., I would say this all has to do with your bandwidth, network size, goal of those interactions, and personal style.Of course you can pick up a phone and call people.  

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I've been running companies using this product (starting with its SOffice (Sun Office) predecessor) for over 2-decades and interact with lots of Clients who run MS Office.

This is a great place to learn and interact with others to ask questions and see where others excel.My suggestion would be to look at some of the Bootcamps that BP offers.

I think you will find the interaction in the forums really helps you learn quite a bit.

Engage in conversations, follow regional investors, and make contact.Note that establishing a solid network is essential to real estate investment, and interacting with nearby investors may offer helpful advice and assistance.

Be real in your interactions, share your goals and don't be shy about giving back.

It's very informational, interactive, and representative of the State Exam.

I also use a GIS mapping website like this one I found for Orange county CA http://gis.co.orange.nc.us/land/search.asp Click on “land records division" on the left Then select "Orange county interactive GIS mapping systems" Click on "accept limitations" Enter the last name first then their first name (Johnson Judy) then click on the little binoculars next to the box in which you entered the name.
