Thank you Andrew! 

Hi all,

I have seen a lot of networking events for investors marketed here, on MeetUp, etc.  I am trying to figure out which ones would be the best to invest my time in, if I was hoping to meet a lot of fellow RE investors.

I feel that these things are a really mixed bag when it comes to attendance.

Can anyone recommend the most well attended investor networking events in Houston and Dallas?

Much thanks!

Don't all of these cost money (except CL)?  I was also looking for more of a one stop shop.  I want to minimize the time of creating multiple listings, creating new user names, etc.  I only get $1000/month on this one, so I don't want a lot of brain damage.

Perhaps there really isn't a one stop shop for residential rentals such as an Amazon or ebay?

I have been using Craigslist with success for a number of years marketing and managing a modest portfolio of residential real estate in core Denver.  However, inquiries have tailed off in the past 12 months, and scams have increased.

Looking for recommendations on a good website that I can pay to post a listing on.  Right now I just need one place filled.

I checked rent.com, and they wanted to upsell a lot of features that didn't appeal to me. It also seemed a bit pricey - $180 for 90 days (I don't need to list something in this area for 90 days).  

I am also confused about whether there is one site that potential tenants use as a resource - I do not perceive a dominant player in the market.  One of the things that Rent.com offers is cross listing on three other websites with their standard fee, and a $35 upcharge for them to list on ~20 other sites.  I question the efficacy of these ~20 other sites.  

Any recommendations would be appreciated.  

Just curious why some insurers do a pre-inspection and others do not.  Why would a property owner care? 

Been a residential RE investor in the Cap Hill / Cheesman Park area since 2010.  Units that used to take one day to rent out now take 2-4 weeks to rent.
