@Marie Ruiz We host a meetup in Scottsdale and I am in Phoenix every other week. 

-Prefer office environment, or work-at-home cloud based?

You should connect with @Mel Selvidge she hosts a meet up in Oakland.  

Likewise, title is immaterial at this point because the contract requires the seller to provide clear and marketable title upon payoff and you can't stop liens or clouds from appearing at any point before you refinance even if you have the deed.

I will also be hosting another more informal meetup like I did early this month in Beverly Hills.

I host one myself every month, which I call St Louis Real Estate Investors Meetup.

I discovered the immense potential of investing in real estate when through an internship with a small company that owned and operated section 8 housing apartment complexes across the country.Fast forward 2 years, and I have since graduated and moved to Kansas City, MO, the home to several things, including great food, the Chiefs, and a host of new investment opportunities.

The local meetups are great, there is actually one coming up this Tuesday hosted by a BP member: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/186...Would be great to see you there!

He hosted a Edu-train not too long ago, where participants could pick his brain FOR FREE!

He's financed incorporation, general business/state licensing, website hosting, and logo creation - though I've done all the work on actually setting these up.
