That's exactly what my husband and I were just discussing during dinner.

@Darren Budahn it's funny that mention Elbow room, we're going to grab a celebratory dinner this weekend and I think we may actual go there to eat.  

Ask yourself this; would you like your "tenant" to come knocking on your door during a Easter or Christmas dinner to tell you they're toilet is backed up, heater isn't working, hot water doesn't come, burner on stove is out, etc?

Invite couple of them out to drinks, dinner, etc. and pick their brain for all the free (except price of drinks, steak, etc.) information they will provide.

From your experience, are most prospective tenants willing to see the property after dinner time?

Timelines and dollar amounts.Here's a great way to attract the people in your list...at a party, or dinner, or anything casual where you can start a conversation about retirement. 

@Chris Youssi It seems your the local investor that needs to be taken out to dinner lol 500+ properties I want to be like you when I grow up!

Whenever my company closes deals, me and my business partner go celebrate it over a fancy dinner.

It is sunday and time for a family dinner.

I still fly out once a quarter because I am a little bit of a control freak and I like to take them out to dinner after the projects for that quarter are complete as a thank you and develop both a personal professional relationship with them.The big thing I want to make sure is that they know I am not taking advantage of them and what they are doing for me is greatly appreciated and that as long as they help me grow I will do everything I can to help them grow as well.
