They can be scouting and shooting you some deals that might not be much of a deal at all.

how about property scouts?

Wall-to-wall people.For you (Brie, and other experienced RE investors), you'll have to scout for nuggets and networking opportunities (or other non-real estate opportunities) since you'll likely know all the basic RE techniques - and enjoy the energy of Tony Robbins if you like his style (get food before he comes on - since he's on for 3 1/2 hours!).  

That was a huge deal, with national reporters scouting around to figure out the city’s secret to perennial happiness and success.

I am entering the Due diligence period and wanting to scout a contractor that is willing to renovate the 4 unit residence.

@Calvin Watson & @Angela DeBorja It's great that you are scouting different REIAs and meetups where you can meet more investors.

Brighton, Medford, Watertown, and Jamaica Plain are areas I've been drawn to in my short time here, but I plan to continue my on-the-ground scouting of different areas over the coming months.

I would recommend scouting through and picking agents in the areas you are looking to invest in.

@Andrew Merritt I'm currently scouting the MLS through trulia, zillow, etc.

I was scouting online for financing (mostly hard money) for acquiring rental units.
