I wrote a blog post and created an interactive Google Map based on @James Wise Ultimate Guide. 

Elizabeth Wilson that's true, I will mostly be interacting with this guy online.

Thanks for the encouragement @Carlos Zapata.

He encouraged me to listen to the Podcasts (number 42 in my favorite).

Stay encourage and get ready for your next plunge. 

Thanks, @Travis Rasmussen for the encouragement.

My vote when this question comes up is to encourage people not to reinvent the wheel.

So my advice is to encourage you to ask a more specific question - at the very least define an area, so that the investors you wish to connect with have a sense that you've done some research, and have knowledge and an interest in working in specific areas. 

utm_source=search&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=books (books recommended by BPers)Simply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational, thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

You will find great advice and wonderful support and encouragement here.
