and would love to meet you guys and network / collaborate with investors around the US and L.A.

I get it with the intention of getting involved with real transactions, learn some insights of RE, and hopping to find one or more investors to collaborate with.

It's really exciting to be a part of this collaborative community.

I'm using these guys for mostly lead generation and data input, not anything accounting-wise.Here are some of the tools I use to keep us working together virtually.Slack / Skype (Slack does voice now)Zapier (for automating leads that come in from Unbounce -- put them into our CRMs, txt via Twilio, etc)Zendesk / Freshdesk (for important things that need a ticket)Google services (easy collaboration) 

Hi @Paul DePalo,I am looking to collaborate with someone locally on a flip project this year.

I have a backround in construction and have always wanted to try a flip.I live in Bergen County NJ and work in NYC in the finance industry, and I am looking expand and collaborate with like minded people.  

If not, then you still came to the right place for information, Q&As, collaboration, etc...  

Hope to meet some of you and establish a great collaboration.

I plan to use BiggerPockets as a place I can share ideas, find/share opportunity, and collaborate with like-minded people.

I would definitely love to collaborate as I'm new myself.
