The days of a REIA are numbered, sadly though, people think they are the key to the guru who has the magic Blue or Red pill to ail their thirst for real estate knowledge.

Sadly, he may not even show up to dinner.Get a unit and repeat and also find a W2 that you want to do, until you don't.

And I'm sad you can't attend!!!

Sadly he passed , left me a house that I plan to do Airbnb with.

UPDATE: thanks for all the responses I took the recommendation and made a Facebook listing and a lot of friends and family have shared it and I've had a couple people interested one had a pet sadly(We are Pet free currently but I asked her if she would like a follow up if we decide to allow pets in the future) and the other ironically hasn't responded but in my initial response I did ask if they looked at my full listing on Zillow so maybe they did and realized they didn't meet one of my qualifying standards.

sad but a lot of alternatives are coming out

All comments and insight is welcome, even if it's me eating the cost (sad face). 

Avoid people with a sad story.You can hire somebody to help you find tenant.

@Andrew Zannotti  sad it best.   

@Nicole HeasleyNo sadly I did not.
