I will try to accommodate as many peoples schedules and thoughts as much as possible to make it a meaningful meetup.Thanks!!

My search for free and meaningful education lead me to bigger pockets.

I raise money in the capital markets to fund my deals because it is obvious that large banks no longer serve a meaningful purpose aside from acting as a servicing agent for gov-mint guaranteed debt.

OTOH if you have money and not so much time you can buy a list that's already extracted and sorted based on your specific criteria, write some letters, and hand it all over to a direct mail company to send out the letters.

I started my own business while I was in college, it helps to make college more meaningful if you are in the field doing business while in business school.

A survey today would likely identify a meaningful population of folks forced into renting property as they move to find work following job loss. 

In my city, I look at those ads, extract the addresses in zip codes I like, and send them letters - the more unique the appearance the better so they will stand out from other form letters.

When you extract every bit of equity you're already selling the house.

Student housing in Boulder is tough to find because they are squeezing more and more kids into that campus, but the lack of any ability to build in a meaningful way means that student housing is VERY expensive.  

Their main skill isn't actually real estate investing - it's extracting money from your wallet and putting it in theirs.
