I usually like to start it shorter to be safe if I need to end the tenancy, but I know some people opt for the longer 14-15 month leases.

Meetup and eventbrite seem to be the other platforms that people post them in.

Many of the people that come are members of Lifestyles Unlimited so they sometimes talk about upcoming events for members only, but the meeting is open to everyone and they share some excellent information. 

There are all types of people in this world, many people have different stories.

Lots of other people had bad experiences. 

People listing a budget of 50k, 100k, 200k in NJ (never will happen).

But some (Dave Ramsey) people would rather have just a few paid off properties making just a little cash flow.

I think other people seeing makes me feel accountable to post along with having it written out.

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

All lies and manipulation of people who do not see through him.
