Also, curious, what research services do you provide to clients?

Got a call from attorney friend, (she does family law), says she has clients who need to sell, guessing due to divorce.

I just started a blog which is helping me to gather my thoughts and plan my next steps.

Him and his wife have been surviving off the proceeds of it, has gathered some income, but (the main challenge currently) he's a Depression era person who's seeking "secure" investment strategies.

We get a lot of transfers where investors want to move properties from one management company to ours, but I do not recall ever having one of their clients want to transfer so I would take that as a definite positive.

I think from what I've gather, unless I can find someone(s) who I trust to somewhat "crowd-source" a deal, there are better ways to invest.I think my best bet is to find to find a deal and use my money as deposit for the deal.

With the system I use, I can get the calls forwarded to my cell phone, it rings with the number I have so I know it is a client calling and make it priority to pick it up.

However; if you are a potential client, and make it understood what type of property you are looking for, the area, etc.

And bring your business cards to distribute to the newbies who will be gathered there, if you are so inclined.

What type of gathering could you plan?
