I'm looking to start with the best knowledge and knowledgeable people.  

I would recommend joining ULI (Urban Land Institute) They have a network of people that can provide exactly what you are looking for Remington is it just ULI dot com ?

Look for local Investor meetings, there you will people that has lot information and opinions on these matters. 

You can't actually pay it off directly because they've been securitized, and the people who invested in those securities did so because of the specific certainty of the payment schedule.What you do in a defeasance is use the proceeds of the sale or the funds from your new lender to purchase treasury bonds that are packaged to make the exact payment amounts and timings on the remaining term of the loan, and then assign those bonds to your old lender.

So I'm good at finding people.

Just would like to start building relationships with people In the Phoenix area as well. 

You might want to find local rei meetups to meet people in your market that are doing deals. 

Meeting some people tonight there to create a scope of work and do some additional discovery.

Also I Would like to meet people around the pittsburgh area about real estate, currently most of my properties are located in florida, (have 3 here)..Westmorland County.

I started this company because I want to be a source for people and be that stepping stone for people who want a better life.
