Newbie investors!
If you have 5 or fewer deals under your belt, this is the meet-up for you!

This is a meetup for investors with 5 deals or less! We understand that other meetups and associations can be intimidating. Sometimes it feels like everyone in the room knows WAY more than you do. It can be embarrassing to speak up, ask questions or network. Not here. At this meetup, everyone is new. We'll support and encourage each other. We'll problem solve and grow together.

Session #2

Answering the question: HOW DO I FIND A DEAL?


You will leave this session not only with a better idea on how and where to find deals, but with at least a small list of possible deals to explore or make an offer on!

This meeting will be at 1pm in the Hilliard Room of the library. Networking after the meeting.

ROUGH AGENDA:
Welcome, Agenda and Ground Rules
Introductions and Topic Introduction
Quick Topic Discussion
Working time - developing your deal criteria and finding possible deals
Networking

Session 2 is a working session. You will want to bring:

A laptop
Pen
Paper
We will all be MOST prepared if you answer these 5 questions before hand:

What are my real estate investing goals?
What is my budget?
How do I plan to finance a real estate investment?
Which neighborhoods am I comfortable with or most interested in?
What amount of rehab am I comfortable with (i.e. <$10,000)?
Once we know WHAT you're looking for, we can go look!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 24th.
