Was wondering if there was any good and proven way to attract such individuals?

I have succeeded, after a few tries, in obtaining the e-mail of an individual who can submit my request to be a qualified buyer/disposer of distressed assets.

On an individual basis, I have a credit score over 800 with revenue already being created and have very little debt.

Its ~5 blocks from the ocean right on the neptune/atlantic beach border.

This is generally an individual bank overlay as the fannie requirements allow banks to use 75% of rental income immediately so long as you an provide a lease.

Now my kids are grown, I am in the industry, and I want to get serious about it.My goals for this group are to network with like minded individuals, develop some great relationships, offer my services as a property manager and realtor to those who would benefit from my services, and hopefully find someone who would be willing to be a mentor someone like me in a mutually beneficial relationship.I look forward to the opportunity to plug into the knowledge and support of this community! 

Every property lost that year could have been overturned.. but each individual who lost them would have had to bring separate actions. 

The properties are within 4-5 blocks from the school itself.
