It's announced here on BP in the http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happenings sub-forum as well as via our closed facebook group and a monthly email list (message me to be added).For example, here's the thread for last month's meetup http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/209734-detroit-michigan-monthly-meetup-july-2015 that has links to the facebook group and last month's event page.

@Alan Day - I would suggest reading the linked blog post for a better general understanding of the REO process.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/?

Hi @Alain Yu,No questions are silly on the forum :)While the list of people on the link you provided may be used, you may also not need them on your 'team' depending on what type of investing you are pursuing.
