Be a good landlord though and you will meet many quality friends.  

I had a meeting with a lender about getting a second home loan.

You will get plenty of that at your office sales meetings, office training, CE training, board and association training.   

Quote from @Johnny Lynum: Quote from @Billy Smith: I like SFH in the A-B area rent it you do the  upkeep  doing as much as possible your self to help max your rent out .I like to pay down the note as fast as possible .If in a C-D area I would flip the SFH wash your hands of it.SFH are generally easier to unload if you get in a cash crunch, I like staying in the first time home buyers level of a SFH  keeping it in a hot zone .If I were a BIG fish I would do deals at various level's of course after  doing the home work . 

If the SEC came sniffing around and your main job was raising money and all you do is attend a weekly meeting, good luck to you! 

@Asseille OdelCFRI.netCheck out the calendar of events and start volunteering - it’s the best way to meet people there.

Function Meets Design – A stunning rental is useless if it doesn’t function seamlessly for guests.

Becca,Thank you for your thread, very nice to meet you.

I'd like to meet other builders and investors here at actual projects, collab with vendors and trades and do these deals I have together.

I am looking to connect with the investors there as the promotors are continuing to take Asset Management fees to the tune of $450K a year (on top of PM fees) even when their payout to the investors is around $20K a quarter (not meeting preferred) and the overall fund is negative about $450K.
