@Fabian Alvarado - I am not in your neck of the woods so I won't be much help in networking, but here are a few suggestions: People set up their 'keywords' to alert them when someone mentions that particular word.

(Using the HELOC at all conflicts with my desire to fix and flip 2 or 3 properties to build some cash reserves before investing in the next buy-and-hold, but this seems like a deal that might be worth while to investigate further even at the expense of any flips.)Before I spend time and resources checking out that property, however, I would like to know if there even are any avenues any of you can recommend for financing this deal. 

Don't worry, these 12 hours will be spread over the course of a month.Of these conversations only 25% will warrant further investigation and if you have everything set up, you should be able to do some preliminary numbers on a property within 30 minutes (assuming you're not interrupted by kids, work, etc.). 6×30 minutes is three hours.

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.

I'd also encourage you to set up some key word alerts to get notified of forum discussions that meet your interests and geography.
