I would like to set up a call/video conference every other week and have a private Facebook group that we post stuff too in between the bi-weekly calls.

You can listen to all the quarterly conference calls of a REIT, read all the quarterly and annual reports, and you'll still have the smallest fraction of an idea as to what's going on when compared to what's happening in your own portfolio of directly-owned properties.MG

Door knocking, driving for dollars, direct mail, creating a thought leadership platform and a landing page, "we buy houses" flyers, bandit signs, etc., calling rental listings on Zillow, Craigslist, etc., wholesalers, meetup groups (either attending or creating your own).

Conference call your attorney and CPA....

All of this has happened within 5 months and because of the great insight and leadership of B.P.

As far as the conference goes, I learned a lot from the 3 day Rich Dad workshop when I was getting started.

I was thinking of making the 1st floor conference room available on an appointment basis to the (probable) 7 separate tenants on the top floor, that way they could meet with an elderly client on the 1st floor.

After speaking with well seasoned developers/architects/construction companies here are the initial building efficiency plug figures at a high level analysis that I will be using.Office : 90% lsfHotel mid & high rise: 80% lsfGround level Retail: 95% lsf Conference Center: 70% lsfApartment Garden: 87% lsfApartment Mid-Rise: 86% lsfApartment High-Rise: 85% lsfStudent Housing: 84% lsf

Looks like they want to sign members up and sell them conference tickets. lol.

We fully renovate each property.I would recommend you visit the Omaha REIA group the third Monday of the month at the Westside Community Conference Center S 108th St at 6:30.
