This is almost like saying you open a restaurant and need to make separate bank accounts for payroll, utilities, customers, taxes, insurance, repairs, supplies, food, etc....Learn to do some bookkeeping and it will make your life, and your accountant's/cpa's life much easier. 

We always have a speaker and have just started providing food and drinks as well.  

These are the people for whom 1 missing paycheck (for illness, emergency, etc) would mean not putting food on the table. 

When you do, their name appears in your post highlighted in blue and biggerpockets sends an email to us and we can know you are talking at us.Secondly, in my post I was warning you that folks would criticize you for your low returns not suggesting you change course. 

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order there is no charge to attend.

LolHope my food anology  to real estate was helpful.

Definitely good food for thought.  

I have had other investors ask me about this, so it's good that you brought it up.If we want to talk about jobs in Indiana (specifically Indianapolis), you might also want to reference this article from the Indy Star two days ago about why Indiana is a great tech hub: http://www.indystar.com/story/money/2016/09/09/what-makes-indiana-tech-hub/89962386/It doesn't offer a lot of numbers about specific job growth but it does highlight why businesses find the area so attractive. 

What your formula highlights is lost opportunity cost perhaps but it certainly isn't a number to use for return on investment.
