I highly recommend you consider a Boston venue :)

Specifically I am now interested in learning more about sourcing deals outside of traditional venues (MLS, Craigslist, etc.) and securing creative forms of financing.

If anything they are getting too big and popular for their venue.

We've discussed meeting at another south side location, since the venue is small and somewhat noisy.

I'm not saying this always happens, but it does seem to happen at a higher rate than I've noticed at other acquisition venues.

Find new networking venues and the business will follow.

I just closed on another 4plex - in Richmond this time - so working on supervising rehab and leasing up the units as we speak.. along with trying to nail down the date with the venue for the Summit, and the rest of the units are going smoothly..

Is this one of the most important thing to look for or is it the neighborhood overall (crime rate, schools, venues).thanks for taking the time to read this,Juan Gago

Real estate is a large field, the information and contacts that you build through both venues will be invaluable. 

It used to be free but they just started implementing a membership fee to cover renting out venues and providing food.
