This can equip you with some handouts etc that provide everyday real estate terms.

It was a great way to build a lot of connections and also went to tradeshows where I met a lot of trade companies, RE lawyers, etc. 

I absolutely can't stand people who get handouts, then still find a way to complain. $1,300 a month will allow you to finance a brand new Porsche Cayman GTS, Corvette Z06, Tesla, any BMW, Mercedes, Audi you want every 6 years for the rest of your life..You can take a one week all inclusive trip to Mexico, the Bahamas etc., every single month for the rest of your life..

I'm going to set myself up with a Google Voice account while advertising and vetting and then hand out my personal cell to tenants who I've signed a lease with.

I would imagine there comes a point where certain types of areas more or less demand that you show up with your hand out, but I recently took over a building in Cicero, IL that had been run like this.

Once cracks turn up in the economy, look for:- an abrupt pivot in Fed talking points - rates will decrease precipitously- more free hand outs in the form of stimulus  (to buy votes)If you buy now (even at higher rates), you can always refinance later.

Go to your county auction and hand out your card to the buyers at the end especially the ones spending $$

And in July, we have our annual Trade Show where you can connect with a lot of different vendors.Plan on flying in on Monday or Tuesday morning - attend the Meeting to make connections Tuesday Night - there are also a few smaller networking groups that will be meeting that same day in the morning, the next day in the morning.

I see it in MA all the time entry level manufacturing being attracted to the suburbs. entry level manufacturing jobs teach basic job skills. showing up, taking direction, etc.A hand up not a  hand out for these communities. 

(plus the convenience of not finding another roommate is involved so that is why discounts are handouts but rather a mutual benefit)
