I have found a few local groups and plan to get out and start meeting people within my local REI community.

My brother in law is interested in doing some JVS with us so that is fantastic from a capital point of view.One delimma we are facing is having no credit rating yet (slowly working on it but seems to take ages)Anyway that is a little about myself, look forward to meeting many like minded people and learning a lot, hopefully not the hard way! 

However, I have some basic requirements that each property must meet;  They must Cash-flow a minimum of $100 per unit per month when purchased . 

You're lying to people whose trust you're trying to gain before you even meet them. 

Nice to meet you @Daniel Kielbowicz!

Also you can make contacts that are in your area through biggerpocket.com/meet .

I do have a meeting set up with a different bank later this week, as after reading some on here I do not think the first bank I selected is necessarily the best fit for what I intend to do long term.  

Look forward to meeting anyone in the area.Thanks,John Carey

Huh, i hope i explain this better as i just joined BP couple of weeks ago and just upgrade to a PRO last Sunday!.

Hey Dylan, try checking meet-ups and real estate investment groups in your area.
