Dig out those old rock. 

If I were doing it, I'd pick someplace like Luigi's Pizza on Crowsnest (if the food is good and if it's a popular place).This looks good because the tables can be pulled together and most people like pizza (a plus if there is beer and wine there too).I'd ask Luigi if he minded if there was a gathering there, and I'd pick a slow time for about 90 minutes maximum, to help ensure there would be enough seating and that it would be relatively quiet inside.I'd also encourage the attendee's to order some pizza or other food or drinks (because Luigi has to make a buck too).As far as the itinerary for the meet, it could be, open discussion meet and greet, or more structured with some type of presentation.And if you have any trouble speaking Italian here's a quick tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

You'll see a good return in other markets, perhaps not as much as you might see in a major high demand City or on a single family home or multi-family.If you're investing in San Diego, I'd say that's a high demand very popular place.

Rock on!

I recently bought a home in a fairly popular area of the city.

Nearly 100% of the prospects who approach my firm and DIYed their returns in the prior year are either preparing their returns in a materially incorrect manner or leaving advantageous strategy on the table.DIY software doesn't turn you into a tax professional any more than reading Web MD turns me into a medical professional.That said, if you are just starting out, you can probably get by self-preparing your return until you've reached critical mass and can absorb a rock star tax professional into your budget. 

Yep,  this twat thought you could pour ROCKS down a disposal.  

This loan has been very popular with our more seasoned investors.

You rock!

Neither of these homes would be considered a 'home run' deal like a 2015 BRRRR property might be, but they are rock solid homes with new systems, high tenant demand, and in rapidly growing markets.
