Glad to see you active on the forums!

There are lots of active BP members who attend the meetings.http://www.meetup.com/Central-Arkansas-Real-Estate-Investors-Association/Best of luck to you!

@Sean TaggeDrop by NUREIA tomorrow night in Logan (nureia.org).There are a bunch of people who are active in Box Elder.  

I would definitely appreciate any advice you guys have to offer and I can't wait to become active in the bigger pockets community!

A baseball, basketball, hockey, or soccer stadium could be different though as there is a steadier level of activity associated with 40-80 games per year than just 8.

@Kate AndersonSTEP ONE:   Attend as many REI MeetUp groups and REI Association meetings as possible and become a relationship building machine.STEP TWO:  Study all you can on marketing and become a marketing machineSTEP THREE:  Find an active investor in one of the local groups who will take whatever deals you find and determine if it can be monetized. 

@Garrett Beecher  I have personally only been a speaker at the reias a few years back but I know they are active here as well.but yes very tight market for fix and flip... a few of the larger builders that got hammered in 08 have gone into infil and rehab ... and they are stout competition...

These activities by a disinterested third party would be considered real estate brokering in my state and require being run through a licensed real estate brokerage.

Current active listings are still below my locked-in price.

If she were interested and actively contributing to the business, that would be a different story.
