Just wanted to introduce myself and enjoying the Bigger Pockets site and forums.

Quote from @Theodore Sutton: Check out the site meetup.com and also the events page on BP for meetings up in your area to meet people like this and build relationships.

Is your income considered variable in nature depending on job sites and that you do not work a set amount of hours per week?

If you or anyone you know would like to join us as a participant or presenter, please contact me via the Meetup site or message me on Bigger Pockets.

The Lenders tab at the top of the site helps with finding lenders by product and location.

We're closing next week on an event venue with 10 lodging units on-site. 

One thing you might think of doing is having and promoting your own website to avoid the exhorbitant fees charged by the third party sites such as Expedia, Booking.com and Air BnB.  

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

But, more commonly, they bring in the capital, maybe do a site visit before closing, and ultimately just forward an investor email to the main operator, then forward the response to the investor.
