-Call them weekly or bi-weekly to check in (if they do not answer I leave a message and follow up with an email)-I always get back to them on any deals they send me even if I plan on not making an offer, feedback is critical and if you want them to get back to you on deals then you need to get back to them on the deals they send you-I meet with brokers face to face in my markets every other week (I do not live in the market I invest in), whether it is touring a property or just having a quick coffee or stopping by their offices to say hi-Host social gatherings and invite brokers to meet with local investors and buy them drinks.  

I currently host a couple of meetups each month, but plan on doing that on a more regular basis and start partnering with other local meetup hosts to use our facilities, so that I can constantly have real estate investors in front of our team.I can tell you that I've been living the dream for the past year and a half. 

and a host of others.

To date I've joined several Facebook groups and jumped into the monthly events several local Investors host, but was wondering if anyone else had anything to add to this?

If its a group we want to host - we just tell them "Unfortunately, for insurance purposes, we're required to collect an underage rental fee of $250 for groups under the age of 26 - we're willing to eat half of that though if you can pay the $125."

My friend @Luke Neubauer and I host a real estate investor meetup the last Wednesday of every month at the Manhattan Project restaurant. 

This coverage protects you and your property from a whole host of problems including a tenant's pet biting a guest and more. 

My team hosts one every month, but you'll be able to see a full list of events if you go to BiggerPockets.com > Network (in the top ribbon) > Events. 

I have considered hosting a meet up in my community to bring us all under one roof and see how things go and what comes from it.

There are a bunch of great people here on BP from in and around Charlotte, who also host RE meetups were you can network with many more people like yourself.
