I think tentatively Chris and I were going to meet up after a home inspection I'm attending that runs from 11 A.M. to likely around 12/12:15 on Tuesday the 20th. (BTW anyone is welcome to meet me at that home inspection if interested in meeting the home inspector and talking shop about REI. The property being inspected was listed for 99k, but my investor has it under contract for less than that. It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. My property manager thinks she can rent it for 1,250 a month+.

I can also be available to meet with everyone in the evening at the office. 5:30 P.M. to 7 P.M. works good for you guys? It doesn't necessarily have to be at the office either. Can meet somewhere with food and beverages if preferred.

I'm flexible.

@Christopher Sarmiento

I can be free either of those nights as well. I'm leaning towards planning for 8/20 to give me time to get together a couple of other resources to attend (Property management, lender, guys experienced with doing renovations for investors, etc)

Christopher, you're in. Anyone else?

Location once we all meet will be at the KW building located at 7584 Nw 4th Blvd Gainesville FL 32607.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to put my cell,-so anyone can message me if they need it.

Since everyone is looking to start or meet with a group,-I can offer to reserve one of the conference rooms at my office. I also can reach out to one of my property managers that works with a lot of investors. 

Is there a night this week or next that would work for everyone? Maybe this upcoming Tuesday or Thursday evening??

I don't know the true statistic, but I'd estimate close to 0.5% of homes in Alachua County have had foundation issues addressed. 

Talking with my insurance agent contacts, I don't think it's even called sinkhole coverage anymore. I think the carriers that have something that will address serious settling issues refer to the coverage as catastrophic event coverage.

Are you seeing actual signs of settlement such as cracks around door and window frames, offset concrete block at a foundation etc, or are you just wanting the coverage for peace of mind?
