Now, that meetup is in South County, on the MO side, but brings in folks from Belleville, Fairview, Collinsville, Cahokia, and all over the St Louis area.Now, there is a monthly GRID meetup in Edwardsville that brings in folks from the metro-east, as well.Generally, going to any real estate meetups in the St Louis area will find you someone who also invests in Belleville.I also invest in Cahokia, John.

All that being said I don't know about if a salt hot tub is better per se, I know it's better for your skin and I'd say perhaps if you're in a very health conscious area like Joshua Tree, some folks might be attracted to the idea of a salt water hot tub.

Where do folks find MTR?

PS before the hedge funds jumped in about 2011 to 2012 I was an activce courthouse buyer in Henry county and a few of the counties on the north side of Atl metro so been to many of the  auctions having them all on one day is a cluster .. you have multiple criers crying sales simultainously it can be hard to follow but you can also squeeze out one that folks missed.. we did quite well until the hedge funds knocked us little guys out of the area..

Additionally, no investor has received an escalation - which is good for your investment and if you look at some of the rates of returns (some folks are into their builds roughly 60-70k out of pocket, and have over $150k equity - amazing return over most investments) - even though it took longer than any of us expected - there is a lot of positive to talk about. 

I have attended local meetups so that I can have a handful of experienced folks who have resources to share.  

Im an investor and agent in Phoenix who's helped a handful of folks with 1031 transactions.

Get those young healthcare professionals butts in seats for an "informal first-time homebuyer Q&A" with you and a local lender that has some FTHB goodies (and maybe you offer some healthcare professional goodies, like paying for a home warranty plus a $1k credit towards closing costs - only for folks attending your Q&A).

If these folks owned their own home prior, I would probably take that as them having better credit at that time even without a credit report to support it. 

So, I floated the idea here on BiggerPockets to see what more experienced folks would have to say about it.
