Anyone going to BPCON?

[Ronald Rohde]

Anyone in this forum heading to BP Conference in San Diego this year?

We closed on our second industrial outdoor storage facility, 5.5 acres in DFW. Would love to chat with other industrial investors or anyone in the commercial space.

I’ll be there, speaking on the topic of investing in real estate syndications. I look forward to seeing you there!

I'm local and on the fence, I'm concerned content might be outdated due to shifts in the market recently but would always enjoy networking if that is the case. So we'll see...

 Hey Tim! One of the keynotes is Lauren Saidel-Baker from ITR Economics. We've partnered with ITR several times as their economists always provide extremely up-to-date forecasts. Sometimes they are even adjusting their presentations the morning of the event due to shifts in the market!

That is great news, I hope other speakers are considering that too.

I'll be there!  New Orleans was a great time and SD is only a quick drive for me. Keep an eye out for my friend @Soli Cayetano aka Lattes & Leases speaking session!

Bigger Pockets is such an awesome network that has connected me with clients across the country and BP CON last year was the Mecca that actually allowed me to meet some people in person that I had spoken to so many times while working on deals online and over the phone. There's nothing really like BPCON.

 Yes, and I think Q&A will also be hyper relevant...

If you want to scale your business then you should go. People need people to scale quickly, so get out there and meet some folks.

If they have one eventually in GA I might go.

I just like staying local and chilling out. Not a big traveler unless vacation and no business activity. 

Tons of business comes to me without advertising.

Those conventions can be great for those that like to hob knob and mingle, just starting out, or established and trying to increase potential client base. 

 Maybe Atlanta or NC could be next.

I understand your goals, I'm much more growth minded in terms of growing my law practice and industrial investments. I'd like to meet you someday though!

 Thanks John, agreed 100%. I think it will attract enough like minded investors!

I understand Ronald for sure. I could push my business much harder than I do. At 47 years of age I value my time more with family with my 2 year old son and my aging mom is 79 now. I won't get those times to create the memories back.

Once the money goes up so much the time moves to the top of the pecking order. I am making about mid 7 figures income this year and next year might hit 8 figures. Of course I will buy properties to bring taxable income down as much as possible.

Most of the people in my space are on teams for volume on the listing side. I am one of a few specialists on the buyer side. Most buyer side agents have just a few years experience because people at my level (decades in) are senior directors on teams for the listing side. They do not really like dealing with buyers but I have created a process over about 2 decades to make the process smooth and weed out the tire kickers. So I do not have the bad experiences they do because I have built a filtering system over time to find the good buyers with certain attributes.

There are a couple companies that do what I do with similar experience levels but not that many.

Just like you are doing with industrial I have built out a niche with NNN and do not need to do anything else. Once you are known as a specialist and expert in a particular space people automatically seek you out.

It would be cool if BP had a virtual option for the conferences for those who do not or could not attend. I have seen these before on some other platforms with businesses.

I wish everyone the greatest success possible. I have found talking with thousands of millionaires over the decades that money only drives maybe a few percent of them after they no longer have to work for money and are financially free. They still grow money to outpace inflation and have goals you just change more to having increased time to inspire others and helping make the world a better place.

I do have friends that compete heavily with each other over how much they syndicate, who syndicated the biggest deals and all of that. That doesn't really drive me at all. I really get nothing out of that. I do enjoy seeing others work with me or invest with me and us succeeding together. That part is magical to not just see the money grow but how it impacts each and everyone of their lives.

 I hear everything in this and more. I think everyone's background shapes what they value the most, unfortunately, most people don't stop to think really about what is important to them and reflect it in your daily actions.

Money is really useless if you have no one to share it with. 

I enjoy building something, creative design and execution. The struggle to fight against inertia, etc.
