I have learned over the years, that there will always be those that do and those that don't or won't.I think we all know the old saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can not make him drink.".

It seems there is a pretty decent group of people on BiggerPockets here in Portugal and it would be fun to meet up and have a few drinks and chat mainly about REI.

My clients appreciate that. 10 years ago, people used to offer you lunch, drinks, etc. no one even offers a glass if water anymore.

I know some good people that have went to dinner, had a couple of drinks, drove home, and got pulled over.

To avoid the risk management/insurance that comes with tenants' wood fire use:I'm thinking to seal the chimney cap on roof and run a cord putting an electric Infrared heater fireplace in there, so they can still open the glass and get heat and watch TV over the mantle, but can't burn anything or have any flame.

There was a glut in wineries not long back when The Australian dollar was high and people who once couldn't get enough of Australian wine suddenly turned back to relatively cheaper and more fancy sounding French and Italian plonk, combined with the change in regulation in the Chinese wine market that killed it as a business drink.

This run though focusing on zero debt instead of drinking the refi to you die cool aid I believed prior to 08 .. we can now sleep well at night compared to those days.

Central Ave has a number of unique, local restaurants and drink spots (laundromat speakeasy with bottomless mimosas and Cuban food on Sundays).Good luck!
