Maybe have a BBQ Party every couple of months.Invite people you know and those you have just met.On the buy day for the food, text them to see if they are going to be there or not.Don't talk business, just have fun.Just make sure everyone has a seat available in the shade--that Texas sun can get hot.Maybe get a couple of friends to be grill masters.Talk to your tax expert to see if you can deduct this (or not).Work at expanding the number of new people every BBQ and in a few years you will have a much bigger circle of friends.The trick is to invite people who share your passion for real estate vs just your buddies.You can make it a family invite where the can bring their kids, meaning an afternoon party vs an all night booze binge (remember this is business).https://www.youtube.com/watch?

All helpful food for thought!

Fleas, window screens trashed by cats, blinds trashed by dogs and cats, door frames chewed by dogs, carpet and lower walls saturated/sprayed by urine, carpet shredded by cat, wood window sills scratched by cats, edge of butcher block counters scratched by a large dog's paws as he liked to check out the food on the counter, oh, and the worse--cat up the chimney, damper wrecked!

Were the appraiser's breakfast foods yummy this morning, or kind of meh?

Just food for thought, but interesting idea. 

Not sure where you got that formula, but anyway....Positive cash flow is what you use after all payments for the business are made, to run your business, pay taxes, acquire licenses, buy toys, food,certificates of deposit, etc.

If this is a conventional loan you'll probably have to move up the food chain a few notches.

Without subsidies to the oil industry, it would not only cost you 4x the cost to commute to work, but you'd also pay higher prices for just about everything, including the food on your table, which is grown and packaged with petroleum products.  

Please RSVP by Friday afternoon so we can get a good count for food and drink.
