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.

I recently bought a home in a fairly popular area of the city.

Just make sure you are a doer who lines up financing, is ready to jump when opportunity arises and educates themselves about their market they are buying in by going to Builders meetings, Zoning meetings, and local economic development planning meetings.If this guy is finding you great properties, that's awesome.

If he is off the financial grid, you also won’t be able to collect from him if ever the need would arise.

This loan has been very popular with our more seasoned investors.

You might get real lucky with a rise in rents and break even or squeak out a little cash, but your ROE is going to be horrendous.I don't really see the point of owner financing in this case.

Well for starters there are a ton of really popular turnkey markets across the USA. 

Prices have been rising because it’s such a popular area, but I believe the trend will continue because Beacon is popular and is only getting hotter.

I know that live-in flips are a popular strategy but i am wondering if anyone has experience/advice on building a spec home, living in it for two years, and selling.
