We are on the mainland this weekend for a friend's wedding, and as we drove through Anacortes this morning we talked seriously about making Anacortes part of our farm area.

@Presh DineshkumarMost of the Plus and Pro membership "perks" are very U.S.A. focussed - even the on-line calculators - and have less practical value to Canadians ... even those unfortunate enough to be stuck in the GTA ;-)Some Plus/Pro features .. such as the search members by zip or postal code now work (sort of) for Canadians (polite nagging can pay off ).If you are a flipper, or offer a real estate related service (architect, trade, etc), then the ability to post advertisements to the Real Estate Marketplace is a benefit.I upgraded to a Pro membership early on to support the site and its growth as I found it to be a credible venue for exchanging knowledge and making contacts with respect to real estate. 

We have a wedding next year December in Jamaica.

www.blackdiamondrei.comOther meetings that I like includeNEREIA.com in Chelmsford, which was last Wed night@Justin Silverio has a meetup in the Woburn areaI am also told Boston Wealth Builders is a good one but I've never been.

I would look at other short term venues as well.

Any way just another brainstorming thought on a Wed morning.

I got wed to a couple pesky tenant in long leases.

Anyone know how successful this venue is?

The best man at my wedding also bought a 3 flat with Brie right near Troy and Berteau and I like that area.  

We meet monthly in Baton Rouge and its a great venue to connect with other local investors.
