Just because you've seen that doesn't mean it applies in the masses.

For example, Worcester MA has the largest stock of multis in all of Mass. 30-40% of the stock of houses are multis and the population is growing dramatically.Additionally, Manchester NH is the city in NH with the largest stock of multis right next door.

Again, DEPRESSION, there's bread-lines, mass unemployment, homeless camps in every city, where are you getting Private $, and why are they gonna hand it to you?

BUT with the inexperienced being turned loose en mass, thinking that they just discovered the Holy Grail, it has all the makings of some huge failures.  

I am trying to really educate the masses and give everyone a chance at success.

Now that bitcoins are being traded in vast ammounts and are mostly "invisible" I see it reaching the critical mass threshold where everyone will start using them as an accepted form of currancy.

I've got cards and while I'm not conducting a mass campaign to thousands of homeowners on a list (baby steps), I'm sending postcards to about 20 homeowners of boarded up/abandoned homes I found while walking around Brooklyn.Very open to Networking, so if you know of any clubs/groups in NYC or would like to talk/connect to see how we could possibly help one another, send me a message!

You are in a relatively unique position that could allow you to get to critical mass in REI within several years if make good (great) moves now.

Like "May 1-take Joe to lunch" or "email all buyers every 60 days" with a mass email that doesn't look like a mass email.I know there is ACT and Goldmine as powerful contact management systems.

Plenty of hotels and venues to hold the event, easy flights in and out from any part of the country to Vegas, easy transportation, tons of things to see and do beyond the Summit itself, and the fact that the largest percentage of attendees will come from CA, it is local and easy enough for those masses to get their.
