I used Zelle yesterday to pay a buddy for dinner.

It is like going out to the restaurant for dinner versus cooking at home.

Last night at dinner he mentioned that the average cost per unit right now is about $150,000 for new build.

I would guess river/creek/stream front properties - where one can legitimately catch dinner off the porch - are 1 in 200 or 300 properties in the Smokies.There sometimes are some really interesting places that come for sale. 

He called us at dinner in Rome and let us know we got the propertyWent down to the last $100 bid to $9,000 to win. 

I've driven past Michigan City a hundred times but dropped in one November for dinner on the way to Chicago. 

Last allegation he burned his dinner and they called the police and reported him for cooking meth which I know isn't happening. 

Depends on your goals and objectives.In the beginning, when I self-managed my SFR rentals, I would take calls until 10 pm (on occasion but odd how it happens at the worst time - e.g. pipe burst in rental as I was preparing valentine's dinner for my wife).Now, with over 1000+ units, there are 3 levels of managers/organization to handle tenant issues. 

I consider the expense for this dinner to be a legitimate business deduction.

We offer free meetings, training and dinner!
