It is participated in by an extremely intelligent group of men and women at multiple levels.

You will find a wealth of information here.Also be sure to check out the following local REIA groups.http://ntarei.com/ This group has a general meeting once a month and hosts a lots of workshops for a small fee.

I find there's always a gold nuggets of information in each one and I go back to listen to a number of them multiple times.

We wanted to purchase multiple properties at once for buy and holds (2-3 at the most), but is LLC best, or should we act as "co-homeowners"...

If you plan to acquire multiple properties then yes considering getting a LLC for every 1-5 properties.

If that means multiple complaints on multiple salespeople so be it.

Seller might have 6,000 for a policy but that is because they own multiple properties and reached  a policy limit and to insure one more is just a little bit extra.

Very involved with good educational groups, workshops and opportunities in the area.

I teach FPU at my church for one thing, and, sit on the Board of Directors for multiple Not-For-Profit companies. 

Attended a few seminars in the past and just finished a 3-day workshop today actually haha.
