Do you ever go to the Monday night meetings at Hibachi grill or Wednesday IHOP round table meeting in Tampa?

They use tables which tend to be really clean.

You are marketing to find motivated sellers (just like a wholesaler), then bringing a buyer to the table (just like a wholesaler).  

Could you, say, fund kitchen table closings? 

We were listening in to some of the hard closes at the registration tables.

Then he tells me about the major land development he is doing in Brazil so I now thank God I listen to BP podcast because it gave me the confidence not run from the table because I am sooooo out of my league.

(i.e. people with money) You still have leverage to bring to the table, it might not be so much as to be able to split deals with a great return, but if you were able to start and make 3000-5000k for bringing in a lead that turns into a deal it would definitely be a start and help you get things moving faster, not to mention learning some valuable things about finding leads. 

These two sections are tables of different types of signs. 

More generally, I just want to have a few more options on the table and multiple income streams by then.Ideally, I would love to my first property to be a 2-4 unit multi-family in SW Chicago or suburbs (Bridgeport, McKinley Park, possibly Oak Park -- somewhere with public transit and preferably under 7 miles to downtown).

Also, the mountains go to the ocean.
