I'm pleased to say we're going to have back BP Podcast guest Engelo Rumora!
Yeah, that guy!
For those who don't know Engelo: He's “The Real Estate Dingo" and is a successful property investor that quit school at the age of 14, played professional soccer at 18 and bought his 1st investment property in February of 2011. Within 6 months he purchased 7 more properties in Australia and the US making his portfolio worth well over $1,000,000. He landed himself in the media spotlight when he purchased what is now known as “Australia’s Cheapest House”.
To date, Engelo has been involved in over 400 Real Estate transactions along with successfully founding and running 3 businesses in Toledo, Ohio. The most successful and prominent being Ohio Cashflow, a turnkey real estate business in Toledo, Ohio that specializes in providing turnkey properties in the Toledo, Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio markets. Ohio Cashflow always emphasizes quality over quantity with the main focus of building trust and relationships with investors and key individuals involved in the venture.
We're pleased to have Engelo with us and hope that you all enjoy his presentation. He'll be talking to us about a very special topic entitled, "Wake the XXXX up" You can fill in the blank. Watch his video on the sign up page!
The event location is at 27 East 28th Streetin the WeWork space. We'll start at 5:30pm and go to at least 8:30pm or until they kick us out as they did with the last one!
As I usually do, I want to personally thank Matt Rodak from FundThatFlip.com for getting us back to the WeWork space and making it happen. Thanks Matt! @Benjamin Hirsch from Regal Kitchens will also be there as will Paul Dicker from WSFS Mortgage, a direct lender. Expect to hear from each of them during the event about the great services they provide and deservedly so. Hearing from them is the only "pitching of products or services" you'll hear outside what other members may talk to you about.
Yes hungry people there will be food at the event. We'll have Pizza of all sorts, Beer and Wine (White & Red) for everyone to enjoy.
Even if you're brand new to BiggerPockets, a first time investor or seasoned Pro, money lender or contractor, wholesaler or business professional, or you've been out of the game and need to get back in, be sure to be there and meet other members and those interested in Real Estate investing from the NYC metro area which includes Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange County, Fairfield County CT, and Northern NJ.
There is no dress code. Come as you feel most comfortable to network with others. Just be prepared for another great event!
Tell your friends. Tell your BP colleagues. Send them a link to the sign up because You MUST REGISTER on the following link to attend the event.
Engelo Rumora thank you for a great talk last night! I appreciate your raw honesty and since I'm ex-Navy and a NYer, all the cussing didn't phase me a bit. LOL
Darren Sager thank you for putting together a great meetup! Looking forward to the next one and hopefully will have a deal under my belt.
I'm super pumped about my newest presentation titled "Wake The F@#$ Up". It's all about kicking folks up the A$$ so they can get rid of the sorry excuses they keep telling themselves. I'm looking forward to providing everyone with a ton of value and hopefully changing their mindset for the better. So everyone reading this, don't be a dummy and show up to the event.
@Charles Worth we're starting 30 minutes earlier because they're not allowing us to end around 9pm anymore. Last event they made us stop around 8pm. Just making sure we have enough total time.
@Sarah Karakaian Engelo loves answering questions and sharing his knowledge so make sure you ask him as many as you can! @Tom Chen welcome to BP! Its definitely the most useful resource I have found (outside of hounding @Engelo Rumora on a daily basis hehe)

There will be nothing for sale guys and no hidden agenda. Just a rude and raw presentation on making S@#$ happen and succeeding in real estate.
I'm the biggest anti-guru there is and promise to NEVER sell from stage.
@Engelo Rumora, no worries here. I definitely got the anti-guru vibe from the podcasts and that's one of the reasons I was drawn to BP. I can't stand all those infomercials and scam ads...the fact that the community in BP overall seems to be totally against them is why I'm spending so much time here.
I'm looking forward to more networking and meetups, looking forward to investing asap, and looking forward to generating the kind of passive income that will get me through my retirement years.

Would be great to have you out to our meetup and talk to the group @Jay Hinrichs! Hopefully we can put that together soon. For everyone else only 2 days left 'til the Dingo is amongst us!
I would like to be there as well. I need to hook up with a mentor even if I have to pay him for his time. I need someone to help me to focus. Hopefully someone there can help or can point me in the right direction.
