will get the the 3 percent commission that the agent rep u would normally make

Understanding I am very new to REI, I am looking to simply use 2017 as a time to educate myself, interact with the community.

My name is LaMonica Evans, Im so excited to finally be jumping into the forums and interacting with others!

See how they interact with people who are not in house.
