There are a couple of local meetups/events I know about but I'm still learning.

I attended her event in San Antonio.

The contract I could find says the following:```...together with the right of ingress and egress at all times for the purpose of mining, drilling and exploring said land for oil, gas and other minerals, and removing the same therefrom.And said above described land being now under an oil and gas lease originally executed in favor of [Oil Company], Chicago and now held by [Oil Company] it is understood and agreed that this sale is made subject to said lease, but covers and includes of all the oil royalty and gas rental or royalty due and to be paid under the terms of said lease.It is agreed and understood that of the money rentals which may be paid to extend the term within which a well may be begun under the term of said lease is to be paid to the said [purchaser], and in the event that the said above described lease for any reason becomes cancelled or forfeited, then and in that event, the lease interest and all future rental on said land, for oil, gas and mineral privileges shall be owned jointly by [owner] and wife and [purchaser] each owning & interest in all oil, gas and other mineral in and upon said land, together with interest in all future rente.This sale is made for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars, cash in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged.To have and to hold the above described property, together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances thereto in anywise belonging unto the said [owner] heirs and assigns forever, and we do hereby bind ourselves, heirs, executors and administrator to warrant and forever defend all and singular the said property unto the said [purchaser] heir and assignee against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof

You need to target recent or currently in bankruptcy, has liens on the prop,  just had a medical event, or is late on some payment 30-60=90 days late. 

And the whole event had a very casual feel.

Find a local REI, meetups and networking events.

In an event of emergency that in order to make your guests happy you might have to take care of things out of your pocket but make sure the landlord is agreed to reimburse you as long as the cost you incurred fall within a reasonable market rate. 3.

For meetups, you want to check the events forum here and places like Meetup dot com.

I've been to some local events when I used to live there (2020-2023) but I tend to like networking 1 on 1 more than at events. 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.
