There's also a group that meets monthly at Tommy's Pizza in Dublin run by @Ed W (Ed Wachsman) of Sweet Tree Investments who's here on BP.

As a former wedding planner and small business owner, I hope I can transfer those skills and learn ALOT more along the way so that we might be succcessful in this new venture and not "lose the family farm"

My fiancé and I are currently less than a year out from our wedding!

I would wait for the next major downturn if you are wedded to investing here.If you are looking for a passive experience in real estate investing there are other options where you can invest in growing markets all over the country.

Thanks @Lucas Carl, that's a wedding photo from last month :-)  "The ol' gray mare ain't what he used to be".

They actually got married on the property & had their wedding pics taken there.

We have been living together for 7 years so the wedding can happen whenever we want, but don’t want to have to pay $100,000 in taxes because if it.

January 30 - Weds - at 6PM.

If you have time an excellent event is the every Wed at 10am-12 full timers meeting. 

In an average year I get less than 5 inquiries from them, and it's usually someone coming here for a wedding or graduation that just wants to stay a weekend.
