@George Foster and I were discussing the end of the year meetup for Chicago investors and wanted to try something different.  We were thinking of doing deal presentations in the beginning and then networking after.  Our thoughts were to have about people present a deal they are working on that the group can help them with.  It could be a large deal where you need to raise capital, it could be a flip project where you are looking for a partner, ect

The idea would be you get about 5 minutes to present and would have handouts explaining the details and we could all talk about it for a few minutes then move on to the next one.  

I think we have a great group that meets every month but we also want to foster deal making and helping each other out.  Thoughts?

Since we are combining Nov/Dec I was thinking of doing the meetup Dec 2.  Any objections?

I did not realize there is a group that meet monthly. I would love to go!

I am looking for land in West Town, North Side and multifamily buildings with cap of 8% or higher. 

Thanks,

Yes @Derek Martin it will be like Shark Tank Chicago Investors edition!

Sounds like there is sufficient interest, let me book the venue and I will send out the details.

PM me your email address if you do not get the monthly meetup emails and I will add you to the list

I know for sure the meetup will not be on our regular day (third Tuesday of the month) as the RE Summit in San Francisco that @J. Martin is hosting is the weekend before and a bunch of us will be there and will be still recovering :)

@Brie Schmidt  I got an email from Zach asking if I was going to the November meeting tomorrow, and I see somebody asked on one of the old meetup threads here if the meetup was happening tomorrow (November 18th).  You may want to check that thread and respond about the combined Nov/Dec meeting.

There is no meetup tonight and it is on my list to schedule it today.  Once it is confirmed I will post and send out an email to those on the list.  

We hold them near Chicago in Norwood park, right off the blue line FYI
