Hi Everyone!
This month we have a real treat for a meet up. My friend and fellow BP'er, @Nhi Nguyen has invited us to have a meet up at his new construction build in San Jose! I viewed it a few months ago when it was just a frame. By Saturday, the sheet rock, first coat of stucco and maybe tile work will be finished for the bathrooms. In addition, Nhi has installed some amazing custom windows and doors from what I've heard and I am excited to see his work so far to date!
Nhi has been a contractor for more than a decade helping his clients renovate their homes to realize their full potential. In addition, Nhi is also an real estate investor and he will be on-site welcoming any questions you may have about the new construction process. Nhi is one of the nicest people I have ever met and please thank him for this opportunity while you're on-site! I'm sure it will be a fun time learning about his trade and the build itself.
I will have some bottled water for everyone for this meetup. If there is enough interest, we can continue the meetup with an early dinner somewhere in the San Jose area.
Check out Nhi's construction diary on Biggerpockets where he has pictures of the demolition, framing, and final plans on what the house will look like.

I'm planning to attend the meet up (probably not the lunch, even though I love Korean food, yum!) Most weekends are reserved for family time, but I'll try to sneak out for a bit. I hope I can find a babysitter. @BeBe Cheng we missed you at the last meet up. @J. Martin

Johnson,
Why are you messing with us? First you said 6am, then it's 2pm. You say we meet in San Jose without an address. San Jose is pretty big bud. I believe it's in the Hidden Glen subdivision near Beshoff Motorcar, but I could be wrong. Give us an address bud.
If you're going to be down here early, let's grab some lunch before we head there. @J. Martin and everyone else are welcome to join us.

@Johnson H. and @David C. , welcome aboard. You're more than welcome to join us for lunch before the meet-up. David is a local investor and flipper. Johnson owns a handful of properties in Phoenix, AZ. He now wants to invest in San Francisco. Talk about being loco :0). He works for the Federal Reserves. I have been unemployed for 5.5 years. Thanks to my wife. Looking forward to meeting you.
WOW, I love the ladies in our group. First it was Susan, then Kathryn, now Bebe. Talking and giving without expecting anything in return. Thank you very much for your offer Bebe.
J will respond soon I can guarantee that. He doesn't turn down a Korean meal, free or not.

Thanks for your generosity @BeBe Cheng! I just emailed Nhi to see if he would like to join us. Welcome @Deepak Nasta! I really like the people down in San Jose, which makes my drive down there from San Francisco worth it every time. David and Minh are really smart investors, you'll learn a lot from them!

Nhi said he will make it to lunch. He also said that if BeBe doesn't come, he will treat us to lunch! BP'ers are just too darn nice! I thought real estate investors were ruthless :)

How many folks going for the lunch? have room for one more?
Just show up. The restaurant should be able to accommodate all of us. At this rate, everyone is buying their own lunch. Can't have Bebe paying for all of us. :0)

Johnson,
That was a cool meet-up on Saturday. @Nhi Nguyen , thank you for hosting us. I love the floor plan. @Deepak Nasta and @Julie M. , it was nice meeting you guys. I hope the meet-up gave you some motivation. Nhi is quite brave to take on this project IMO.
@David C. and her hubby for treating us to a nice Korean Restaurant. I know I probably forgot to mention some others, but there is always next time. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. It's day light saving so don't forget to adjust your clock and go to work an hour early tomorrow.

Hi @Account Closed unfortunately, I couldn't find baby sitter. My M-F nanny doesn't work on Saturdays :( and the other ones are kind of flaky. I hope I can meet you guys next month also I don't mind to be included in future partnership as well :)

@David C. and @Eric Z. , it was great seeing you guys again. You guys are on my list for future partnerships. @Yuliany W. , it looks like you couldn't find a baby sitter.
@J. Martin , you proved that networking works. Thank you very much for the referral. I will definitely give you props after I closed the transaction next month.
Last but not least, thank you very much to @BeBe Cheng and her hubby for treating us to a nice Korean Restaurant. I know I probably forgot to mention some others, but there is always next time.

Absolutely Minh. Like I said, happy to be able to help you out :) Close the deal first!
Thanks Johnson for organizing, and Nhi for hosting. Love the tall ceilings in there!
Bebe, Thanks for lunch :)
Always great hanging out with this crowd. Wish you all didn't live so far away from Oakland!
