Kalamazoo has a monthly meetup (I think there is a virtual one this upcoming Monday), as well as a "Property Krawl" one Saturday a month led by 2 local investors.

You can also do virtual driving for dollars using DealMachine, Batch.io and others.

You've seen it (or in some form of photo shopped, virtually staged, virtually landscaped form). 

BP is a great place to find these people, both virtually and in real life.

A smart tax pro can help you calculate the owner financing on this so that your taxes are minimized.The best part is many CPAs are set up to serve you virtually, so when you're searching for a good one, you can focus on their knowledge base and not be limited to your geographic location.Best of luck!

I know we could outsource it to a virtual assistant, etc. but wanted to automate it if possible.Thanks in advance for any ideas.Mike

A few are still in person and most are meeting virtually.

Not sure if you're local here in Birmingham or looking to invest remotely, but either way let me know if you ever want to grab a coffee (in-person or virtually) and chat.Great advice from fellow BP members above, sounds like you've got some solid direction there.

I am looking for a highly recommended contractor and real estate investor who would be trustworthy enough to help me find a property before moving there (I.e. helping with some virtual inspections and quotes/comps).I would love your recommendations, and am equally interested in making friends, connections, and learning of great local meetups!
