Thanks for the responses Grayson and Brian.I would love to join for one of the meet ups.

The most important thing is networking, Bigger Pockets is great and there are a bunch of groups on Facebook I could recommend but, you need a local accountability and an REI meeting would be the best place to find good people and find someone to help find the information you need and someone(s) to be accountable to.

@Drew ReynoldsThank you sir your assessment is very informative and intuitive.

I had a couple phone calls with them, and then flew out to meet with them in person.
