I have seen several posts from people in the Topeka and Lawrence area looking for investor networking opportunities closer to home. I, like many of you could not find one. So I created one. Please feel free to look up The Northeast Kansas Real Estate Investors Club on Facebook. 

The first meeting will be May 24th 2018. Meetings will be held the fourth Thursday of each month from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at the Norsemen Brewing Company, 830 N Kansas Ave, Topeka, KS 66608.  There is no agenda as of yet and I would like for the meetings to be somewhat informal but with enough suggestions and volunteers, that could change. I look forward to seeing you there!

I invest in Topeka, but live in Lenexa (KC metro).  I know the Topeka market pretty well.  If you get a group going, I may want to join.  I am very interested flips in KC, Lawrence or Topeka and multiplex opportunities in Lawrence. Thanks for getting something going, Michael!

    Completely agree with bolded statement as I am on the renter side here and have been looking off and on to buy for 7 mos - I still maintain real estate is vastly overpriced compared to what I could get for my money in Wichita much less the KC metro area.

    I'm not sure how much longer we will stay here but the plan I have in my head is to buy the little acreage/house we live on now and just take out a construction loan in a year or two and build/add on to make what we want.

    @Michael Stamps - did you get much of a turnout at the meetup?   Wanted to attend however we had our company staff meeting the same night and needed to be in attendance.

    Michael - do you or any other Topeka folks have a lead on a decent janitorial crew - need someone to come into our building and strip/rewax our floors - would need to start work around 6-7pm and would likely need to do the work in sections over a few days.  

    Also needing an electrician, cable/networking installer or network technician to run some network cable runs for us - most of the runs would be through a drop ceiling - have 2-3 that will be about 8-10' runs into an area where the ceiling is finished - however we do have easy attic access through the drop ceiling in the hallway right next to the offices.

    Could lead to work from time to time.

    Also - for any of you reading this - I've started a group on a very popular social networking site - I can't post the site due to the nazi rules here, however it could be called something like Topeka / Lawrence area contractors and home services group - would appreciate it if you'd join up and spread the word - Similar group was started by someone on this site for Wichita and it has grown exponentially and organically over the past couple of years - great for investors/retail folks and contractors alike to connect for work or work requests.  

    I have no network of contractors here so looking to grow one - figure the networking group can help not only myself but many other folks at the same time.

    Michael - hope to see you at the next meeting. Dont think we have anything planned.
