(Food is cooked and delivered to home, beach is a 10 minute drive).

. $99/year for a couple, replete with great information at the meetings, some of the best investors in the state heading it up, very willing to share ideas and info.I wouldn't pay for any of the expensive packages.

West Oakland is plenty popular with working professionals where school isn't as important as commute/social (food, nightlife, stuff to do). 

This isn't Government Assistance, like Food Stamps, or Medicaid. 

Keep this nugget in mind; the entire '08' crash came from the MBS investment scams being played out of labeling junk as AAA via packaging 4-60% of junk with a sprinkling of AAA kind of like a nice cream-cheese frosting on top of a big cow-pie.

I love the idea of managing my own properties (or at the very least, being nearby), given that I know how to do it and am good at it (and I am a control freak and hate entrusting my livelihood to others), but I know that I don't want to live in the same area for 20 years just so I can be close to my properties (even if that property is in Fiji and I own a dive business - I know after a year or two I'd be bored of the dive sites, bored of the food, bored of the views...)  

All in an attractive package-wink!

They just need to pay for their own beer and food :-)It's also super helpful if they can actually indicate on the event page I posed if they are coming, this way when I show up at the venue, or need to look for an alternate venue in the event of inclement weather, I know roughly speaking how many people to expect. 

I have had a package deal offered to me and after a bit of discussion the owner has offered a no money down deal.

Try giving incentive to those who drive neighborhoods for a living (mail/package carriers, etc.) or to people living in the area, social media etc. - ex: $500 for any vacant home lead we actually close on
