Announcing the BiggerPockets Conference 2019!!!
It's been 7 years since we had our last event.
This Conference WILL sell out!
While our final agenda is still coming together, when it's finalized you'll be the first to know. You can expect keynotes, breakout sessions, author panels, and happy hour receptions from 8 am - 4 pm on Monday, October 7th and Tuesday, October 8th.
Breakout sessions on the topics of BRRRR, house hacking, buy & hold, sourcing & funding, deal analysis, and more!
So I was recently in search of a HML to fund a fix n flip that I came across. Most HML said I needed to brinf X amount of dollars to the table...or I not so great stipulations to fund 80-100% of the deal rehab cost included. Since then I was able to full some capital together to buy the property cash. I now need the rehab cost to be funded but NOW most HML are saying there is a minimum to borrow. Being that its only 30k needed most lenders aren't looking to fund this. Is there any groups or places I may have overlooked that can shed light on some options I can compare?
Like Christopher Davis, I too was shocked at the sticker price for this event. I only learned of this event day before yesterday. After the early registration price. The night before shoulder surgery ☹️. But I would LOVE to attend this conference.
I stepped into the role of landlord for the first time in 1991. Since then I have purchased 3 other rental properties and my primary residence. I successfully remodeled & flipped a home as well. Until I discovered the book Managing Rental Properties by Brandon and Heather Turner I had never heard of Bigger Pockets! Matter of fact this is the ONLY book I have ever read on real estate investing and managing rental properties.
I have always been interested in REI! Due to health issues and the demands of my current job in healthcare I am ready to take this gig to the NEXT level! Not sure I can make this event but I am sure it will be amazing! Just like the book!
@Mindy Jensen thank you so much for this post and I'm definitely interested in attending as well. I'm going to make a decision this week before it sells out hopefully.
Just registered! Very excited to attend my first BP conference! If anyone interested in larger (100+ units) multifamily projects would like to network send me a message!
Just got my flight! Looking to share a kick *** airbnb if anyone is interested in some off site networking. PM me. @Dave Van Horn it'll be great to see you! @Bastian Kneuse you can hang with me. You'll get the hang of the conference in hours. Everyone is cool.
If anyone is holding back from going because going alone is intimidating I'm going to be forming a group of those who want to network before the event so they have a few recognizable faces the day of the conference. PM me if you are interested.
I'm excited to attend this great conference and would love to connect with folks while all the great minds are under one roof. I'm in the property management side of the industry so I'd like to 'talk shop' and see what areas of Nashville are next up to offer deals for investments. Feel free to reach out to me if interested in a cup of coffee or lunch while in town!
I'm sure all the speakers are outstanding. One of them I know very well.
My criticism is the lack of diversity. There's only one person of color (POC) that I can see. It looks like a mostly white guy roster. More women! More POC! Surely you can do better BP. I know lots of POCs in my market alone, let alone nationwide.
I hope this is not too nerdy of a question, but i am wondering if the costs for the conference incl travel/hotel are tax deductible?! This, of course, shouldnt be the deciding factor but just a little side comment/question.
I'm not a CPA. But I'm pretty sure the answer is yes. Check with your CPA.

Ruth, thank you for your feedback. We will be putting out a call for speakers for the next conference after this conference is finished.
I’m excited for this and while I’m there I will be looking for someone with airbnb experience in the Nashville area. We want to buy near Broadway and would like to see how others manage their out of town Airbnb rentals.
I just learned of the Conference in Nashville. And actually I just MOVED to Nashville, so it seems like a great omen. I would really like to go. I saw the basic tickets are sold out and I can't afford $1199, is there any secondary market for tickets? Anywhere people are transferring, buying/selling tickets? Often people can't go last minute. Thank you for any help!
