Are any buy and hold investors in South Florida interested in forming a networking group?

I've been to a number of the REIA meetings in all three South Florida counties and though I see many classes and discussions on wholesaling, there seems to be a lack of networking for the buy and hold investor.

My thoughts are to met once a month, most likely in Fort Lauderdale area so it will be more central for everyone, no dues, not a club, just a networking event to discuss problems, strategies, etc.

Any thoughts? Any takers?

I wish I could make it, but my husband and I won't be in Ft. Lauderdale until July 6th. Maybe I could Skype in?

In the meantime, I highly recommend Regent Bank in Ft. Lauderdale, Tim Zivku loan officer, who I've worked with on a portfolio loan. They're a small regional bank and investor friendly.

    Thanks Aly! Do you have an iphone? If so I can Facetime you. Also, maybe we can work around that date in July so you can attend. I'm going to advertise on the regular posting board anyways to see if we get interest. :-)

    I put this on my calendar to attend but everything I schedule in April is tentative. My wife and I are expecting our second child and come the second week of April we will be on borrowed time.

    @Aly W. thanks again for the recommendation. I saw Regents come up as the bank that funded the garbage carrier I use at one of my properties and the owner mentioned that they were business friendly. I'll give Tim a call and see what products he offers.

    Hi @Vana G., thanks for putting this together! I don't have an iPhone for Facetime, just a Droid. I'd love to be a part of it if possible, but I'm also looking forward to an opportunity in July to meet anyone that is available.

    You're welcome @Chris M., I hope it works out!
