Hi All,
It's another month and time for another real estate meetup! These meetups have had 20-40 BP and Meetup.com members chatting about investing in the San Jose area and also out of state. Bay Area and out of state investor @Jay Y. initially suggested this meetup and I have been keeping it going ever since. Regular experienced investors such as @J Martin from Oakland and @Minh Le in San Jose have been regularly attending. We welcome anyone who would like to attend!
When: Wednesday, December 16, 2015, 6:30pm
Where: Whispers is now closed. Now we are at Parktown Pizza Company! Find us in the back room, reservations under my name if I run late!
Please support the small business by spending some money and tipping for the great service we receive every month! (I don't pay for the space nor do I receive anything from the restaurant)
Introductions will at 7pm and its free networking afterwards.
Looking forward to meeting new investors and seeing familiar faces.
Regards,
Johnson

You have to make it. It's right in your backyard. Johnson lives in SF and hosts the meetup in the SouthBay for investors' benefits.
We were there at 5:30pm the last time although the meetup doesn't start until 7pm. The restaurant closes at 9:30pm, but some of us were loitering around until 11pm. You're welcome to come and leave whenever. It's one of those subjects that some of us could discuss forever. Just like boba milk tea, I have demonstrated with Johnson my caffeine tolerance level over the weekend, and how one can "work" 12-15 hours a day and enjoy every moment of it without feeling like work. :>)
@Xiaojun M., come on out if ft a little bit you have time.

@Johnson H, This meetup sounds great! Thanks for setting it up.
Hopefully I can make it. I own property in downtown San Jose and am wondering how the market is down there and if I should refi and keep my property or sell. I'd be coming down from San Francisco and after my day job, so with traffic and all, it might be hard.
If I don't make this one, hopefully I'll make the next one. Maybe one up in SF?

@Account Closed Nice. I like Boba or Pizza, haha. I have 2 years old twin girls at home so I was just timing with their bed time and such. But I will definitely try to make it. If you guys are planning to be there early, give me a howl. I can come early, but I might have to leave by before 8:30 or so. Looking forward to it!

@Brent Tarnow I suggest you join the group on meetup.com. Jason's signature has the link to it and that's how I know first then keyword alert kick in on BP.

@Myo Thein - Thanks for your interest in the meetup! Minh is correct that the pizza place closes at 9:30pm and people usually loiter around. I moved the start time earlier to 6:30pm but even then people show up earlier. I usually announce on this thread if I can make it even earlier to beat the traffic coming from San Francisco.
@Brent Tarnow - I have a link in my signature that is free for you to sign up for the meetup. You'll receive an email when the next one is announced.
@Sherwin Gonzales - If SJ is too far for you, there is a SF meetup on Tuesday hosted by my buddy J. I will be taking over the hosting duties for it next year as well. Come by Tuesday, I'll be there!

Hello, i was just wondering how this meetup was going to be setup. Is it going to be a private room for only people going to the meetup or is it going to be in the actual restaurant where anyone can sit down and listen in?

Thanks for everyone's interest tonight, looking forward to seeing you all! @Account Closed
@Account Closed - This meetup is held at the back of the restaurant and not in a private room. Its at a pizza place so people can come and go as they please.

Ok perfect. I was just wondering because my wife wanted to tag along and maybe my son. Not sure if there was somewhere they can hang out while we are in the meetup

@Account Closed - That definitely wont be a problem. The place is pretty large with many tables and TV's and I doubt it will be busy tonight. Also, there are a few arcade games to keep your son entertained!
