I have been interested in the investing game plan really all my life but never knew it.

Networking would be amazing at this point in our game.

Although I've had this BP account for 1 year we experienced difficulties with the app and failed to engage.

Hopefully there's no deferred maintenance, or any surprises: you or your PM were on top of their game in fixing things that broke, and the tenant was honest about anything that did break. 

When it comes to buying properties with the LLC, that's a whole new ball game and it starts making sense when you are doing multiple deals per month.

The tenant never knew this was the case, but it was clearly an instruction to me that alternative actions would be required should the tenant(s) begin to display problematic behavior.On more than one occasion those particular subtenants asked "what happens if I just walk away" and my response was always "remember, you signed a personal guarantee" never adding anything more and then changing the subject.Thankfully, I never had to engage a significant default with those that evolved into problem tenants (other than really late rents) and was able to resolve any issues through continuous communication with the tenant.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me when the REIC meet times are, and where in the west Michigan area (Grand Rapids, Muskegon) as I'm looking to connect with like minded individuals who's been in the game a while and can help me get off on the right foot.

Estimates are another ball game altogether!

Don't know the terms of the offer or if an agent was engaged in the transaction, but this is a case where DIY fails due to insufficient understanding.The offer should have NOT been on a standard residential form, but used a Commercial Property FormThat form gives the opportunity to require the seller [x]  To deliver the property vacant.OR on the standard form, to add that contingency Without that, the BUYER is required (in Calif at least) to perform a NO Fault Eviction and that means relocation fees will be awarded to the tenant.I fear this was a DIY purchase and you're on the hook for the consequences.

Charlie McVan congrats on your decision to get into the real estate game. 1.)
