Dilapidated properties, train tracks, school zones, busy roads, air strips, gun clubs, flood zones, etc.My goal is always to make sure that my buyer goes into an offer with their eyes wide open and as much negative information as possible. 

Specifically, I am seeking to meet cash buyers, realtors, and other wholesalers to network with.

This is a great place to network.

I would love to begin networking with people active/familiar with the area.

@Michael Roesch use the biggerpockets event finder, or meetup.com to find a local REIA and network there

The most important thing is networking, Bigger Pockets is great and there are a bunch of groups on Facebook I could recommend but, you need a local accountability and an REI meeting would be the best place to find good people and find someone to help find the information you need and someone(s) to be accountable to.

If you're looking for solid real estate information and great networking, then you've hit the jackpot!

We've established a network of private investors who are starting to invest in our company.

Expose it to your network, see if anyone else has a solution. 

Networking is an easy-to-access bonus, both inside and outside of Real Estate with a lot of folks that truly just want to help each other grow.From a local level, we are conveniently positioned between the arguably two most important spots (per the Iowa natives): Ames and Iowa City.
