    Twin Cities MN Meetup

    MEETUPS 
    Could I recommend starting a little earlier? Say 3 or 4? That way we can talk (and more importantly, listen) before the crowd hits and it gets really loud. Of course if things start getting good, it will also give us more time to party before they kick us out at closing time!

    Haha - I can't wait to send your quote to my 'Red Sox Nation' friends Vig! Mystic Lake is pretty close to me. My kid plays hockey over there a lot against Prior Lake. Let me know if I can help set things up at all.

    @smartman - Be careful on these. In many cities you have to get these buildings rezoned for multifamily - which can be a long and arduous process - not to mention expensive in potential legal fees. In Minneapolis where I am you better have a fantastic deal on a SF house if you want to make it...

    So this tells me it is best to buy apartment buildings, improve them, raise the rents, and then get out? Lather, rinse, repeat.

    Steve, Have you bought any buildings out of state? If so, how much more difficult is it? Thanks for doing this.

    The biggest lie that you believed for most of your life?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    From renters: "Check is in the mail" or "I have no idea how it broke" From girls: "That is my real phone number" From Parents to me in High School: "You don't want to date a slutty girl, you want a really nice one" From Politicians (both parties) - pretty much anything that comes out of...

    Count me in. Although I'm a transplant and a hated Yankees fan. Hope that doesn't eliminate me? I think we should reschedule if Vigilante has a conflict. It sure would be great to have him there.

    One Man Shop?

    If you want to work with the elderly, buy their house. They may very well have the loan paid off, need money for medical expenses, don't have the energy to fix it up, and you won't have to worry about all the regulations surrounding their care. Don't mean to sound harsh but you are actually...

    Why Do You Want the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    As a child of the 80's I love this! Maybe what we can also do is cheer people up by posting a crappy time in your life and what you did to get out of it. One thing that keeps me motivated is to think about people who have it so much worse than me, and yet they keep on working for their own...

    Why Do You Want the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    Ok I am getting depressed reading some of the posts on this forum now. Can I ask a favor: STOP IT! Enough of your problems. I don't want to sound harsh, but this forum is supposed to be about opportunity, not despair. If you are having problems, think about it this way: Everyone who is...

    Ahhh got it. That would make sense. A lot of my slowlane buddies do that tough mudder thing, and I can definitely see that fit, military image. Sorry about that.

    This was totally my first reaction. It seems like you are after people's wallets right away - 'sign up now and I'll tell you about it later' Redshep - have you ever been in the military? There are a lot of people in shape in the military, but you would be surprised at how many are REALLY...

    Mastermind Groups Forming

    MEETUPS 
    I haven't ever been in a mastermind group, but I have been in groups with a lot of dumbas*ses. I fit in pretty well there. This would be great. Speaking as a dumba*s, would it be possible to form two groups for people - one week meet with similar interests and one week with the out of the box...

    Why, exactly, do I live in Minnesota?

    INTRO 
    I'm trying to figure out why anyone lives in this hellish state. I live down in the twin cities. My wife grew up here and she's ready to move. Of course her parents are now snowbirds and spend winters in Scottsdale. I grew up on the East Coast and thought that was cold. Well I'm here to...
