Ideally, I’d be buying and selling and potentially managing properties as a job, and be working the gardens and hobby farming, potentially attending farmers markets on weekends (we both love to create things).

At least one of the coach's calls I did attend the, Rick Boyd, spent the whole trying to comp one property for a beginning student.

However, most people attending the event are less than college educated and have lower income.

From my experience, attending local meetups, lending-specific events, and networking with experienced investors can open doors.

It's highly unlikely to go that low again in your lifetime. would take another black swan event of monumental proportions.. 

Statistically, I would bet that many of these properties could be at risk from a similar event before the reconstruction could even be completed.What is the new premium on a $5-10-20M insurance policy and how could it ever be recuperated during the life of the policy or length of the average 30 year loan? 

Attend the local and regional Real Estate meetups.

But yo have to pay your dues first by connecting, attending and networking.My 2 cents,Mike

Most affordable developers will pay more for a given piece of property but will want to lock it up for two years under a financing contingency so that they can go through two rounds in the event their project doesn’t get awarded on their first round.
