March 20 ~ What’s Your Problem? 10+ Financial Challenges Real Estate Can Solve
## **I’m Hosting an In-Person Event In Sunnyvale**
## **… But I'm not inviting you… yet.**
**➡️ There's a catch - BEFORE you click the registration link, I have a requirement.**
Most people attend real estate seminars, take notes, and do nothing. I don’t want that for this room. Before you take one of my 35 seats, I need you to verify that my teaching style and strategies actually align with your goals.
## **Your Homework:**
**➡️** Check out my [\[YouTube Channel\]](https://www.youtube.com/@simplydoit1) or [[Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/guided-real-estate-investing-by-simply-do-it/id1106737712)] first.
If you don’t find 15 minutes of value there, you shouldn't be in the room for two hours.
**If you do like what you hear, and you're dealing with high W-2 taxes or interest rate paralysis, then, AND ONLY THEN, should you grab a seat.**
📅 **[Friday, March 20, 2026](https://simplydoit.net/etn/fri-3-20-whats-your-problem-10-financial-challenges-real-estate-can-solve) \| 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM**
Or ***[Thursday, March 19, 2026](https://simplydoit.net/etn/thu-3-19-whats-your-problem-10-financial-challenges-real-estate-can-solve)*** *\| **6:30 PM – 8:30 PM***

🎟️ **Seating:** Limited to 35 people
**[REGISTER HERE](https://simplydoit.net/etn/fri-3-20-whats-your-problem-10-financial-challenges-real-estate-can-solve)**
**What You’ll Learn:**
→ How to potentially lower your W-2 tax burden (legally)
→ Methods to offset and defer capital gains taxes
→ Real estate investing with as little as 5% down
→ Partnership and support systems for solo investors
→ Passive strategies for busy professionals
→ How to navigate high-interest rates right now

### **What Makes This Event Different?**
**This is NOT:**
* A get-rich-quick scheme
* A high-pressure sales pitch
* Generic advice you can find on YouTube
* A place to buy books & tapes and expensive courses – we don't even have them to sell.
**This IS:**
* Real solutions for real problems
* Strategies specifically relevant to Silicon Valley investors
* An interactive format where YOUR questions get answered
* Practical takeaways you can implement immediately
**[REGISTRATION IS FREE!](https://simplydoit.net/etn/fri-3-20-whats-your-problem-10-financial-challenges-real-estate-can-solve)**[ ](https://simplydoit.net/etn/fri-3-20-whats-your-problem-10-financial-challenges-real-estate-can-solve)
Space is limited – secure your spot today.
This is the class you’ve been waiting for! The class that can guide you toward your first or next investment property.

Philosophy Group Meeting -- Hebrew
Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful.

We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel.
Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough.

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts (CARPE) (Check Location)
Kevin Rhodus from Lucy Deep Park Northside is coming to talk to us about his extensive neighborhood Christmas light display that is open in November and December every year north of Dublin.
9 houses over 12 acres and over 120,000 individual controlled lights that sync to music which you can tune into on your radio! Quite impressive!
https://ldplights.com/
We'll dive into the tech that runs the show -- should be a blast to hear about this very elaborate display!
While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.
This session will be at the Dublin Library in the Meeting Room 2
From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
