I've also done a lot of cold calling, which is how I landed my recent property in Southie.

My plan is to continue my real estate education for the next 3 months, and in the meantime I would like to set up weekly coffee/lunch meetings with local professionals and like minded Real Estate Investors to grow my Network.  

We haven't set any expectations as to what will be done so the door is open for opportunity.I've come to the conclusion that if I want to make any deals happen within the next year, I'm going to have to use creative financing. 

Just get a Buyer's agreement where the buyer pays a set commission rate for off market properties you bring him.  

I want to start making a certain number of cold dials, and cold contacts in my work day.

Imagine having a  fund all landlords contributed to, set up by landlords, to legally process all evictions and collections.

Its a good thing to set the expectations early.

@David Lichtenstadter Thans for the reply, I have been browsing a broad range of jersey ( union, sommerset, middlesex, bergen, essex, passaic and morris counties ) I know that is quite a lot, however I am not extremely set on one area yet.

I am setting a timeline of 2-4 months for my first property.

You'll probably need to figure in the moving and set up costs for any new trailers coming in.
