Good idea, but.....I'm pretty sure that the owners just want to sell and not do anything like that.Part of why it's cheap.

Do you have any recommendations for creative event ideas or speakers?

I also like the idea of a longer mortgage term because it shields you from interest rate and inflation risk for a longer time, and of course you can always pay down your principal faster if you'd like, so I'd look for a 30-yr fixed.  

@Jaysen Medhurst I believe the idea is that if you leave the investment in a Qualified Opportunity Fund for 10 Years.

No leaking yet but have no idea when/if those things will go.All right, Bigger Pockets folks -- would love your thoughts on this.

Do you have an idea of cost? 

I've been working with a firm that offers legal services to real estate investors for close to a year now and have slowly become a convert to the idea of real estate, looking to dive in personally and build up a portfolio over the next several years (I am living in northern Minnesota.)Other than second-hand experience I don't know anything about real estate.

If I'm able to get an idea of what you're looking for I'll start sending you relevant options. 

Hi, I wanted know are there any places that groups meet to exchange ideas with new comers to the real estate business in the Atlanta area ?

My name is Andres and I am new to both this community as well as to the idea of Real Estate Investing.
