How to Start a Local Event

Ryan Pryor

Hi Bigger Pockets Members,

I am new to investing. I have been doing a lot of reading on the Bigger Pockets forums. However, I have realize that there is really no close events in my area to connect face to face. I did find a small REIA on the Meetup's app but it was very small when I went. I was thinking about starting a local group in my area, but I have no idea on where to begin and if it is a good idea for someone with my minimal experience to do so. I was wondering if some Bigger Pockets members that would mind sharing a few ideas on how to start a BP group?

Things that have come to my mind are:

Finding locations - how to pay and willing companies with space or charititys with space to make it affordable

How to advertise for interested members

Do I need a license to run a group of this sort

When to consider charging members

What to do during these meeting

These are the things that have crossed my mind. If there are things that I am missing Please let me know. Any help will be VERY much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Ryan
