But it really depends upon your target group.

Once you narrow down the city and the prices you want to invest in you can go to every city and find an online rei group and email questions to local realtors, property managers, investors. you can email me as I will have 2 off market buy and hold houses very soon in the 200k range.

Does anyone know of any RE investment groups that meet up in the Greenville or Goldsboro, NC areas? 

For local education and networking you have Delreia.com, www.wghp.net, and another group that meets at the Green Turtle in Christiana on the last Thursday of the month. 

I know of a great local group!
