Going to be proactive and call on a few folks who I've seen to be pretty active and knowledgeable and put myself out there to see if we could connect: Chris Soignier, Hattie Dizmond, Jon Klaus, Mark Allen, David Veeder to name a few.Don't mean to alienate anyone as I'm a very network minded individual who sees the value in building solid relationships.As for investing, I'm actively pursuing a multi-unit (duplex to fourplex) to utilize as an owner occupant but an looking to ramp up additional units by the end of the year.I've gotten my foundation down and now want to get this knowledge into consistent action.Have some ideas and questions to share as well on the forums, pretty excited to get involved here and start returning the favor to BP and what it has provided.

@Mark S., yeah, that's why I said "Might" ;-)  Thanks for the heads-up on the meetup.

Mark Pedroza have you been to one of those meet ups before?

Hi,My name is mark and I'm a bit new to the concept of real estate investing.

@Mark Graffagnino, property condition standards for VA are higher than any other Agency loan.If the property is in decent shape and the pest report is relatively clean, I wouldn't worry about it. 

Michael Reilly , Mark Nolan , Brandon Booth , thank you for the welcome!

@Mark StoneI decided to keep the place and now the problems with the place are becoming more apparent.
