Two lessons here:Share your progress and goals with those you trust.Be open and available to opportunities as they come.Although this is not a mind blowing concept or opportunity, it is the first time I've been approached with it.

I want to start building relationships with people that could help me out as I progress. 

@Frank Lockett - I'll keep you posted as things progress!

I was a bit worried about this as I'd be paying interest on the refi but my realtor assured me the probate was already in progress in the courts so should be done soon and if it went longer than a few months he would cover the interest payments for me.

Smith looking forward reading more about the progress of this project!

I love hearing these stories, Congratulations on your progress.

I am talking to hard money lenders but setting up an LLC with my immigration status is a work in progress (any tips on Creative Financing what don't need an LLC to lend are welcome).

If you're generally looking to network and continue to drive education, here are some suggestions that have worked for me:-Join a mastermind group - this doesn't need to be a local group (mine isn't), but helps massively with accountability and moving progress forward - Michael Blank has one as to many of the coaching programs out there-Join at least one local meetup group focus on multi-family (MF masters, etc)-As others suggested, attend one or more of the larger national meetup events like MFIN, Sumrok, Rod K's bookcamp, etc

Please share your progress.

My website is still a work in progress, but feel free to use it as a reference.
