Hello Everyone,

I am hosting an event next month on April 24th that will connect people who live in NYC and invest in either Philadelphia or the Lehigh Valley(Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton).

2 Months ago - I hosted an event that just included people who invested in Allentown and there was 10 people who attended the event.

There are requirements to join the group

  1. You have at least one deal in the Lehigh Valley or Philadelphia
  2. You live in the NYC Tri-State Area
  3. You have a willingness to provide your experiences of your investments to the group.

Please do not ask to join this event if you do not have a deal in the area. The purpose of the group is so everyone can provide and receive information equally. You are invited to attend once you have a deal in the area.

I will organize this gathering every on the last Wednesday of every other month.

Benefits of joining this meeting
  1. You are exposed to connections investing in an area that you are invested in. This will allow you to share experiences, contractors and other professionals contacts.
  2. You can also discuss contact information in the event you want to buy or sell to anyone else in the group.
  3. Build your network

Please let me know if anyone has any questions. I look forward to connecting with everyone.

    @Basit Siddiqi

    Hi Basit,

    Just curious as to why wouldn't see any value in inviting people who don't a deal in the Lehigh area to your meet-up.  I live in NY and have been considering investing in the Lehigh for some time now. And, now that I'm moving to Philadelphia this September, I'm going to start actively looking for deals. I'm a business development project manager and my wife is a high-end residential interior designer. All of her clients are high net worth finance professionals.

    I think we are exactly the type of people that have something to offer to an event like yours. Would love to understand the reasoning behind the criteria you've set. Best of luck with your event!

    - Franky

    @Basit Siddiqi 

    So I'm actively pursuing leads in the area and if i understand correctly, if I don't have any doors yet, I cannot attend?

    @Gregory DeRosso

    I will welcome you with open arms to the event once you have a closed deal/property in the area. I created this group so everyone within the group can share and receive information equally. I hope you understand.

    I would love to help you get a deal in the area. Please let me know if there is anyway that I can help.

    I host a general real estate networking event on the first Wednesday of the month that you are able to attend. Please let me know if you want more details on that event.

    @Matt M.

    I host events in New York. It may be a little far from Easton but you are more than welcome to come and attend.

    From my understanding, there is an event in Allentown for investors to attend.

    I purchased my first investment property in Philly - Nov 2018. I'm currently looking to purchase again in the Philadelphia area. Thank you for hosting this. I hope I can make it tonight. I look forward to meeting everyone.

    @Gagan Singh

    It would be great to come to this event as you can build your network of people who are doing something similar to you. 

    I will likely host a similar event every 2 months but it depends on the success of this event.

    Welcome to Biggerpockets! 
    Congrats on purchasing the investment property not too long ago. I hope it is going well for you.

    There are a couple other people who live in NYC and invest in Philadelphia attending this event. Stop by if you have a chance and grow your network.
