Attend on of the best REIA's in the country right here in Orlando  Your first meeting is free to attend.

You should have some good lease paperwork for this ADVANCED strategy.HOWEVER, I WOULD NOT discuss details until you meet them in person. 

Hello All,I've been looking into purchasing property in the Columbus area and just wanted to meet up with people who have experience in house fixing and flipping and/or rental properties.

I'm trying to network as much as possible with like minded investors in the area, so let me know if you ever have any questions and/or would like to meet up to see if we can help each other out!

Its an awesome place to meet people and learn.

I have No problem with this fee as an agent, as long as it is disclosed up front to the buyer/seller, before any offers are made, preferably in a first meeting.  

We would like to meet other like minded people, share contacts and get the scoop of whats going on in our neighborhood.

I understand what you are saying @Wayne Brooks, I may need a letter of intent... which is better... but I'll just have to go meet them and give them my answer to purchase in a day of two while my applications are pending...I have no choice... 

I then told him that I have been looking for an investment property to buy, I can close fast (as fast as my hard money lender can move I guess) and I asked if we can meet at the house in the morning to see if we can come up with a win-win situation that would allow me to purchase the home and RENT IT BACK TO HIM.  

- Are your goals clear, how often do you meet to discuss progress?
