Low turnout on in-person meetups

[Jeet Sangha]

I recently started hosting a meetup group in my city, and the turnout has been abysmal. I wonder if people prefer to meet online nowadays instead of in person simply because of convenience, or am I missing something?

I'd rather host an in-person meetup because I like the real-time engagement, and you get to build connections at a deeper level. 

I'd appreciate any tips or tricks to host a successful REI meetup group!

Meetups always take time to build and they have to be about something people get excited about. In this real estate environment, it will simply take longer. If you did a meetup on "How to buy Off Market, With No Money Down" someone may take you up on that. ;-)
