Every meeting has some kernels that can be helpful. 

If you go back to work as self employed, there are some NonQM programs out there that can do a cash out refi after just 1 year of bank statements or P&L. 

Ask them if they'd mind sharing their experience with you.. if they'd recommend the area or not, and lastly if they could maybe send you a P/L sheet to see their income, expenses etc.You might run into some hosts that aren't responsive or any help, but it just takes a few people to share insight to get a good idea of the market you're dealing with.

Would you help is wedding coordinating/planning or just rent the space out?
