I am interested in meeting local investors in the area or attending meetups to continue my introduction and know folks with experience such that I can learn, JV or just be a spectator eager to learn.Thanks,Nick

Lessons learned?

I learned about the Bigger Pockets community from a fellow soldier that has a few properties while serving full time in the military. 

There is a learning curve for all software.  

I feel like I have some catching up to do and I think Bigger Pockets and this community is the right place to learn how to do it. 

Came out pretty good Lessons learned?

Go talk to a QI  Then you don't really understand how these discussion forums work because the first thing is I didn't come here necessarily asking for help I'm asking questions that will be good for everybody to learn from and that's helpful for everybody the second thing is these forums aren't necessarily here to help people but for certain people to sell their products and get referrals and the third thing is when your adversarial all these guys with the big egos want to come out here and prove you wrong and that is the main time they sometimes say something that is useful because now they are motivated by ego.

There are also cases where a mix of both self-management and outsourcing is used.For example, the Hong Kong Housing Authority has a comprehensive management structure with various committees responsible for policy and implementation, indicating a largely self-managed approach.

@Bryan DavidsonI agree with Russell.First you probably will need to get an attorney and there goes well more than $600.This is “chalk it up to learning” and next time ask for receipt and photos of what was done for the repair

This is surely the best place to start networking and learning.
