If your IRA is receiving a discount because of your relationship with a vendor, then you are providing a benefit to the IRA.You should definitely not become the delivery boy for your IRA. 

I just wanted to introduce myself and get the ball rolling with networking with people in my area.

Someone who has been doing this for a while is going to have a network of people and methods they use to find out about these types of properties before anyone else does.

Would love to network with other individuals who are doing the same!

Happy to network and assist.

Plus access to MLS, walk through properties any time you want, networking with other agents and people working in other aspects of the industry will be much simpler.

Network with local brokers, agents, and wholesalers, and be responsive when they send you deals. 

My LLC is up and running and I'm looking to network with fellow BPers in Northern Colorado (Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland) but am interested in the other side of the mountains and south, too. 

In terms of functionality, we want video, audio and fob entry and possibly a key pad as well for delivery men, etc.  

My best advice is to start networking with people who are already doing these things in your area.
