We put it together every 4th Wednesday. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/64...There's also a local REIA group that meets regularly... http://www.rei-nwa.com/ @Ryan Blackstone and @Michael Ward are both outstanding realtors and investors in the area and they would also be good to network with.

I have good cash reserves.I called QuickenLoans who said they would not be able to pre-approve me due to the fact I have not worked as a contractor for at least a year.Question:Is there a way I can still get a mortgage, without waiting until I am hired as a regular employee?
