I would suggest checking the "events" tab here on BP and also checking meetup.com.

Here is the link to the event I'll be attending tomorrow night. https://www.meetup.com/Learn-How-To-Be-a-Real-Esta....

You can find it listed in the events section of BP and on the TRIG website.

I do realize you have the added challenge of caring for your disabled Mother.One avenue I would utilize to accomplish both your real estate goals and finding employment is attending as many networking events as time and money (they are not all free) allow.

if yes, you generally won't be able to take distributions unless one of the following triggering events is met.Death, disability, have reached age 59 1/2.

Sam - if you join meetup.com and checkout the BWI group, you might want to go to their Monday Mixer event as it's basically a big happy hour with other investors. 

Especially the MEMflips mtg (on the MIG events page).

These however tend to be cross pollinated with companies in different industries.The El Camp project I noted above and my concept is to be industry specific so we may have social events that networking events that can be mutually beneficial among the group.thanks for the feedback!
