I did the same thing years back in Decatur, GA.

I will be there, although can not make to this Nov. meeting.If you are in the KC area on the 10th of December, join us at the MAREI meeting at the Double Tree in Overland Park.

I am in an interesting situation where I am in need of money to finish renovations on my primary residence.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Thanks in advance!

Quote from @Ariel Nixon: I recently purchased a triplex in Buffalo, NY.

I manage commercial units in a 9 story Buckhead residential building off of Pharr Road and they allow rentals but the building is older and you will find a correlation in rental restrictions and newer properties. 

Plus, you do also put yourself in a position that makes you more liable for a lawsuit if you self manage.  

Suppose you have $46,000 mortgage at 8% interest on restaurant, $22,900 SBA loan, $3,900 at 1.75% interest on a microloan, $23,00 on temporary 0% interest credit cards all for the same business totaling $95,000 in debt. 

Egress windows are big enough so someone can climb out and there needs to be a ladder up in the window well.
