I am happy to host and think we could all really benefit.  

Joan Brown, we have hosted smaller events like that in the past for members and we could definitely set up more in the future if you find more value in that type of event.

This year, I plan to host at least 2 networking events. 

I have no experience with this and hoping some of you can share your experiences and knowledge with regard to Hosting and Co-Hosting a property Full Time. 

and spending many hours talking with "hosts," and sharing my ideas, and background experience (business, RE, design, build, remod, STR stays, etc.) and secondly (after location) you would need to have the right floorplan, or rent the entire abode out (in your absence) and for a multi- room arrangement (vs. the entire space) I would say a single level, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath (at minimum) to make any real money with AB&B, or VRBO, etc. as a STR.

@David Poulsen  As I learned quickly after posting this in the forum, @Ariel Vincent introduced me to @Sean Walton who organizes with a monthly meetup the 1st Wednesday of each month with @Eduardo Zepeda.Sean and Eduardo are great hosts and the meetup last week was a lot of fun. 

@John Krauklis, Denver has a monthly meetup, hosted by @Anson Young and @Dan Mackin .

He advertised here on BP and hosted the first one in his living room just to gauge interest.

We host a local meet up once a month (Boston Real Estate Connection). 

There are a whole host of reasons that turn key companies can do a rehab for far less than an individual that doesn't do this professionally.
