Looking For Investor Meetups In My Area

Hello there,

My wife and I are new real estate investors living in Maple Grove, MN. We are currently in search of any fellow BP investors, finance experts, lead generators, contractors, and/or property managers here in our area. We currently own one long term rental and are in the market for our next opportunity. We have a lot to learn, but I'm confident we have strengths that can contribute.

Couple of quick questions:

1. Are there any existing investor groups in the area that would be open to us attending?

2. Are there any folks in the area that we should get to know here in the early days?

Just want to be open to opportunity as we dive in, it'd be awesome to get to know you. Looking forward to hearing feedback!

    @Kevin Aiken Congrats for getting into the game! If you have any further questions feel free to ask!

    I'd recommend also looking on Meetup.com for your local area (can filter in person only & how far from where you are, to when) - at least where I am, there are so many that post to this platform & almost all are free to attend or will specify in their posts. Facebook Events/Groups are also good.

    I'd highly recommend going to as many as possible to include your local Real Estate Investor Association (REIA) meetings.

    REI is always a constant & consistent learning process! Glad y'all are taking the next steps to connecting with more people!

    Chase, thank you kindly for the response. Confirmed that Meetup.com seems like a decent resource. I figure getting involved is the best way to understand where the opportunities exist.

    Hey @Kevin Aiken I hope you have had an opportunity to find a couple of meetups here in the Cities! If you go on any of the real estate Facebook pages, you should be able to find a couple in our area. I also host a monthly meet up at different breweries around the metro. Reach out if you would like more information!

    Kevin — love that you’re thinking community early. That’s a cheat code most new investors miss.

    For Maple Grove / Twin Cities area, start with local REIA groups and meetup.com events. The Minneapolis–St. Paul market has a pretty active investor scene. Even small coffee meetups can lead to solid connections.

    Early on, I’d focus on building relationships with:
    – A solid investor-friendly lender
    – One contractor you can actually trust
    – A property manager (even if you self-manage now)

    Those three conversations alone will sharpen your next buy.

    Also — don’t just attend meetups. Show up with a deal you’re analyzing or a clear goal. People engage more when you’re specific.
