What nice people!\n\nBe sure to try their house specialty appetizer Humita\, fresh ground corn mixed wit h cheese\, steamed in the cornhusk. It’s like a tamale without meat but no t as spicy and a little sweeter.\n\nThere’s lots of FREE non-meter parking on the street (Pulaski or Cornelia) so you will not need to walk more then a block. If you are coming on public transportation\, the Milwaukee bus\, Pulaski bus or the Addison bus will get you close to their door. It’s abou t a five-block walk for the Addison Blue Line stop.\n\nAbout the restaurant :\nLa Hunita was founded in 2003 by Nestor\, Ulpiano and Luis Correa. The C orrea brothers are three Ecuadorians that came to the United States with a dream to provide a better life for themselves and their family. They discov ered that through hard work and dedication this country afforded them many opportunities. They quickly adapted to this land's customs and traditions\, but always maintained their Ecuadorian customs. Something that all three s iblings missed from their native Ecuador was the cuisine. During the early nineties it was difficult to find good Latin food\, as there were only a ha ndful of South American restaurants in the Chicago area. The Correas began by opening a restaurant\, which served a few typical Ecuadorian dishes. Slo wly\, they introduced more dishes to the menu. Soon\, their selection of ap petizers\, entrees\, desserts and drinks was extensive. Nowadays\, La Humit a presents their customers with a wide variety of the most exotic and authe ntic Ecuadorian cuisine. For the past four years\, the restaurant has dedic ated itself to excellence in the culinary arts.\n\nAfter dinner for those w ho want to stay and enjoy some live music can walk upstairs the second floo r El Balcón bar. Live shows feature an array of Latin music\, from the mod ern tropical sounds of today like Salsa\, Boleros and Cha Cha Chas\, to the most traditional beats of Pasillos\, Baladas\, and Latin American rythms. The music sound of as many Latin American countries as possible. Guest mus icians come from Ecuador\, Chile\, Colombia\, Argentina\, Venezuela and Per u among other countries.\n\nChicago\, IL 60641 - USA\n\nThursday\, Novembe r 12 at 7:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/c/ 9/e/event_7531902.jpeg\n\nAttending: 7\n\nDetails: http://travel.meetup.com /515/calendar/11800573/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091105T045904Z UID:event_11800573@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091105T045841Z DTSTAMP:20091112T072305Z DTSTART:20091113T010000Z DTEND:20091113T030000Z GEO:41.88;-87.64 LOCATION:La Humita - 3466 N Pulaski Rd - Chicago\, IL 60641 - USA URL:http://travel.meetup.com/515/calendar/11800573/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Pre-Show Meetup- Peter Bjorn and John\, El Perro Del Mar\, & Yourse lf and the Air DESCRIPTION:Groupon Meetups\n\nMeet fellow Groupies and Groupon employees a t SmartBar before the show!

Is there a great apartment complex\ , strip mall\, gas station or commercial real estate project that you would love to be able to invest in\, but don't want to tie up all of your money in covering the down payments and other costs required to participate in th e deal? Are you interested in learning how to raise the capital needed to f inance the deal from non traditional sources like equity partners and priva te lenders? If the answer to both questions is yes\, then This meetup is t he right event for you.\n\nContrary to popular belief\, the hardest part of buying an apartment building\, convenience store or any other piece of com mercial property is not qualifying for the mortgage. On the contrary\, it's the process of coming up with the chunk of the cash needed to cover the un -financed balance\, closing costs and required reserves that prevents most people from being able to take advantage of a great deal. \n\nSo what's the answer to the problem of having a great project\, 75% commercial mortgage financing and being a couple thousand bucks short of being to close out you r deal? Creatively structured private equity or debt financing.\n\nIn this meetup we'll discuss the fundamentals of raising private capital to assist you in covering the equity gaps in your commercial and residential real est ate deals. Why let a great property slip by or go to waste just because y ou don't all the capital needed to fund the deal? Take the time to learn ho w the big boys (and girls) put together win win deals.\n\n\nTopics Covered in this live event and in the next few in this series Include:\n\nWhat is p rivate equity capital\nWhat is private debt\nWhy raising private capital is important\nHow to determine your capital requirements\nHow to find private equity capital or debt\nHow to structure private equity / debt deals\nIssu es to consider and be aware of\n\nSince the point of all of this is network ing and making money from real estate\, all of you are welcome to bring up any deals or situations that you have in the works. Don't forget to bring c ards\, flyers and other details of your project with you. \n\n\nAbout The S peaker\n\nHassan Omar is a Commercial Mortgage Loan Officer and the Preside nt of TBD Investing Company (www.tbdinvesting.com)\, a great real estate ma nagement company that specializes in providing deep discount investment pro perties and professionally remodeled homes in the Atlanta and Chicago marke ts.
