East Bay Meetup - Thurs Jan 16, 2014 in Oakland

Welcome to the first 2014 East Bay Meetup!

The last meetup in Oakland was a great exchange, so time for another one! Please post on this forum instead of the old one if you plan to attend, so I can get a ballpark number of people.

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you again, and it sounds like maybe quite a few more.. This location will have more space inside, with communal tables. It has food, including vegan options, and a wide variety of beer. Look for nametags when you arrive, but shouldn't be too tough..

Should be a good time! See you there!

Best,
J Martin

What: East Bay Meetup - 2014!

A little about myself: Been living in the Bay Area all my life - Hercules to be exact. All of my career has been in the IT Industry (16 years). My last stint was IT Desktop Support at Lucasfilm. Laid off - end of Aug. Have decided to commit myself to a new career since then. Have always wanted to start investing but didn't have to liberty to change careers early on. Working towards my RE Salesperson Lic but will eventually work as a Commercial Lending officer with a relative under his brokerage in Dublin, CA (Cordero Capital Partners)

In State / Out of State? As a beginner was hoping to start locally for investing but willing to look out of state.

Strategy? Buy & Hold

Type of properties? Again as a beginner - I may focus on small apartments 5-10 units but my goal is to invest in Commercial (Retail / Office)

Looking for? Would like to just network myself with like minded individuals to gain advice / hear experiences on how everyone began and hopefully gain working relationships with some of you later down the line.

Can offer / knowledgeable about? At this point - very little other than I will be working as a Commercial Lending officer within the next couple of months and so marketing myself early is one thing I'm focused on.

Hope to meet most of you on Thur - Thanks

    @Joey Budka , glad to see you can make it out.. let me know if you have any sub-8 GRM properties that pop up in your network..

    @Chris Music , I saw Denise, and was wondering where you were at..! Talk to you there.

    @Jessica Yau , looking forward to talking to you more too.. I'm still <3 W Oakland lol Not quite Belmont! But a cool dynamic nevertheless (w/ plenty of grit remaining..) Actually, I'm looking around for a small place to rent near downtown, lake, W Oak, or temescal starting around February. If you have any units opening up in your building soon, and want a good tenant to pay rent on time and report back to you on the building, let me know!

    Posting the meetup info again to keep it handy for those coming to the forum..

    @Shakir Ansari , you area code is PA and so is your profile.. The meetup is in Oakland, CA. If you're moving out here or on travels, you're welcome to join! If it's a different Oakland, I'm sure you'll be able to find something locally!

    Thanks for asking, but I don't anticipate to be there. I don't really have anything to contribute, since I don't invest in this area.
