However, there are lot more experienced investors at that meetup compared to a lot of the OC meetups I have gone to.

There is a Colorado Springs property I would like to run by more experienced investors (I have just started learning).

Either the seller's lawyer or your lawyer can do this while the other just reviews the terms.

Bigger Pockets is the best way to go when reaching out to experienced investors and getting deals done the right way.

Partner with experienced House Flipper and if needed take less % in exchange for more deals and experience.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the New Jersey area, but I do commend you for taking a great first step in real estate investment...reaching out to experienced investors here on BiggerPockets.Also, I would encourage you to also join your local real estate investment club as well.In any case, I wish you all the best.

I am in the process of finding my first mailing list,  for a direct mailing campaign, the site I've read about  (findmotivatedsellers.cm, listsource.com,etc) all have terrible reviews.

I was planning on signing up with them next week, but the the Yelp reviews I just saw for them made me very nervous.

It might have areas that will continue to do well and others that will go down in its popularity so I would tend to look in areas close to home and that area in high demand, has a diverse economy, population rise, and job growth, and talking to experienced Agents and get their opinions if I was looking at it long term.
