I don't know about you but I am finding difficult to find events or meet up that happen on a regular basis to meet new people, share stories, experience and create strong business connections.

Here are some good places to start: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet- find and connect with other BP members that are in your area.http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts - Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you.And, of course thehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/forums - ask any question about real estate!
