It's one of the reasons I am in the process of building a hybrid apartment/hotel in PHX, which will have the STR benefits of automation, full kitchens, and separate living and sleeping areas while having a pool, gym, outdoor courtyard, fire pit, grilling station, central location near shopping and restaurants, efficiencies of scale, commercial zoning, and no residential neighborhood challenges.

tons of networking opportunities :) Here's a list:MonthlyThe biggest event is the Augusta REIA (the second Thursday of each month) This is the only one with a cost ($20/mo or prorated $120/yr)https://www.facebook.com/reiaofaugustaAnd the second biggest is the Bigger Pockets Meet up the 4th Friday of each month - https://www.eventbrite.com/o/christopher-oyenuga-53272302923There’s also Fit Investors Walk the 1st Saturday of each month at Savannah River Rapids https://www.facebook.com/groups/551851979899690Cashflow (the game based on Rich Dad, Poor Dad) the last Saturday of the month at 8:50am - 909 Walker St (The Auben Realty office)Weekly:Tuesdays: 8:30am, Ubora - 1128 Jones St, Augusta, GA 30901Thursdays: 6:30am, Sunrise Grill - 3830 Washington Rd #10, Augusta, GA 30907Thursdays: 4:30pm – Sole - 1033 Broad St, Augusta, GA 30901Friday: 11:55am – BBQ Barn - 10298 Atomic Rd, North Augusta, SC 29841

We even put a George Foreman grill in there.

Second the idea above to add a little color with plants, house flag, house name sign, etc. 6) Move that grill from the porch corner.

I would put the patio, not sure about the grill.

However, I was curious with Memorial Day weekend approaching am I able to hold our meeting at my house and simply write off 50% of the grocery bill for items we grill out versus eating out?

Make sure the gas to the grill is turned off for the next guest. 9.

I would leave the kegorator but take the propane tanks and grill. 

For what it's worth, in my area I purposely stay away from decks for the maintenance reasons and insurance reasons (my ins carrier makes a stink about grills on decks of rentals...something about careless renters, lighter fluid, and burning buildings!....

As far as the no pool thing - you can probably have something comparable - hot tub, kiddy pool, outdoor grilling/lounging area with lights, cornhole/ other games etc.
