Most cities have them, and if not, find the closest one to you.

It is always great to meet others of like-mind and communities like this to learn from others, and potentially aid others along the way is a great thing to find.

I also seek to add value to investors by enabling them to find and invest in great cash flow properties, while maximizing their time, as well as their profitable revenue.By joining BiggerPockets, my goal is to establish a network of professionals who can aid in my growth within the real estate realm, while also finding ways that I am able to add value to those within BiggerPockets' network who may have a need for any opportunity that I may have available. 

They will still have to special assess for the caulking but can you imagine paying for a band-aid like that? 

So far i have been focusing on the offices the closest to me since the area around me has some of the higher priced homes in the area, but im probably going to travel 30mins to some of the offices closer to the center of Tampa, Fl to see what they have to offer.

A robust farmer's market, a new artists district, several new niche employers building down on Exchange St, a micro micro brewery, a proposed $400M expansion of the Historic District to the south of 25th St, and a huge mixed-use development in the works in East Central where the old Rite Aid was.Sounds great, but it's still planet Ogden. 

Also, for economic purposes, by placing home in LLC (a business), children will be elgible for more college financial aid since the business assets for a closely held company with few employees are exempt/not counted under federal financial aid laws but are counted when it is our personal name.  

I do not want the income to flow through to my personal return because I want less income to be reported for better college financial aid for my kids.  

Again, playing from the other side...when I met with a Legal Aid Attorney on rent control matters as a tenant the name that came up as an aggressive (and possibly unethical) landlord attorney was Rosario Perry.

I suggest that you attend the meetings that fit best with who you want to meet and the topics you want to learn about, not the one closest to you.
