Quote from @Kevin Lorick: Hi,Wondering if anyone has information on Real Estate meets ups in Philadelphia, Delaware or Maryland.

It's all about what your comfortable with @Joe P.As @Todd Dexheimer mentions, get on a few more lists, research the sponsors you are interested in that meet your criteria. 

I’m based in California, and it seems the building department is upset about the lack of permits.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

This info comes from the Latest California Department of Real Estate Monthly communications. 

Speak with the Community Manager, or try to meet with one or more board members to gauge their attitudes on your investing ideas.Very Important:  check to see if there are any current or in-the-works special assessments. 

Even if I go by 3X applicant meets the rental criteria. 1.

A good way to do this is have it electronically signed the night before you meet with them to exchange money.

I'd let the power company know.The power company was there almost as fast as the fire department👍 

I’ve yet to meet a wholesaler who discloses their true intent.
