It is my opinion that when the new inventory hits the market, the market will soften slightly and go back to a healthier growth rate.

Never miss an opp to buy a meal for an experienced RE investor.

You need to get the flavor of an area before making a meal of it.

I guess he'll ask for money for meals next.

So, we're looking at less than 10% of teachers who would qualify to carry firearms.Sorry, but 10% of teachers carrying guns is not going to stop a deranged gunman from killing a bunch of kids -- it will just mean that more teachers get killed in the process.Btw, as it seems you think we should spend taxpayer money to protect our kids, does that mean you'd fight for more free and subsidized school meals?

Sure, I lost some equity, but overall, I didn't "miss a meal," and am now better off than I was going into the downturn.For whatever it's worth, that was my big lesson.

I agree with Callum K. in that 529 funds can be used for textbooks, computers, probably even meal plans as long as the funds are related to education.

The seminar people take what little funds these new investors have and make it tough to get the money back.Why spend that kind of money when you can pay for a local investors meal, develop a possible long lasting relationship, and learn what is happening in your market and how deals are getting done.I am sure there are some credible trainers out there who do provide the value and are worth the fee to some.

We provide a large meal, turkey or ham and all the trimmings, on Thanksgiving to all our tenants in our 16 unit and for any neighbors, or family they want to invite.

All we ask is you purchase either a meal or just a drink.Thanks everyone for your support and following the meet ups!
