Currently, TREIA North subgroup meets at Tribeca Tavern, TREIA South and TREIA West subgroups at (different) Golden Corrals, and the main meeting is at the Hilton (snacks provided).

Also ask your PM company to leave out coffee, snacks, and tea for guests. 

@Mike D'Arrigo , I've only bought some tasty BBQ in KC so far - no houses.

When I was setting the house up for rent, I got a lot of stuff at Costco- pillows, sheets and towels, snacks and wine for the welcome basket, paper goods, cleaning supplies, etc.

Technically no different than handing a child a snack, but lots of people don't see it that way.  

When I do these I usually bring some type of snack so they stick around long enough to hear my presentation.

Drop off some Panera bread pastries…we underestimate how much $20 worth of tasty treats will get you past a gatekeeper and you might get some serious facetime with a Tampa official who has a plethora of information and authority into permitting, zoning etc.Dumpster driving - Drive around on weekday afternoons and if you see a dumpster and construction crew working on a house see if you can find the lead or foreman on the job and introduce yourself and exchange business cards… you are building your brand and your network of trades for your own investing journey and to provide for your investor clients.

Working for 45-minute stretches (give or take) instead of for hours on end will ultimately allow you to clear your mind, grab an occasional snack or meal, and stay energized to meet your goals.Social Media DistractionsThough it may feel like staying plugged into our social media accounts is a necessary part of our jobs, the constant alerts and updates just drain our time and energy.

The other 3 units were not available for viewing — they only put a lockbox on the extra tasty crispy burned one, so I just looked in the windows.

Snacks & drinks on hand to welcome them/leave in the room.
