Hi All,

Last two months we have had over 20+ BP members attend, chatting about investing in the San Jose area and also out of state. @Jay Y. suggested this meetup and I am helping him post it. We welcome anyone who would like to attend!

When: Friday, August 15, 2014, 7:00pm

Where: Whispers Cafe and Creperie (outside patio)

(The cafe is in the same complex as City Sports and in the same building as Five Guys on the opposite side of the building.)

1085 E Brokaw Rd
Ste 10
San Jose, CA 95131

Looking forward to meeting new investors and seeing familiar faces.

Regards,

Johnson

 Since when did you and Kevin D. became buddies?  

Looks like Johnson, J Martin and I will be there early, I'd say around 4:00ish.  Everyone is more than welcome to join us early.  We will be throwing around ideas of how to make money without any money.  Now, that sounds like guru talk.

 Well, that's fortunate for the group that your dad can join us.  It's just unfortunate that you will be there too.  JK!!!

I have a Whisper coupon so I will be buying nachos for everyone.

@Account Closed  and @Yuliany W. - I won't be able to get to this meetup until close to 7pm this time. I'll try to get there as soon as I can. I'll be taking a peak at the new 49ers stadium and watching training camp!

@Ezra Nugroho @Jordan Thibodeau @J Martin @Steve Vu 

Looking forward to talking to you guys again.

@Helen Chau - I am looking forward to hearing how you are doing finding a multifamily to buy. 

@Tatyana Shevnina  - Thanks for coming out! 

@Susan Gong - You will be missed! I'll let you know on the next deal I am looking to syndicate.
