Matt - I think there might be a small group on Meetup that meets up north . . . but you might also check out MAREI - to connect live and face to face, we have people from the northland who attend  . . .. real estate agents, attorneys, accountants and mortgage people . . . plus other investors, contractors, hard money lenders, private money lenders and more.
