What a great resource for all real estate professionals to get together to share questions and answers to real world obstacles.I brought up this topic in a forum last week but was taken down as I posted the url to my blog.

Here are a few recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsIf you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select that person below.

Make sure to listen to all the BP podcasts, read the articles on the main blog and be active in these forums to learn a ton very quickly about any topic in real estate you want to know more about.This is also a great place to meet people that can be assets to your business.

I have a couple of questions on the topic of non-performing notes.  

It would be hard to justify more than one probably for the topic of this discussion.

It's free, other than the food and drinks you order :) But there will be a lot of various backgrounds there for you to talk to and network with. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/144...Good luck out there and welcome to the forum.
