The conference was the first of it's type I've attended...

@James Wise you're right about California's bad leadership. 

Quote from @Victor Patel: I have went to many real estate and franchise conferences over the last 30 years. 

@Leslie L Meneus, I forgot to mention the "in-between" conferences.  

With a few tweaks to the management structure, and with new leadership, I figure we can greatly increase the revenue.

I put the odds at 97% an investor does very well, 2% that through no fault of Praxis' the housing market and/or the economy enter a tail-spin due to inept political leadership at the highest levels, and 1% that Brian is the biggest fraud ever to fool me. 

Network in person, see if they have a publication where you can post your deals and what you are looking for, and if there is a larger annual conference for investors locally consider getting a vendor table to talk about your business and what you are looking for.

If this seems like an avenue you're interested in there's a PassivePockets conference in Columbus this May, it can be hard to find syndication conferences that is geared toward LPs (the passive investors) aren't actually just a sales funnel for one particular group 3.

A contact of mine has been thriving with STR investments in suburban Chicago, targeting guests visiting for conferences.

He's great".I recently went to a conference (that fortunately was free) where a really famous name in the flip space talked for an hour about how important relationships and authenticity are in the real estate business.
