@Mary Erickson Im in the Dallas market and seller financing is extremely popular especially with lower end properties.

@Lucas Carl your response about Airbnb penalizing for this is my understanding too.My main concern is my personal liability for issues that may arise from under age drinking and of course mis management from not understanding how a home works. 

Here's the link from the "Events and Happenings" page of BiggerPockets:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/800304-peak-performance-in-real-estate-w-tyler-chesserAlong with that, one of the nation's most popular investor groups, R.E.I.A (Real Estate Investor Association) has chapters in most major US cities.

It makes so much sense that....it isnt a popular topic on Bigger Pockets? 

The amount I get down covers any costs that occasionally arise when a Tenant Buyer doesn't complete his Option agreement and moves.

Houses are one of the biggest most personal items anyone owns, I would be certain what you plan to do there are no issues with it, and no matter what anyone here tells you, only an attorney (who would be there to defend you should the issue arise) will have any skin in the game giving you the truth.

There are a lot of cash flow markets in the Midwest and Southeast but as popular as many of them are, many have stagnant or declining populations, jobs and economies.

Would also try and format the locations as close to what you have determined the most popular search term would be, so for example, in the subdirectory style, if people were typing out the full names more often for the city, instead of using 'dfw', go more for 'sellyourhousefast.com/dallas-fort-worth'.

If I were doing it, I'd pick someplace like Luigi's Pizza on Crowsnest (if the food is good and if it's a popular place).This looks good because the tables can be pulled together and most people like pizza (a plus if there is beer and wine there too).I'd ask Luigi if he minded if there was a gathering there, and I'd pick a slow time for about 90 minutes maximum, to help ensure there would be enough seating and that it would be relatively quiet inside.I'd also encourage the attendee's to order some pizza or other food or drinks (because Luigi has to make a buck too).As far as the itinerary for the meet, it could be, open discussion meet and greet, or more structured with some type of presentation.And if you have any trouble speaking Italian here's a quick tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

You'll see a good return in other markets, perhaps not as much as you might see in a major high demand City or on a single family home or multi-family.If you're investing in San Diego, I'd say that's a high demand very popular place.
