We are having our first business dinner to discuss our goals and also have scheduled a meeting with attorney to discuss article of organization and set up next week.  

The stager is responsible for putting the cherry on top of that dream:When your stager is done:Are you able to picture hosting holiday dinners at your house?

I'd recommend not putting them in the kitchen itself as they are more likely to go off when someone burns their dinner and then annoy the tenant. 

Find you a local investor and ask if you can take them out to dinner or lunch and ask them how you can bring value to their business.

All kinds of delicious questions to ask. 

Like when the Rams play or when it's 5:00 PM and they're eating dinner?

They all self entertained but it was nice to put on a show for them to watch as we cooked dinner or as we packed up the house to leave.

With 500k on hands it's easy to make decision, 500 bucks a month is only equal to 5 dinner in average restaurant these days

they have a condo in Hawaii that is never used . we use it two times a year for the last 18 years for no cost but I treat for nice dinners of course..

You will have the best shot of doing a deal if you can sit eye to eye with the seller over coffee.I would begin a direct mail campaign that is hand written and offer to buy them dinner to discuss the property.
