If you start small with a core group of people you get along with and have rapport with, and then ask those folks to recommend others (other investors, contractors, attorneys, etc.) then I think that’s a great way to grow into the market.The RI real estate investor group has explicit networking events maybe twice a year - they just had a networking dinner last month and there’s usually one in late August - so those are obviously good occasions to make new connections, but really after any meeting is a good time to start meeting folks.

And how do you compel the court to believe that one person is the others caregiver when the person isn't trained, has never met the other person before moving in, isn't being paid by the other person, in fact the only link between the two of them is that they are both paying you rent.
