I collect tobacco cards so I am familiar (my first few rentals were partially paid for VIA my sports card wholesaling business). 

If you're not walking away, you're not in the business.

Wanted to connect with others doing business in the area to keep up-to-date on the market, as I'm from out-of-state.

You rarely get phone calls from your tenants and they are business owners vs. folks with kids, pets, showers and toilets.

New investors look for guidance only to find constant ads for courses, coaching, and get-rich-quick strategies.Look at those where you want to be and before you ask them to be your mentor study them, learn from them, and read books about business owners. 

@Jake Salisbury  The Chase INK business cards are good, there a few different ones. 

First, build the actual business in theory with a brand.Second, go to every real estate investor meetup in the area and see if this is something that people would pay for and if so, how much.

I would start by networking with other investors and asking them for recommendations.Research online for agents that are busy.
