BP Meetup in Barboursville/Huntington, WV Area
I'm looking at starting a BP meetup in the Barboursville/Huntington area of West Virginia. There are a couple REIAs in the Tri-State area, but none of them are backed by the power of BP and the incredible people that it tends to attract. My vision is for this meetup to be informal and organic. Really just a place and a time for like-minded people to get together and talk about their passion for or interest in real estate investing. If that leads to a more structured and education based meeting, then that is great - if it remains just a place to gather and bounce ideas and network, that's great too. If you're in the area and are interested, let me know and I will keep you updated! The first meeting will be within the next 2-3 weeks most likely (around the 3rd week of April 2023)
We have a lot of BP members in the Columbus area. It would be awesome if you could do something like that in the Columbus area since WV is so close. If not, I can definitely look into arranging a BP meetup in the Columbus area for the Ohio folks.

I would love for it to grow to that point. For right now I’m going to focus on this immediate area and see where it goes. If you do get something going in Columbus let me know!

Hey David! It’s funny you make this post because literally just made one yesterday for the same thing. Maybe we could combine our desire for a meetup in the Huntington area work on getting people to attend together. Let me know what you think.
Absolutely man, I’ve got a small group of people I know personally who are ready to roll. Just need to set a date and place - I know Oscar’s would be willing to set aside some tables for us. What do you think?
Oscars would be a solid place. I have never been there personally but I have heard it's good food. Plus, I like the story behind the owner. I also might be able to get us the room at Sip. That is what I chose in my post with the date being the 15th of April.
The owner is friend of mine, really good dude. My gut is to make it a weeknight evening. Weekends for a lot of people are usually tied up with kids sports, family functions and trips. What are your thoughts on that?

Huntington is a bit of a hike for me, but I'd be willing to make the trip if I'm available. Keep me posted on the details. Thanks!
Absolutely! We’d love to have you. I’m an inspector too so we could talk shop if you want.

We’ll find a way to get ppl with varying schedules involved. If weekends are better for most ppl then that’s the way we should go for sure

Since you are friends with the owner of Oscars then I’d say that would be a good meeting place.
I see where you guys are discussing meetups and varying schedules. I, like Jarrett, work a non traditional schedule. So a set day of the week at a particular time may or may not work. Just depends where it falls in my rotation. All of that said, I just want to get together occasionally to give my wife a break from me talking about real estate all of the time. If we’re able to squeeze a brew or two in, that’s even better. Thanks to all of you guys for starting the conversation. This is a real need in our area.

We're going to shoot for Tuesday, April 11 from 5-7pm at Oscars. Let me know if you plan to make it so I can let the owner know and he can make sure they are properly prepared. First beer is on me!
Quote from @David Fowler:Tuesday evenings actually work for me! As long as I finish up at the W2 in time to make the trip (usually not a problem), I'll be there. Looking forward to it.

Would love to come, I’ll be out of town that week but the next one I will definitely try to make it!

Update, I’m going back to days so I can in fact do Tuesday evening. I know Deak’s schedule is also varying, so we need to make sure this will also work for him.

Meetup is this evening at Oscars from 5-7pm. First beer is one me! I'll be the bald one in a blue Kentucky polo, unless my manbun dreams miraculously come true in the next few hours. We'll most likely be set up to the right upon walking in. Looking forward to meeting everyone, hopefully this is the first of many!

It was great to meet everyone! It's amazing how a few conversations with like minded folks can get your wheels turning and stir up that excitement and motivation for investing. Looking forward to doing it again.
I live in Huntington and was looking for local meetups to go to and I just stumbled upon this post! How is it going?
