Is there a place where real estate investors or people starting wholesaling in Memphis go to for a meet and greet?

Seems like it would be an AA meeting for people pretending to get things done.

I have tapped into my local REIA group and plan to attend a few meet ups; thoughts?

Attend a few REIA meets in your area and network with experience investors.

I have a plus membership mainly so I can post the meet-ups for the London group.

Usually, REO offers get pretty quick responses.Along with the BP forums and podcasts, I would also recommend joining he local REIA such at DIG (www.digonline.com).Steve Babiak co-chairs the Montgomery and Chester county sub-group which meets in Collegeville every month.

Come to a meeting and mingle.

Come to one of our meetings and you will meet a couple of them. 

I'm here to meet and learn from as many people as I can and offer any help that I can provide.

i gather it's still riskier to buy out of state compared to in your own backyard. 3.) not really a con - but weighing against buying in AL would be that we still have 9 or so months before the move... we could still look and purchase here in our backyard as opposed to waiting...though the deals we see here don't meet the 1% rule, while meeting the 50% rule.
