Your marketing and sales ability are very important to your sucess,  Local real estate investor clubs or meetings have the ability to help you with networking.  

Also, desperately would like to meet other investors by going to local meet ups. 

I preach this at local investor meet up groups all of the time.

Welcome Shelby,There are "unofficial" meet ups for Bigger Pockets investors. 

We are currently using quickbooks and looking for a property management software company with features to more efficiently meet our marketing, tenant screening, lease paperwork, maintenance requests etc..

Feel free to call if you have questions or want to chat...Love meeting other Canadian investors

Edgar1: put a business card together...nothing fancy just have phone # and email address. 2:hop on MeetUp and attend as many meetings as possible 3: network, network, network.  

@Gene Quiocho Networking at local meet ups is a good start!

Don't have much of a buyers list yet.Just started doing marketing in my area (bandit signs, Internet adds).I'm scheduled to attend my first REIA meeting in a couple of days (very excited about that).

Not necessarily as good as it sounds due to having to meet the standard deduction, which is around $12k or $13k for families, I believe, before any real savings kick in.
