E.g slice of wedding cake has to be thrown out, never mind expensive steaks or seafood.I do not have a clause in my lease to address this and wonder how others handle such things.I'm sure someone has had a renters wedding dress get burnt or damaged in a dryer or something similar.

Great, informal venue to meet local investors and have casual conversations about what folks are doing.Cheers and good luck!

I stayed in a Beach House in Virginia Beach for my Nieces Wedding and was surprised that they were going for $1.2 M.  

Best of luck to you on the rest of 2016 and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!  

There are numerous apartments, a Marriott hotel, dog friendly parks, walking paths, fountains and small "lake", entertainment venues, night clubs, retail, boutiques, yoga, gyms, restaurants and personal care beauty services minutes away, There are many corporate HQ's within a few minutes drive, plus it is on the tollway and 5 minutes from 121.

I know what its like to over analyze, while i'm not pushing you to make a move in two weeks time my best advice is to study, research and of course ask questions but make sure you dont get analysis paralysis :) I would find a place you like and possibly take advantage of the awesome first time home buyer incentives and loan programs, find a nice duplex and get your feet wet in landlording and build some cashflow or possibly even just live free which would free up capital to explore all these other means of real estate investments.I am a big fan of starting out this way because it allows you to sort of dabble in so many different real estate venues.

We can even invite @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin as our main speakers :) if the response is decent, I will look into a venue and let everyone know in a day or 2. 

The Chester/Montogomery county sub-group meets the 2nd Wed of the month.Contact @Steve Babiak if interested.

The last meeting changed venues I'm not sure if that is the permanent location or not.

I just sent a 1k EM on a 160k  lot purchase last wed. for instance...
