My partner and I are eager to connect and build our network which is why I have spent time here but am going to abandon this venue since there is just no reciprocation and many other discussion/networking platforms to choose from.

Ill have to start paying attention to the minutes, thanks.Yeah, i already considered that venue. 

Let me know your thoughts on how you thought of the venue if you attended this event in another state.

It is free (but we ask that everyone buys food/drinks from Rusty's for giving us the venue for the evening) 

Who chooses the venue or the panel of arbitrators?

As well as what venue will moderate if there is a disagreement. i.e. if you agree to mediation then they can't sue until they go that route first.

The venue has wifi for our convenience.

I can look around and get a venue.

Marketing properties and knowing when is too soon and too late to market and the venues is another reason to use a PM.With this all said, we recommend to manage yourself for the first property with a mentor.

Now we build in a design fee on higher end properties, because it's hard and a skilled designer will actually save us time and money and aggravation.I used to think that wedding planning was a total BS job until I ran my own wedding and spent I don't know how many hundred hours making phone calls to vendors, researching venues, lining up bands, making hotel arrangements, figuring out table arrangements, figuring out how many staff to hire, picking out silverware, and trying to figure out where to put the tables and chairs.
