As for networking, be sure to attend the monthly SJ meet up hosted by @Johnson H.

Here is a video of there event that I hosted last month if you want to see what it is like.

We use Google for everything... email, web hosting, cloud, etc.

@Rick Snow @Cody Squires@Adil Shah@Sadhna RamI host a MeetUP in Sac but I fully support anyone who wants to do it more frequently.

As a matter of fact, most of the VR management companies here are so overbooked they're having to borrow homes from other management companies just to be able to host the demand for their vacation rentals.

I'm actually buying 3 properties in a bundle from the original owners.

So far, I've only read The Book on Rental Property Investing by your favorite podcast co-host, which incidentally, is how I found out about BP.I've always been interested in real estate investing and am now exploring whether this is a viable option and a good fit for me to accomplish a few of my goals around financial security.  

I've been an AirBnB host for two years @Mindy Jensen and those are some GREAT ideas.

@Pete Jannello, NY while it may be a bit overpriced , there are always deals to be had if you put the work in, remember you just have to be creative , be innovative enough to find motivated sellers, people always sell and offload properties for a whole host of reasons, retirement , job transfer, relocation, estate sales, divorce, off market,even those with criminal ramifications are fair game and a viable source of deals.
