You guys hear it here first. For our 2018 MrLandlord.com National Convention we are headed back to St Louis. May, 24-26, 2018.
And here's a little of the back story behind the selection. I was actually in negotiation with a couple of hotels in an entirely different state, working out the final details of the contract, when one morning last week, I began reading this forum. I come across this discussion titled "2018" Convention. I thought, "Hmmmmmm, what is this discussion about." Lo and behold, there were several of you who were either crossing your fingers, hoping or voting for St. Louis. I then thought, "but wait, I'm about to sign a contract for another city in another state...."
Perhaps some of you have come to learn something about me over the years. If you have heard me teach for any length of time, you most likely know that one of my key business principles in working with my resident customers is to "let them play an active role in the decision making process." And that plays out in many ways during the relationship. I have discovered by employing this principle, I am able to keep many more of my residents staying with with me year after year: Well, that's not just talk folks. I apply that same business principle with MrLandlord.com as well.
So anyway, after seeing the discussion of "2018 Convention", I made a couple of phone calls and within a couple of days, we literally switched from where the Convention was 90% set to be held (which will remain a secret for now:) to St. Louis, the city with the good vibe:) For those who may have noticed, each of the last 5 years, the decision on where the Convention will be held has been made from the very feedback received from this very forum:)
Also, like years past, I would seriously encourage those of you who are considering coming, to act quickly and book your room now at the host hotel, which is the St Louis Renaissance. We have a guaranteed special Hotel Room rate of only $115 for the first 60 who call to book your room (and they always go fast). Their toll-free reservation number is 1-800-468-3571. Their hotel room rates will go up to around $189 as we get closer to the convention dates. So call now and be sure to say you are with the MrLandlord.com Convention.
Secondly, we offer a discounted rate for a special VIP Luncheon package of $79.95 for the first 40 who sign-up, which includes a full catered buffet lunch all 3 days in an exclusive VIP banquet room and a bonus VIP Audio CD from a previous conference instructor. After the first 40, the Luncheon price will increase to $99.95 per person. The hotel is actually charging us more than $100 per person (including their taxes, surcharges and gratuities) for the 3 buffet meals. So call our customer service line now and sign up for VIP Luncheon and register the Convention. If you have come before you can register now for the convention for HALF price, only $99. Call 1-800-950-2250. You can also go online to view the Convention announcement and register online.

Found some decent SW flights. But boy remember when SW was the cheaper airline? Not anymore unless you don't mind 3-stops or an entire day flying for a 3 hour flight path...BUT at least they don't nickel & dime you with luggage fees, seat fees, drink fees, etc. And they usually are relatively on schedule and the attendants are often humorous, so oh well.
And you can cancel a flight. You might not always get a refund, but you get reusable credits for another flight without a ridiculous $200 change fee.
The older we get the more we have to look at the possibility we might break a hip or something LOL!! --50.82.xxx.xx |

So I book hotel for May 23 through May 27.
Book airfair for the same dates. Convention is on the 24 25 26 and is an all day affair? Or is it split up in sections with wiggle room for mingling.
Obviously I haven’t been to one before. --166.170.x.xxx |
