When do you have time to meet up for a cup of coffee/tea and discuss real estate?

Tea (actual) garden- ginger, tumeric, sorrel, chaya, moringa, etc.

Coffee shops where coffee is called something other than coffeeTrader Joe'sWhole FoodsLots of cycling and/or bike lanesBig/obnoxious glasses (non-prescription in many cases)Wine and tea shops or barsiPhones and thrift clothesFacial hair (even if it's splotchy...maybe preferable)Slightly pornographic art

In rare situations that can be as simple as slapping some paint and flooring down, but more often now it means developing land, subdividing lots, scrape and build, etc.If that's not your cup of tea, that's okay; the stock market is perfect for passive investors, and returns are quite good.
