I can't speak to meeting in Mount Vernon, but if we want to meet in Anacortes I can offer the conference room of my branch.

I didn't join the inner circle, but enjoyed the conferences, course materials, and networking.I've since started a free commercial real estate investing club where we co-GP on deals as joint venture partners because I found there's a ton of paid education out there, but people still aren't doing deals.

@Alex Nelson   Look on meetup for Roddy Round Up of DFW Real Estate Investment ExpertsNormally meets monthly often on Monday's..but subject to bumping at Addison Conference Center. 

Which are the best conferences to attend if I am looking for exposure to various operators (in need of capital)?

Be on the lookout for the same thing to happen to Stockton in another decade as long as the city's leadership stays on track and doesn't run itself into a ditch like it did the previous two decades.Eventually Sacramento will get pricey too, and if Stockton pulls off their Open Window Project and turns around the downtown scene, it'll be the last spot in Northern California for affordable housing that Bay Area millennials will be willing to stomach.

Excellent Conference.

I'm looking to start a monthly or biweekly conference call on learning the note business.If anyone is interested please let me know.Stephen

I feel like it's a shell game or three-card monte that the city/county/state leadership is playing-"look over here at the 'housing crisis' not at policies that have actually exacerbated the problem"I totally agree in the short term that rents have softened (although I just finished a rehab in one of my rentals and went for $1,000/mo to $1,495 so I'm pretty happy there!!)
