Thank you again, and you are so right, it takes longer to build a portfolio when buying cash, but it has magnificent benefits when you buy houses outright. 

We've got a long way to go to compete with Coachella or Lollapalooza but a great start for the new venue!

It seems that networking and asking around at local venues are the meat and potatoes of finding a pulse for a neighborhood’s current and future Supply and Demand.Are there any other strategies and tips for staying updated with future city/business development plans, new market trends, etc?

I am always more concerned in jurisdiction/choice of law/venue.

I am looking at starting monthly meetup get together group with people who are:- Looking for deals- Staring at a deal right now- Looking for others like you- Seeking tricks /tips from others- Looking for a partner / mentor- Looking to build your network- Thinking of getting into real estate- Seeking hard money- Sitting on money and want to invest it- Looking to bounce ideas off of other real estate investorsIf you are interested in getting together to socialize, talk, network and have fun please let me know so that I can set up a venue at a fun local place. 

This makes sense for high dollar transactions. 1m+A drop down LLC transaction is a better venue for this situation.

I'm a newbee & trying to find homes for 2 types of investing in my area: * flip * lease optionsLooking for least expensive/most results  marketing venues.

Once we choose venue I will put this on EVENTS page.
