Not sure where you are based right now, but we are organizing a monthly meetup (digitally for the moment so you could connect from over the whole world) and there we are discussing a lot of related real estate topics.

Still waiting on the organic leads to come in, fingers crossed that will happen as you said within the next month or two.  

I don't think 24 hours went by when I got an email from someone in the organization to setup a call. 

I bought my first property with JWB a few years ago and have no complaints, they are a top notch organization.

what is important to you - city, suburbs, weather, sports?

Build a local network and stay organized to do deals remotely.

I personally just attend 1 to 3 auctions in my home state of SC.Personally, I attend as many auctions as I can :)I actually have my list of favorite states and counties, but with good organization and a detailed plan there are no limits if you operate online.

While this is probably overkill, real estate can be synonymous with "sport".  

I recently connected with a gal through a BP meetup and want to try and organize a partnership.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
