There is TREIA, @Adam Schneider runs a deal maker session and we have a casual monthly meet up for BP members.

I'm 17 and looking to make real estate one of my sources of income.

You as match maker are responsible for picking the right sponsors to develop a long term relationship with but also vetting their deals.  

Many times registered agent is just an attorneys office and decision maker may never get a good look at your mailing. 

With a few million in VC money they can make really nice "websites" and market the hell out of them. 

That way when you film your member introduction video on your phone, you can use the Vimeo app to upload it to Vimeo.  

There are also group meetings each month on lots of topics (new investors, deal makers, rei strategies, rehabbing, wholesaling, land lording, passive income and more).

One thing always holds true, Agents don’t interview their perspective clients to see if they’re a good fit, YOU (the buyer) are always the decision maker!

I picked the building up right ($32,500 at auction) a couple of years ago and took it from a money pit and made it into a money maker (net income $2,300 a month with room to add another $400 +).The city bought the neighboring building for $165,000 and put $79,000 into demolishing it unfortunately the demolition created a lot of potential liability that would be my responsibility.

And by his Deal Maker's course if you can as well.
