• Are there specific networking events or forums within the BiggerPockets community that you recommend?

Looking to learn as much as we can and build our network.

Specifically, something where we as agents could network with each other, vendors who support our business, and also investors in the BP community.

That approach might not serve the seller well, especially since the goal is to genuinely help them by offering a reliable quick solution.My current thought is to focus on networking and building a solid and extensive buyers list and understanding their ideal investment criteria upfront.

Team/ Networking -  I'll need all the help I can get with this property. 

Definitely be sure to check the meetups section on BP to attend some networking in the area 

REI investments-  we are retired thus not in a growth mode.  

The best way to find these are networking locally.

My understanding is the Padsplit’s member agreement model is to avoid such situations.

You could easily buy a turnkey home through a company like mine, Real Wealth Network, and its the same thing minus the 15% fee.
