Hopefully this finds everyone well!

I know it's hard to make everyone happy with a time and location for a meetup but my goal here is to meet with anyone willing to take time from their day and come network. I dont want anyone who sells mentoring or guru style promises, I am looking specifically for those individuals who are doing any form of real estate investment full time and can commit to growing a Columbus meeting to a regular event. If you dont do real estate full time you are still welcome to come! What I am hoping is that those of us who are able to consistently meet can, together, choose a different time or location if necessary. The event will be virtually agendaless, we will do quick introductions and keep talking.

For now we will meet in the back room of Yogi's 3880 Hard Rd in Dublin close to Sawmill Rd. I will be there from 12-2 on Friday's beginning this Friday January 23rd and there is currently no cost to attend.

So if you need a recap this free event is held in the back room at:

Yogi's Bar and Grill 3880 Hard Rd Dublin Ohio 43016 from 12-2 beginning 1/23/15

I will be going there, even if its by myself for the first few... who is coming with me?!?!

    Seems like the Saturday meetup in March has caused some to cancel for today, so...

    We will not be doing The Columbus Ohio Friday weekly meetup anymore, we will move to one time per month and it will be posted in a new thread! For those of you who were planning to come today sorry for the hassle.

    @Jordan Ross

    These were fairly hit or miss... high of 17 attendees and low of 1 !!!

    I really haven't made the time to keep them up recently. It amazed me how much interest folks showed on the forums and then never came to anything. I know there are some fairly active ones in the area. @John Hornerhas one (I think) and people have mentioned COREE various times on the forums.

    I'd be happy to show you around our place if you are in or around Dublin!

    I think you are talking about the group Ed runs. I don't think it is called the Columbus REIA. I think he just calls it the landlord owners meeting.

    @Chad Miller

    @Robert Ellis

    Chad, Robert stated it correctly. The landlording meeting that I moderate used to be affiliated with Columbus REIA but that organization hasn't had meetings for quite some time.

    This Thursday, Feb. 25th, the FREE landlording and networking meeting will be at Tommy's Pizza on Dublin-Granville from around 6 - 9:00 PM. (You can arrive later than 6 PM but the earlier you get there the more opportunity you have to learn and meet people as we will have a Q&A session for the first 45 minutes.)  

    Our speaker will be Dana Rose, the Administrator of the City of Columbus Division of Code Enforcement.  He is scheduled to start at 6:45. We often have as many or more BP members in attendance as the last meetup I attended and we will have about an hour set aside for networking.  Whether or not you are interested in landlording, code enforcement impacts many aspects of real estate investing and it is well worth the time to understand the process and ask questions if you care to.

    @Ed W.  I'm not looking to add to my rental portfolio right now, but I am a rehabber.  I'd be interested in networking with other investors in the area, specifically active wholesalers.  Is this meeting strictly geared toward landlord investors, or do you think there would be a benefit to me attending?

    @Matt Stewart

    Hi Matt, I don't know the depth of your experience but I will suggest that it is almost inconceivable to me that you wouldn't find the meeting of value:

    1. Since you are a rehabber, having the chance to listen to and ask questions of the head of code enforcement should be of value to you.

    2. The meeting is usually well attended.  It's hard for me to predict but the last few meetings have had between 40 and 50 attendees.  I'm anticipating (but can't guarantee) we'll be at 50 so this Thursday.  Some of the attendees (including me) actively wholesale (I'm also a landlord and where a couple of other hats but I am an active wholesaler) and some actively rehab.  We'll have a dedicated networking session and if you attend and remind me, I'll try to get wholesalers to meet with those looking for property.
