Tip though, it’s 6 months to closing.

Any suggestions on what type of paint and tips when exposing brick walls in the basement?

Believe me, this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of the expenditures you will put out for improvements and maintenance.

Any tips would be great.

Network at RE meetups and get to know others who do what you want to do, get tips and tricks from them and learn about the mistakes they have made.

I really appreciate your insight and tips.

Hey Matthew,I started my meetup in Central Connecticut about six months ago and here are a few tips I have:* Host your meetup at a location that is convenient for the majority of people.* Create an email campaign with a service such as MailChimp to allow attendees to get automatically reminded of your meetup. 

You tip your hand by saying "I am weak" when you offer them money. 

Alternatively, a lot of people in that general area use DISH for internet, but you have to purchase a cable package with it (not worth it).  

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.
