Depending on what year of the NEC the City follows it could mean full AFCI/GFCI and tamper resistant outlets.  

You can also look at websites/local news outlets for articles on revitalization programs, new developments, job reports, political changes to the RE space, or just anything that may affect your potential investing target areas. 

Since I don't use social media personally (and my VA handles all my business posting), this is literally like my facebook.

We need to stay off social media (unless we're marketing), turn off the TV, read educational books, work hard and efficient, have integrity.

I have some general ideas about its direction:- Purely Networking and sharing ideas, not a space to pitch at people like some other events- Relaxed environment - Free meetings - Some type of media integration- The goal is to connect good, high-quality people - Meet once a month for several hours - The group would not act as a business as some other RE groups or meetups (no memberships, paid classes, etc)If this is something you would be interested in and feel that there is a need for this please let me know and give me feedback! 

I tend to avoid them because section 8 inspections can be a pain (eg: they will fail you if the tenant has torn a screen window, or if outlets are installed in the wrong orientation) and there is extra paperwork involved to get set up or raise rents.On the plus side, you get guaranteed partial rent from the government.  

You could see if any of your friend on social media know anyone.  

The property was built in 1750 and stone walls in the basement need reappointing (they're falling down), rotted wood beams need support, rotting floors, damage ceilings, majority of the outlets are ungrounded, etc.

Regarding political uncertainty there is always going to be political uncertainty, although the media seems to hype it up more sometimes versus other times.
