If you're still looking to network with people in the Quad Cities, I would recommend @Cory Gamble for property management.

I could get excited about Barnum or Westwood or even Chaffee Park (my favorite "next" place for still-affordable homes near-ish downtown).

@Alex Pirila I would start with the end in mind, which is one of my favorite of the 7 habits of highly effective people!

My favorite is "the rents are x but they could easily be getting y" I like to assume a very innocent expression and ask: "oh thats great, why aren't they doing that?"

I took a gamble and ordered a pair and a set of a new washer and dryer from Best Buy. 

My favorite of all time is the BREW.

Hi all this is Swanny,First thing listen to Podcast 238 where I was a guest and then read my all time favorite that I use today still in repositioning my 238 units presently.  

These ones just fell in my lap due to the relationships I've built over the years.My favorite option for starting out is house-hacking, which reduces your living expenses at the same time.

b) Is the reputation brand ruined worth risk gamble with business uncertainty harassment from city.c) How do I scale , dripping 1-2 RV each private lot over many cities local regulations ?

I get asked about Casino gambling all the time and while I don't see it this legislative session, those discussions will become more rigorous in the coming years.
