This is a good question.I found that meetups are kind of like you described not much really happens there and for sure REIAs and their monthly meeting kind of the same people talking about the same thing then bring in ( at least what i have seen with the PDX reia) folks that are presenting on things that worked decades ago.. and want to sell their stuff for a few grand.For me personally the best networking hands down was SF Bay Area events  San Jose Reiaand LA  FIBI events.folks in those markets are very real estate centric and generally more experienced and in San Jose so many tech folks that have done really really well.. maybe not in RE but have done great in TECH and have quite a bit of bandwidth for investments..

My experience has been less than stellar and my real estate agent is also not a big fan.

I'm in the Atlanta market, and with hard money loan fees and agent fees (5.5%), I've found it extremely challenging to find a profitable flip.

., and any semi-experienced investor could tell you oh hell no.

Or have a real estate agent on staff to do them?

We will issue a lease without an agent or broker.

We are both real estate agents and I’m also an attorney here in California.

Then the agent and seller are liable for any damages you have. 

I'm an investor/agent/property manager in that area and would be very interested in hearing more about the property. 

I am a RE agent in Stephenville, Tx. and it is poised for big growth.
