I just realized a friend had invited me to the annual Lifestyles event downtown. 

I've been investing here full-time since January 205 and think it's the best area in the country to invest.I invite you to our monthly Deal Maker Session meetings - first Tuesday of every month 7pm at the Airport Marriott.

I was sent an invitation to the IRS to review my 2015 and 16 federal taxes.

Yes, we can go to meetups, of which most will not serve your needs - start your own with your focus, invite professionals to learn from etc.

Thanks for sharing the Jet Lending event invite.

There are numerous meet ups both focusing on areas North and South.

I would say that all of the numerous methods we use to find deals work, just track what you're doing so you can review and figure out how you need to tweak things going forward.

I've had numerous friends and colleagues offer me substantial amounts of money to invest (in one case $1M) and have finally decided to take a serious look at combining some of my funds with my friends and colleagues to purchase an apartment complex. 

I have read numerous times that you shouldn't invest in California real estate (you can buy 4 properties in the midwest for the price of 1 in CA) and that you should never invest in a city that has no industry or a declining population.I live in the mountains of Northern California, very "middle of nowhere".

Going full-time with numerous clients is a different beast when it comes to marketing, etc, but it doesn't sound like you necessarily want to scale that side of things.When you add in the fact that I was able to save 2.7% on the acquisition price and 3% of the re-sale price on every rehab project we completed (30+ properties/60+ transactions over 4 years), I came out way ahead.
