Yes, I must meet them in person an interview them so we are on the same page. 

Hello BPers I was going to attend my first local investor event/meet up and was wondering what people normally wear to these things.

Does anyone know any type of real estate meet ups that are happening in Chicago in the month of January?

Hi Sean, With all due respect, unlikely meeting the requirements is not very useful information. 

In a tenant friendly state you have to.BTW, when you list, there's a fair housing law. you cannot deny a sec 8 if they qualify. your standards need to be the same for everyone

You have set your standards.

Reason why is because FDIC Bankers "Do Not" charge points on traditional programs like primary homes, standard investment purchase and refinance, Second home/vacation homes.Lenders, Brokers all charge points to meet their Loan officer compensation plan (commission).

Check out the CRREIA group which meets in Clifton Park for meetups.

Our logical process:1) Use Neighborhood rankings to narrow down area of city you want to invest in2) Focus on getting to know that Neighborhood(s), so you know the good & bad streets, block-by-block.3) Be patient to acquire properties on good streets that meet your buying criteria.Our rankings are done with a "bell curve" approach.

I know property managers in every state who use non-refundable application fees and it is the standard for every class of property and applicant.
