Hi Mike, we run Brew City REI, a private club of over 1500 other local active investors sharing knowledge, contractors, deals, and money sources.

Have active do you want to be? 

You need to find some local real estate investor meetings and ask the cash buyer investors that are active in your area.

Normal business hours are usually a safe bet, so if you present the tenant with a written (I would also send an email if possible, never rely on one form of communication) date and time block that you will be entering to show the property there is little they can do to dispute your actions.Always remember that they can always take to civil court and being a landlord/property manager is one of the most litigious careers in the country, so make sure to document the process each step of the way to best protect yourself and your assets.

I know there are some past forum posts but I was wanting to get together with some people who are currently active in this space.

Active investor also looking into investing in New Orleans.

I BET IT IS!

Unfortunately real estate alone doesn't offer a ton of opportunities either in a traditional planning sense (i.e. not talking about 1031s, property managment companies, etc.)With active trades or businesses many times we can advocate for large retirement contributions into 401ks or SEPs which can save a bunch in taxes.

I will give it a shot and see what kind of activity I get after a month or so. 

I'll bet that puts you ahead of 75% of the other investors out there that don't put much thought at all into post-acquisition property taxes and how that effects income.
