The main meeting is either more advanced material or sometimes a Guru selling a kit or book or program.  

Brandon's book on No or Low Money Down Investing would be a good start

I'm totally new to this and have been consuming as much information as I can through the site, podcast, and books, but I've never felt more motivated and I'm excited to get involved in the BiggerPockets community (once I educate myself a little more, first)! 

Lol)I have since, read and/or studied eeeeevery book, blog, article, webpage, documentary, there is on real estate...or it seems I have!

Start at City Hall assessor's office as to the current owner, they usually have the book and page reference.

Maricel B.that some books would be the first step.

who knows how to find or make work the landing pages on craigslist for REI Blackbook, with the algorithms which re-posts it to the top automatically?  I created a landing page but i don't know how to post it on craigs...

That was the idea, easier to get another place and make more money and then buy outright after a few years... but a lot of the different investing books I've read really don't touch on land contracts which is why I was wondering about them.
