While this meetup idea comes to fruition, would love to pick your brain about the Kingston area as I get fluent with it from a RE perspective. 

And you do not need a penny to start REI - many people's first investment came to fruition because of friends, family, or even partners.

Now it's time to see whether I can bring some of them to fruition. 

@John Geldert - has this come to fruition yet? 

They are 2 and 9 months so have time before any of that comes into fruition. 

Some of us in the industry are fighting to help with that for the limited partner, and hopefully that comes to fruition in the near future.  

I hope to hold as a LTR and believe in the area long-term.Some decisions will have to be made when this whole thing finally comes to fruition, especially regarding interest rates, insurance, assessments, etc, but hope to hold!

Pretty much a boneheaded undertaking, I see a few things coming to fruition out of just diving in. 

It's unfortunate because the location of the neighborhood possesses some promising fundamentals that likely won't come to fruition for a very long time. 

The great news is I have the time, knowledge, resources, and critical thinking skills to bring these projects to fruition.
