It was. See some of you tonight at 5:30!

@Javier Contreras @Reid Ferguson @Thomas J. Clifford @Andy Nguyen @Christopher Sarmiento @John Cornelius

Hey guys,-so looks like here's the itinerary for tomorrow:

Home inspections starting at 10 A.M. at 915 Se 12th Ave Gainesville FL 32601. Estimate will last until 11:15/30ish. I have a property manager coming by to see the home for the investor I have that's purchasing it to be rented. Some of you already have property management connections, but for those that don't, she'll be a good resource. Also, some of my investors only pay cash while others use financing. I have it looks like a local lender that is going to swing by as well.

At 12 Christopher and I are meeting at Maude's for coffee. Reid may join as well. Anyone else is welcome to stop by also.

Finally, it looks like Thomas Clifford is at work,-but is coming by the office at 5:30 or a little after. If anyone else this time works for as well,-they can join. At the very least, I'll still be here to meet with Thomas. The location is the KW Gainesville office located at 7584 Nw 4th Blvd Gainesville FL 32607.

@Javier Contreras yes feel free to come by. It's at 915 Se 12th Ave here in Gainesville. I'll be there at 10 for the WDO. The regular home inspection then starts currently at 11 but I'm attempting to move it up to 10:30.

I think tentatively Chris and I were going to meet up after a home inspection I'm attending that runs from 11 A.M. to likely around 12/12:15 on Tuesday the 20th. (BTW anyone is welcome to meet me at that home inspection if interested in meeting the home inspector and talking shop about REI. The property being inspected was listed for 99k, but my investor has it under contract for less than that. It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. My property manager thinks she can rent it for 1,250 a month+.

I can also be available to meet with everyone in the evening at the office. 5:30 P.M. to 7 P.M. works good for you guys? It doesn't necessarily have to be at the office either. Can meet somewhere with food and beverages if preferred.

I'm flexible.

@Christopher Sarmiento

I can be free either of those nights as well. I'm leaning towards planning for 8/20 to give me time to get together a couple of other resources to attend (Property management, lender, guys experienced with doing renovations for investors, etc)

Christopher, you're in. Anyone else?

Location once we all meet will be at the KW building located at 7584 Nw 4th Blvd Gainesville FL 32607.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put my cell,-so anyone can message me if they need it.

Since everyone is looking to start or meet with a group,-I can offer to reserve one of the conference rooms at my office. I also can reach out to one of my property managers that works with a lot of investors. 

Is there a night this week or next that would work for everyone? Maybe this upcoming Tuesday or Thursday evening??

I don't know the true statistic, but I'd estimate close to 0.5% of homes in Alachua County have had foundation issues addressed. 

Talking with my insurance agent contacts, I don't think it's even called sinkhole coverage anymore. I think the carriers that have something that will address serious settling issues refer to the coverage as catastrophic event coverage.

Are you seeing actual signs of settlement such as cracks around door and window frames, offset concrete block at a foundation etc, or are you just wanting the coverage for peace of mind?
