Moved to a new area, looking to meet people to work with!

Hello everyone, I just moved to the Pensacola area, coming from Colorado, we, my business partner and I, have few properties that we are interested in buying, the problems we are encountering are real estate agents that make plans to meet up and then break them or forget about the meeting at the last moment, and there doesn't seem to be the same amount of active real estate groups in this area to network with than Denver.

I have found a few groups and plan on attending but I am scrambling to find things like money partners, good real estate agents, lenders now; I'm sort of starting from scratch here so I am posting here potentially meet people here. 

At the moment I am looking at a Multiplex I really like (can share info in I need to) so I mostly need to find a money partner at this time (I have money of my own saved at this time but not enough for the full down payment, but since I'm new it is difficult meeting people.

We are interested in BRRRR mostly, we want to invest in multiplexes, Military People (business partner and I are Veterans), and Vacation and Military Rentals.

I basically wanted to reach out and see who might be interested!

Thanks everyone!

@Billy Barnes Sorry to hear you are not having a good experience with agents in the area so far.  I cover Escambia & Santa Rosa county and I specialize in multifamily so if I can help feel free to reach out!  Also, I'm sure you have stumbled across the PIG group if you have been looking.  It is by far the most active in our area from my experience.  I haven't been but there is also a group called the Gulf Coast Real Estate Investors that meets once per month in the area.  I would say we could use a few smaller masterminds so maybe it makes more sense to put together your own.  The Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Pace, and Milton area have a very active group of investors overall.

    Hey Billy, 

    Sorry to hear about the issues you are having with agents! 


    A few questions:

    What area of Denver is the multi plex in? 

    Do you know if you / any of your partners qualify for a VA loan as veterans?

    Aurora / Co springs would have some great options for military rentals . Be careful on the vacation rental route as STR rules are pretty strict in certain areas.

    Let me know if there’s anything I can help with.

    @Billy Barnes. Good day! I second what Matt said. Check out the PIG group. You will find all sorts of investors in there. I would be curious to see what you are looking at. I am an active investor myself and am in need of somewhere to put some money. Currently we are finishing a big rehab and are searching for another. I would love to be in some multiplexes myself, but good ones are very tough to find.

    There are a few of us realtors out there who really know what we are doing. Unfortanutely, the majority just do not really know or understand the investing side. I think the few you will find in bigger pockets will be far more knowledgeable as to your needs.

    @Billy Barnes - it is a bit far but there are a few good investor meetups in FWB and Niceville.  My teammate is a PIG member, and I understand you can get some great networking done immediately for that kind of thing there as well. 

    Long story short, GO TO ANY MEETUPS YOU CAN!

    I'm an agent who is also a multifamily investor, however I'm further east in the Okaloosa area.

    Thanks for replying everyone! Sorry for my own late response, I had a problem with my account behind the scenes, but thankfully BP's customer service were able to help me out! 


    I tracked down PIG and they seem very promising and I have begun looking at the surrounding areas to see what I can find as far as groups. We have a few Multiplexes that we are looking at, numbers look good. We just would love to talk to a few more people to possibly to work together on a deal. Also few RE Agents reached out to me and have been really good at following up with us. I'm glad I posted and I will continue to reach out here on BP. If interested in talking, please don't be afraid to reach out!
