I have a couple of friends that attend meet-ups - I'll have to start attending more with them.I'm trying my best to keep myself occupied with REI material anytime I have down time.

Next meeting is next Tuesday !

I am getting ready to meet with a motivated seller of a distressed property. 

We're looking for a brokerage that has no sales goals/quotas (or 1 sale/yr to maintain active status), no or minimal monthly fees, flat fee, no expectations of meetings or working from an office, but enough of a presence to answer basic questions as needed.If you have any folks you'd like to recommend that meet all (or most) of the criteria above, please share.

I was wondering if there are any wholesaler meet-ups in the DC/ NOVA area or any other ways I can connect with more people.

Great to e-meet you.

Also looking to get into a great REIA within the area to help with networking and finding like-minded people.It's a pleasure to meet everyone!

I'm not looking to profiteer, but I could see a benefit to moving down and working with a contractor company just to meet the inevitable incoming demand (I have little experience, but want to learn), and I imagine there will be a whole new market of available properties to flip.

Go to meet ups in your area, you can find plenty here on BP or the Meetup app.

To qualify, you are going to need a sponsor/loan guarantor who meets these requirements to sign on the loan.Your best bet is secure a 20% to 25% down commercial loan, raise money to fund the down payment, and find someone to sign on the loan.
