Bob thanks for the invite.

Only those who respond favorably to your questions would then get an invite to an individualized showing. 

vacant homes do get targeted for break ins, so that socks but just he mindful of things like a "for rent" signs, no lighting, etc could look like open invitations for this sort of thing. 

They sound kind of scammy like "Make $20K a month".In fact I think I called a similar sign about a year ago and when I got the call back it was for an invitation to a seminar for Noveau Riche.

I would not bring the screens back until they invited you. 

Atwater in the Park is a great place to go for design ideas because they kept so much of the original church feel but still made it hip and inviting.

I just sent you an invitation to connect.

And that learning investing in a tougher atmosphere would develop skills to a higher level?

Recently however, I was invited to a REInvestorGroup meeting by a friend and attended as a guest.  

Joe is definitely on the move and probably has some wisdom to impart, i would shoot him a linkedin invite and see what he says.
