I subscribed to audible.com and for about $15 mo I am able to power thru the books.

For what it's worth, subscribe to this newsletter about all things downtown Los Angeles.

There is a real estate agent specific forum you might want to subscribe to here.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/21-real-estate...

Senior Citizen tax benefits hint that the owner might be dead so I also check the Social Security Death Index (Ancestry.com, subscriber service).CAMA.

Make sure to stay in touch with me, follow me on BP and/or subscribe to the meetup forums here locally (there is a sub forum now for Los Angeles.)

I have been on one webinar and subscribed to the podcasts. 

Other things one can do is subscribe to the local paper and business journal, bookmark the chamber website, call Real Estate agents and Property Managers not affiliated with the sell, talk to other out of state investors for their feedback, just to name a few.
