My real job is medical device sales and it's frustrating to hear negative comments on sales people. 

You plug it into a wall in the house and then purchase a few ring devices and connect the devices.

I have a full time job as a medical device sales consultant, but want to start investing into real estate on the side.

Hi Christopher, Capital City REIA is free to attend,Also Traction Reia in Tyson has a small fee to get in.

I work as a Manufacturing Engineer for a medical device company in Minneapolis, MN. 

We rent out the stables, and I had the nursery rented but the tenants fell behind on payments and were evicted. recently the area has been gaining a lot of traction with the demand for truck parking and very little space left for it. 

Same with finding a renter, if he is getting no traction, keep lowering the rent until he gets some interest. 

Things to take with you: Camera, note-taking device, business cards if you have them, generic letters that say you'll buy their house.

@Richard D. but it's those very connections that make it crucial to your success versus other people and I will take your process as a model to consider while I find my groove to thisI believe once my financing is ready my traction in investing will move dramatically forward.

If after a few weeks I don't gain any traction then its time to re-focus and try another market.
