The idea came up last night at dinner. 

Hey @Christopher Burgos Thanks for the unintentional dinner inspiration...I was trying to figure it out, and you nailed it!

Quote from @JD Martin: I've walked a house where dinner was still on the table and the refrigerator still had all the groceries in it.

I was at a business dinner in NYC mid 2017 with a few Wall St guys and they said they would plow their retirement funds into Overstock (Beyond).Similar concept, changed from e-commerce to crypto exchange.They are still around and price is at what is was in 2017 although it did 10x at one point during crypto moon in 2021.So I guess it is possible but highly unlikely IMO

Now Intel just as we all know is melting down ( Sorry Columbus Ohio)  And she is now at Alterra and moved up the corporate ladder ( way up) But back to working pretty long hours and having to commute to silicon Valley from PDX and they dont have the Intel shuttle anymore.. ( for those that dont know what that is Intel had their own airline )  it Flew out of HIllsboro so you just showed up a few minutes before the flight hopped on and off to San Jose you went.. could do meetings in one day and be home for dinner.

I made this same mistake when I went to buy "Sweet" Corn for the dinner I threw last time I was there.  5 ears for $10. 

My wife and I had dinner just last night with a fund rep and we discussed this very thing.

Shall we get a table for dinner or just go to a bar? 

one thing that's negative from Out of state investing is that we as landlord never grow up. we don't develop business channel, we don't develop business skillset, and we give money to out of state realtor and out of state property management only.in term of business education, investing and creating local business locally is way preferable.I'd rather want to know much the NNN lease in san mateo in-n-out burger rather than 2/1 in indianapolis.Passive investing IMO is detrimental in long term as we almost don't gain anything from a family dinner cash flow.

my place in vegas once i am used to the heat I set it at 78 to 80  20 to 30 degree difference between inside and out side its fine. when I lived in MS for a year I had to take a jacket to dinner in the summer.. resturants were freezing cold :)  yet 90 plus outside.
