Hello fellow BP members in the North East!I am pleased to announce that we have a very special guest attending our Meetup in Manhattan this June 17, 2014: BP Legend @Will Barnard .

Will is flying out from California just to be with us and so don't miss this event! He has experience in buy and hold, development, notes, luxury flips, and much, much more. He's been an active member on BiggerPockets for more than 6 years and has posted more than 11,000 times! He created the term many of us use "BP Nation" and actively helps out the members of BP with his knowledge and experience. We are truly honored to have him with us. Will is going to speak to the group and as usual our perk for Pro Members of BP will get some more intimate time with Will in a smaller group setting on a first come first serve basis (see below for details). If you don't know Will Barnard you should. Check out Podcast 32 here on BiggerPockets as well as Will's website http://www.barnardenterprises.com/.

We'll be back at Pranna Restaurant on June 17th this time on the second floor. Pranna is located at 79 Madison Ave (at 28th Street) in Manhattan. Just as before we'll start at 6:30 and go to at least 10pm. The Meetup is free for all members of BiggerPockets. There is no dress code. Come as you feel most comfortable to network. Again around 9pm we should have a very special announcement about our next meeting in July. This event is our first with sponsorship. Hors D'ouvres and our meeting space is being graciously provided by NorthStar Funding in Hoboken, NJ. Expect to hear a few words from our sponsor.

Even if you're brand new to BiggerPockets, a first time investor or a seasoned Pro, money lender or contractor, wholesaler or business professional, be sure to be there and meet other members and those interested in Real Estate investing from the NYC metro area (and beyond) which includes Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, Putnam and Orange County, Fairfield County CT, and Northern NJ. If you happen to live in Boston, Hartford, Springfield, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C. you should try to make it. All members from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maryland and Pennsylvania,it will be worth you driving in for the event.

SPACE WILL BE LIMITED! You must post that you'll be attending or there could be a chance that you might not be able to get in. If you're a Pro member of BP you'll need to RSVP to me directly for the extra time with Will. This is on a first come first serve basis!
