What: Big Real Estate Networking Summit! (Targeted Networking, Speakers/Panels/Q&A, Breakout Sessions, Vendor Access)
When: Sat & Sun, Nov 15th and 16th, 2014; 8:30AM-5:30PM (confirmed!)
Where: San Francisco State University (confirmed!)
Cost: $TBD - Sign up on link below for updates
SIGN UP / UPDATED INFO: Please fill out the meetup questionnaire so I can better connect you and meet your wants! This is the link that will always contain the updated info: http://www.meetup.com/Real-Estate-Networking-Summits-REmeetup-com/events/182097922/

The goal of this event is to provide you with personalized connections to those who matter most to your investing style and interests, provide a live forum and targeted events to network with those individuals, great speakers with plenty of time for Q&A & Panel Discussions, and vendors available to answer your questions or connect - without any hard sales pitches or guru speakers just trying to peddle their programs. As the host and organizer, that is my commitment to you! There are no corporate sponsors. I’m not selling any systems or books. Just a great RE networking event to help get you better connected and expand your real estate world!

It's amazing what even one good contact can do for your investing..
That tip. That loan. That deal.. That lasting connection! Come meet and select from a couple hundred other investors interested in sharing their experiences and expanding their network, and see what it adds to your real estate game!
Over 90 BP members have expressed interest on my “placeholder” posting so far.. http://beta.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/126194-massive-re-investor-summit--sf-bay-area-oct-2014?page=9 , but please keep your comments on this posting, and be sure to sign up for my meetup group at the following link, so you get the updates:

http://www.meetup.com/Real-Estate-Networking-Summits-REmeetup-com/events/182097922/

There will be private lenders and hard money lenders present, out-of-state investors and vendors, fixers/flippers/rehabbers, wholesalers, buy/fix/holders, residential & commercial investors, and more.. And targeted forums and sessions to connect those who are interested in the other! Speaking sessions will include plenty of time for attendees to ask questions to speakers, and there will be several panel discussions to get a variety of perspectives on these and other topics, in addition to the targeted networking events. I expect to announce speaker & ticket information, in addition to more details on the event agenda, in June and July.

This is not a CA-specific event, although I’m sure there will be lots of CA investors here.. And this is NOT a Bigger Pockets Summit (BP Summit not scheduled this year..), although many BP members will be coming, and I’ll offer @Joshua D.  and @Brandon Turner free tickets if they can make it back out to another awesome, longer, and much more targeted, RE networking event of mine in San Francisco!

Once again, if you haven’t signed up on my meetup group, do it now to stay up to date!http://www.meetup.com/Real-Estate-Networking-Summits-REmeetup-com/events/182097922/

Please reach out if you have any questions. A tag on the forum is great, in case others have the same question. And please introduce yourself on this BP posting also if you’d like to come, even if you’ve already posted on the old forum. A great way to start making connections before the event!
Looking forward to seeing and introducing you to others there!

@J. Martin - I was super impressed this weekend!  Shows the power of your force of personality to get so many experienced and selfless pros into the room to provide some great information and pointers for others.  Loved that no matter your experience level, you could definitely come out of the weekend with some great motivation, action steps and relationships to follow-up with.

Great job and congratulations on a great weekend.  I was proud to be a part of it and look forward to getting back to the bay area for your next super event....

    I'm going to start the first of a series of introductions and links to new posts for attendees to start getting in touch and connecting before we all get to the Summit. Just one of many networking opportunities surrounding this event! Because I'm in contact right now on this, the first up will be...

    * ARIZONA INVESTORS*     Start connecting here:

    http://beta.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking/topics/132668-arizona-forum---sf-networking-summit-connections

    @Patrick O'Sullivan is a CRE broker who focuses on Multifamily & Residential in the

    Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Chandler markets. He reached out on my prior "placeholder" Summit posting, but moving it here now..

    @Yuliany W. , I know you're in that market, and on my Summit Meetup Group. Hopefully Patrick can hook you up with some good advice and/or deals in the area.

    @Johnson H. , I know you have experience there too, so maybe you can share some of your Phoenix experience also.. It's on the weekend, so I don't want to hear any out of town work excuses! lol

    Feel free to introduce yourselves here, but please take it to the AZ link above for detailed Arizona conversations! Thanks!

    @Jay Hinrichs , are you going to be able to make it out and visit your old stomping grounds here in NorCal? You can stop by Clear Lake ;) (although not sure if they have an airport you can fly your plane into..? lol)

    @Kathryn M. , there should be lots more great ideas and contacts you can pull away from this event. In/Out of state. Every discipline under the sun. And working on some great speakers!

    Hi Engelo,

    Not sure what you want. I've got a few thousand posts as well as many threads I've started. Spoke at Original BP Summit and have spoken at many other seminars also. Invited to this one by Jay and I've met with him. Was pretty certain I'd be there until month was changed to Nov. I'm coming from FL, so I'm trying to tie in trip with some other things. We'll know in a few weeks. Rich

    ps If there is something specific, just ask me.

    I go to the real estate meeting in Irving, Texas at Spring Creek BBQ and what amaze me that no one talk about buying real estate charge off accounts from the banks or buying the 90 day late note accounts. I guess real estate investors never thought of it.

    Karen and I plan to attend.  I would like to connect with a partnership group on a California fix or buy and hold.  Also, by then, I should have another out of state buy and hold to add to my assets, and I can share my experience with whomever wants to hear.  Looking forward to hanging out with like minded individuals!
