That Mexican joint looks like it has been there for a couple decades and it appears they have 3 catering vans.

Food for thought.

It has been rated sixth in historical preservation, second best kids museum in the country and second best food festival. more sunny days than practically any city, and if you like that "old time community feel," how about a city park that has has kiddie rides for a quarter?

claiming anyone is making a choice between eating and paying tax is laughable at best (especially considering generous state food subsidy programs).less laughable than before as we seem to have more and more vindictive political types that think in these "get even with them" ways.

It’s not up to me to judge whether your customer’s criteria is the best option for them.I do feel like you could be missing out on the opportunity to increase your inventory and your client base by also catering to those investors that are willing to take more risk for the chance at much larger returns on their investment and %9 YOY price increases in some of these gentrifying neighborhoods that have a lot of distressed property.It would be like an investment advisor buying small cap stocks for their client rather than bonds, because their client is willing to take on more risk.

This includes our primary home mortgage, food, gas, car expense, home bills, cell phones, restaurant budget, entertainment....

Also Mike pays a lot of money to cater his meetings, so that probably brings in more people.  

Just food for thought ?

Thanks again Food for thought:Lots of people think the IE is the place to be since the houses are less expensive than OC.

I also am an investor so I know the industry very well, anything I can do to help let me know.Wholesaling is very competitive in this market you should probably visit a few of the local clubs in the area like ACRE & REIA maybe you can partner with a experienced wholesaler.Also I am going to be holding a local get together coming up on January 19th for BP members and any other investors who would like to come I have been posting the updates on this thread:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/157517-pittsburgh-bp-meetingI have a few sponsors so it will be a nice setup with free food!
