I have eaten at the Marlow's tavern in Kennesaw. Pretty decent food but the restaurant wasn't that big. Might want to give the owner a head count as you will fill the place up quick Azeez! lol

Hope all is well and glad you are having fun with real estate.

    @Azeez K. Thanks again for putting the meeting together!  It went really well and that was great place for it.  I suggest moving inside the perimeter for the next one.

    Man I hate that I missed this...somehow this never made it on my schedule.  Might be fun to do it quarterly or something.

    @Azeez K. I live right down the road from @Joel Owens in Canton.... Perhaps we should change the venue for the March meetup to out here in the Boonies!

    Echoing others, @Azeez K. fantastic job organizing a great event!  As a newbie, I think I was a little star stuck finding myself in a room with so many amazing & interesting people. Y'all have me feeling pretty inspired! Thanks & can't wait for the next one!

    Hi Azeez,

    Glad your event went well.

    I wouldn't call myself a legend..lol

    I am just another broker & investor who is passionate about commercial real estate. There are people everyday I come in contact with that I am in awe of what they are doing. Just like everyone I learn every single day and try to get better. Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep at night and just have real estate in the background so I wake up with more info... : ) 

    If you have the event somewhere around Cherokee county that would be great or Cobb by the Town Center mall. Somewhere within 20 to 30 minutes where I can come and then get back to the office for the day.

    Unless you live close to Atlanta those type locations with traffic are a bear and eat up most of your day. Out in the burbs it's easier to get back and forth. I know it will be far for some but closer for others. These events I just like getting out of the office and talking with people.
