I would start looking for Facebook groups dedicated to the topic and go even further and look for local groups in the cities in which you are interested in and join them for discussion.We have a few here in the Orlando area (central Florida Airbnb, Airbnb thought counsel, etc) there are swap groups for owners to trade housing.

Given your epxeprience, I was hoping to connect with you on a slightly different topic - long distance real estate investing.

We have had a Friday morning networking only meeting, but that will transition in October to a once a month virtual, possibly on a weekend or evening - no speaker, no agenda, just introductions, and discussion based on questions and topics posed by the attendees.It is a member's only, but we could probably get you in once as a guest.Not sure the best time to do this - evening, day time or weekend?

That’s why I’m trying to branch out to some different topics in politics and economics.
