I am seeking 2 things in particular: help about how to get correct and accurate information about different parts of the business and how to get started at my age, and also I am hoping that through communicating with you all I may be blessed enough to meet some amazing and intelligent people who can guide me in the right direction through my real estate journey.

Do most of you communicate by email, phone, face to face?

It was brought to my attention through communicating with @Bob Couture on this site.Western Mass REI Club (http://www.meetup.com/Western-Mass-REI-Club/).Good luck to you with your goals!

If you bring others in, there might be too many voices ( and some may want to liver there forever if they don't get 200k or all might sell for 70k ) Good luck 

You can communicate with him Live. 

No sooner had they moved in than my phone began to ring with complaints from the neighbors, and communicating the problems and expected proper behavior to the new tenants was difficult because they barely spoke English.

In our area we need to deal with multiple entities at some or all levels depending on the circumstances.

Scott on flipping houses, then I'll move onto the Calculating Rehab book, supplemented by lots of webinars, podcasts, and communicating with locals (hopefully!)

Communicate via the internet and social sites.

Chances are they won't get the deal happening anyway, by which time you should be better prepared when you re-establish communication with the Seller?
