I am contemplating having professionals (investors, property managers, lenders etc.) attend meetings to talk about a specific topic that would be helpful and informative for investors. If I do it will be purely educational, and without a "pitch". if you have an opinion on this, that you would like to share, let me know.

Thank you to everyone who attended our January meetup. We meet every third Wednesday of the month at Round Table Pizza in Lake Forest. I will communicate with everyone via email if there are ever any changes. If you have not given me your email, but would like to stay informed, please send it to me.
Our meetings are very simple. We start with short introductions/questions and then use the rest of the time to network.
Also, I'll be attending OCREI's next meeting this Thursday the 12th. Daren Bloomquist of RealtyTrac will be speaking about the market etc. More info. @ www.OCREIA.com

Post: Newly acquired property, do i charge a new pet deposit?

A client of mine just purchased a building and the previous owner did not charge pet fees. Three of the four units have small dogs, and my client asked them all to sign new leases that included pet fees. This also ensured that the contracts included everything that my client wanted.
The tenants do not have to sign new leases, but most won't have a problem with it. If they can see that you care about maintaining the building and being attentive to any issues that come up they will likely not have a problem with it.

Yes, the deposits as well as prorated rent (if necessary) should have been transferred to you through escrow.

Post: Thoughts on a realtor/contractor asking for a retainer?

I suspect he may have been burned in the past by an out of state investor claiming to be serious about buying.
It seems like a fair deal to me. You can go out and find someone else to perform that same work without a retainer, but having someone that you trust fully working for you is incredibly valuable.
