Hi All,I've grabbed coffee recently with a a few newer investors here in Denver that I've connected with via BiggerPockets, and I was surprised to hear how many of them had reached out to very active members of BiggerPockets trying to connect for a coffee and just learn a little more about what people are doing in this market, just to have their messages not responded to, or conversations drug out with no obvious intention to connect.

We both work long hours and while she is content at her job, I am much less so and I find it very constricting in terms of available time for investing activities.
