Go crazy, one year we made cards for a Halloween party with things on them like "do the chicken dance, make an orgasm noise, take a shot, give someone a hickie" and we shuffled them up and handed them out at the door. the throughout the night you could give the card you were given to anyone at the party and they had to do whatever it said on it right then and there no matter where we were (you can also just put all the cards in a hat and make people draw them throughout the night since you're the birthday boy).

This is a conservative buy-and-hold that fit with a lot of investors' strategies.  

There's a legal triplex I'm looking at that would cash flow with my financing, market rents and expenses, BUT it's priced at or above market with at least $25K in renovations conservatively.

I'm late to the party, but I just wanted to say congratulations!
