Also, would be a bonus if anyone knows of good events to go to.  

You will want to have cash reserves or access to cash in the event you have a large unexpected expense come up, such as a roof replacement, HVAC, etc.

I would point out that there is a big difference between a owner occupied client to contractor relationship as opposed to an investor/flipper one.
