glad to confirm that I am not alone, thank you for sharing, I will look into what they are doing, to be more specific, I have been thinking tipis on decks, and 20-40' behind that, essentially a small studio apartment, with a full bathroom and kitchen, maybe a pullout sofa (in case weather events drive people out of the Tipi, that could potentially rent as a studio during the winter/not tent season too). or perhaps all tipis have a common area with kitchen and coffee station, maybe hottup... lots of possibilities.

Then from those events, ask to have 1:1 coffee or lunch with some of the top movers and shakers. 

Let me know if you want to grab a coffee.  

Pleasure introducing myself to this community and let me know if you have any plans to come to Dubai soon and we could meet up for a coffee or a call!

@Jimmy O'Connor I was not bashing your insights and references to bars and coffee shops - I thought it was informative and interesting thing I had not thought of before.

Off Market Deals Through Your Broker NetworkWhen you're actively browsing sites like Crexi, LoopNet, or Zillow, get in the habit of calling the broker on the listing, introducing yourself, and even suggesting grabbing a coffee with those who are local.

Mixed use can have big returns if you find some retail that suits your residential tenants (restaurant, retail, coffee shop...).

The issue was still not resolved and they tripped the breaker when they plugged the heater into the same outlet as their coffee maker so I went out and bought them 3 different space heaters as options that could work better for them in the space.

They're not out there because that would be one of the greatest money-making machines ever invented.  

---Now he and myself are different people, he is an absolute machine, and maybe a stronger /more dedicated investor than i am.
