Currently, I am meeting up with a few investors with larger portfolios and experience in the field and learning all I can from them as well as networking and creating some contacts.

We are marketing with Jerry Puckett and working to find deals in Tarrant County.We would love to learn from others and if we can help each other we would love to meet up!

We're having our first live meet-up!

The market here is pretty hot right now.I started looking at doing another flip after I sell this one, and there are no lots for sale or many fixers either,so what I have been thinking about is building a second unit in the backyard of this house.  

I was able to fill each space with photographers, hair salon, insurance agent, recording studio, background check company, cpa, medical massage and a 3000 sq ft floor to a non-profit dance studio.I often bring the group together for happy hours on my dime, networking meetings etc.  

I plan to qualify as a business and meet the criteria for the home office deduction.

that area is extremely hot right now especially the "better" streets.  

I also really enjoy the weekly live webinars and there's a monthly Northern Atlanta Real Estate Meet Up meet up that's awesome. 

Not sure where are you located in southeast missouri - there is a REIA group in Springfield and then a bunch in Kansas City and one that meets in Columbia.  

Items you should be asking yourself about this or any opportunity is:- Risk or Exposure - Exit strategy - Property specifics - Financing - ROI Evaluate worst-case scenario and determine if the property meets your needs or criteria.
