I also run a local REI group that has over 400 members and we provide them with free education, I don't allow any gurus or sales at the events it is for education and networking only it is the last Weds. of every month.

After that, we cash flowed paying for all of our big expenses... cars, birth of our two daughters (home births at $7K each), tuition for both of our Nursing School tuition, wedding / honeymoon, big tax bill we had this year etc. 

@Mihir BhimarajuMy wife and I do the same thing with our house that is just outside of Austin and close to wedding venues, the river and so forth.  

I'm going to be having lunch with the broker this Wed and I'll report back on if we could work out an arrangement.

My wife and I just signed initial contract on our first property on Wed here in IL.My oldest son (23) will be graduating from Iowa State next Spring and has plans to move to Minneapolis area for work (Aerospace Engineering) and his church is planting a new college church there soon, and he also has friends and former college buddies in Minneapolis area and 2 current roommates who have expressed interested in moving with him.My thought was...why should the 3 of them pay rent on a house and maybe he should look into buying a 3BR house or townhome that might need a little work and then his roommates pay their rent to him for paying on the mortgage.  

Thanks much appreciated, i will be attending the next webinar on wed, might be a silent observer as it will be the 1st time.

If there a big game, party, wedding, kid's birthdays, pretty much anything you want to do- you bet it will land on drill weekend!

If all goes well then purchase my second investment property June 2018 (Giving myself a 6 month time in between to flip two deals. 2019 have 4 flips under my belt2020 go full-time real estate investorAnd a future investment that I would like to eventually have is my very own wedding venue or event space if you will. 

I try to make it to @James Wachob's 7:30 Coffee with Investors every weds at City and State.  

The sellers asked to move the date to the 21st due to a wedding for a family member they are attending.
