Any good Inland Empire IE meet ups or REIA you can recommend?

Any areas where 250k is enough to start an empire, lol just kidding im just trying to get enough rental income coming in every month to where i don't necessarily need to have a 9-5.  

If you own 47 properties one day, have $170,000 in property taxes each year, insurance bills, maintenance bills, bills coming from every vendor that it takes to run your empire, your being pulled in every direction financially.....can you make good financial decisions in that situation?

I know my area well, but it just doesn't make sense to someone like me who is starting out, so I intend to start building my empire in the south, NC, SC, TN, FL, etc. 

FS Houses and Empire Industries are two that have solid reviews.

We used Empire Title in Colorado Springs and recommend them to everyone we can.

@Ryan Robert Hey Ryan, check out the Inland Empire Real Estate Investment Club and look for Andy Teasely.

I will recommend Empire Title in Colorado Springs and Farm Credit of Southern Colorado in Limon for land loans.
