The people listed below have been all over BP and can provide great information

There are no upfront costs so why not establish a relationship with someone who actively represents real estate investors and move forward with vetting your ideas.Best.

How many people are in your “sphere of influence” that will use you to buy or sell without needing to pay for marketing? 

Those were really good (Southeastern Wisconsin Real Estate Investor Group on FB if so inclined).  

What im hoping to gain from this group is knowledge i cant find anywhere else, i hope to meet people that i can help and people that can help me, I hope i can form good friendships on here, and i hope to find my first rental.

People pay a lot of money for advertising, so here is your chance to gain valuable "real estate" for free (or for the cost of a sign).

Trump is talking of selling off government buildings and getting the federal government or GSA mostly out of the real estate business. 

People always say there's no value but that's not for you to determine.

What I see after years of being in real estate investor forums, is a lot of misguided people, IMO.

@Jose Ferreiras welcome to the forums this is a very powerful place and I anticipate you finding many great people to connect with here.
