Normally I suggest listening to the podcasts or reading the blog posts but it sounds like you've already go that covered :)As far as networking, Bigger Pockets has a great member search feature you could use to search for members in Rhode Island, then you could reach out to some directly.You could also attend a networking group in or near Rhode Island such as RIREIG or Black Diamond REI.

Army and a Black Hawk helicopter pilot.I'll be moving to Fort Hood this month and am looking forward to the prospect of establishing a real estate portfolio during my time there.

I am Waylon Black from Pontotoc MS. 36 years old and just getting started in the real estate investing learning.

Also you may wish to check out local investor groups such as Black Diamond REI in southern Mass and RIREIG in Rhode Island.Since you just bought your first property, I would recommend taking at least 6 months, 12 would be better, learning how to be a landlord of your first rental unit before acquiring another one.Learn about renting a unit out, tenant screening, collecting rent, repairs, capital improvements, handling moveouts, etc.

It's also my job to keep clients from crossing clear black & white lines.

Of course they choose to paint the bedroom, and ceiling, black.

As a matter of policy, you advise clients to stay well in the black and away from the grey. 

But when it’s black & white, I should advise the client to follow the law.

I'm still in the black by a good margin but I don't want to maintain the property all winter and there's no sure thing of selling in spring.On the other hand, my Greenlake rental flew.  

That's why I choose to try and keep things as black and white as possible with actions that I can directly tie to a statute.
