You paid the price of admission, use them: The National Marine Corps Business Network, (www.nmcbn.com), is one I belong to, (I am also one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children), and @Stephen Haynes belongs to a local chapter of the Semper Fi Association.Looking forward to hearing about your progress, ping me if you'd like to get coffee; I'm buying.

You meet people doing deals, how they do them, where they do deals, and how much they're paying/selling.I'm happy to grab coffee with you sometime.

I would love to connect with you and talk real estate over a cup of coffee.  

I would love to get together for lunch or coffee (my treat, of course) and run some ideas by someone more seasoned than me.

The house is only six years old, but I know exactly what a bunch of non-rent-paying slugs can do to a property, especially when the code violation was for having cars parked all over the front yard.Being that I'm not a "Subject To" expert, my instinct says tell him to go forth on the short sale, but if I can find someone interested in doing a Sub2 deal, I'll hand it over to them for a cup of coffee.  

What are your goals (10x and long term) start from there and work your way backward.Also, if you are going to study at university... look into buying a house nearby.

I will be in town next week, if you wanna grab a coffee. 

Maybe take a few successful investors for lunch or coffee for another 50-100 bucks....My blog post was just for landlording classics, but I suspect the same may hold true for other areas of real estate investing.Best of luck! 

We've been working on buying a property in Robbinsville or nearby but we have some specific needs from the property.If you would like to share the details, I am interested.

Let's meet up for coffee sometime.Let me say this before I go, many people start potentially profitable endeavors, then after one disappointment, they quit...
