Dallas/North Texas Meetup

Hi Everyone!

My name is Daniel Schlittler, and I'm a soon to be Real Estate investor. My goal is to purchase my first property (a SFR) in the growing North Texas area by October of this year. These cities include: Prosper, Celina, Gunter, Melissa, Anna, Sherman, Van Alstyne, etc.

I've been consuming a ton of BP content via podcasts & books, but am really looking to expand my network. My goal in posting this is to see if there's anyone in the Dallas/North Texas area that would be interested in starting some sort of regular meetup with me where we can share ideas, information, etc. The more the merrier!

I didn't see what I was looking for under the meetup tab, so I figured I'd reach out to everyone directly. Please let me know if you're interested!

Either way, I'm excited to be here & look forward to hopefully meeting/talking with some of you.

I'm sure there is always room for a new group, especially in McKinney, Sherman, Gainesville, Denton area...but there are plenty in DFW area in general.  HEre is a list of a few of them.

Please note I am not affiliated in any way with any of the groups other than that I have attended some of their meetings/presentations. Many groups during Covid have switched to online only or a combination of online/in person events. Many now getting back to live events. These groups are often in flux about where they meet, when they meet, how often they meet, so this is meant to be a general resource.

NTAREI- https://ntarei.com/ Normally meets about 2x a month in North Dallas at the Holiday Inn at Preston and LBJ NE corner. Some vendors present. Probably 20-120 in attendance depending on the topic. Meeting is normally on Thursday nights, occasionally on Tuesdays, and some full day Saturday seminars. Could be in person or online. Organizer is Roger.

Texas Tuesday DFW Real Estate Mastermind- https://ttdfwrem.com/ ...used to meet at Venture X in Lewisville, but seems to have moved to Ft. Worth. Great energy with this group. Tends to attract a younger /trendy crowd. Location could change.   Used to be on 1st Tuesday of the month, but has occasionally met on different days.

1REClub- http://jimmyvreed.com/network/... Fort Worth based with the organizer Jimmy Reed. Traditionally has met at Best Western Suites, 2000 Beach St., Fort Worth, Texas 76103 on Thursday nights.

DFW REI Club – dfwreiclub.com – Meets about 2x-4x month, normally on Saturday morning from about 9am-12noon at Manhattan Plaza 6850 Manhattan Blvd, Suite 205 Fort Worth, TX 76120. Seems like about 20-50 people present when I have attended. Organizer is Robin Carriger...super nice and knowledgeable guy.

IMPACT LIVE- www.impactreievents.com Meets about once a month in various places around Grapevine, Denton. Typically on the 4th Monday of the month in the evening about 7pm. Organizer is Sherry Patterson. I’ve been and there was a great group of people there...about 40 or so and a handful of vendors. May have other locations as well.

IMPACT Live Arlington- https://www.meetup.com/impactarlington/ Dennis Henson’s original group in a new form.

Novice Investors Club was Texas Investors Club- https://www.meetup.com/novicer... - Meets several times a month in Carrollton or Grapevine. Organizer is Michelle Landry.

Dallas and Ft. Worth REIG- https://www.dallasreig.com Organizer is Joe Boston. This has been a popular group for a very long time. Mostly meets on Saturday mornings.

Lifestyles Unlimited - https://lifestylesunlimited.co... - a membership only group but certainly adds lots of value for their members. There can be big costs to join this group, but if you follow the system and need a lot of mentorship, it might be worth the investment. Nice way to move up into syndications once you have a nice capital reserve.

Dallas REIA Live - https://dallas-reia.com/ -Meets about once a month in Dallas and Grapevine. Organizer is Shenoah Grove.

Quest - https://www.questtrustcompany.... Meets about 1-2x per month. Often on Wednesdays at 12noon. Specializing in how to use your investment accounts to invest. So get your 401k and HSA and other self directed accounts ready. Plenty of online meetings as well.

MLSIQ- https://realestateiq.co/ meets mostly online right now 1-2x week. Variety of topics with different experts.

West DFW REI Group- https://www.westdfwreigroup.com/ Check their online calendar for meeting times. Some Tues/Thurs/Saturdays.

REI Connections DFW- https://www.facebook.com/groups/172353131007199 Meets 1st Saturday of the month 8am.

The Dallas Event- https://www.instagram.com/theeventpresents/ Several times a year...normally 5pm-till close. Virgin Hotel. Great speakers..plenty of networking.

Total Wealth Academy- https://totalwealthacademy.com/ Houston based group. Former Lifestyles trainer Steve Davis has started this and has some Dallas trainings and meetings periodically. Full day class was probably one of the best I’ve seen and great value.

Roddy Round Up- https://roddy.com/roddy-event/ Back in action after a few years of hiatus. Currently meeting in Flower Mound about 1x/month. Organizer is Curtis Roddy.

    Thank you to everyone that attended last night! It was great meeting you all. Sorry to those that were cut out, as my long arms weren’t quite long enough to get everyone :)


    I think we will be creating a sign up for the next one. Keep an eye out for that post.

    Can someone PM Juan's info? I can't find his business card and need to have him do a quote.

    Hi Daniel,

    A meet up sounds like a great idea! I will be moving to Dallas this month and I’m looking for a house hack or investment property. I just sent you a connection about updates for the meet up.

    Looking forward to it!

    Best,

    Nia

    I'm looking at the date of November 8 from 6:30-8:30, and using the second Tuesday as our standing date/ time. Sidecar has a $750 room mimimum, which is pretty steep without knowing what our regular group looks like. We can meet in the open space, but it makes it difficult to do much discussing. Anyone have other locations they's like to share?

    Hi everyone! I was able to secure a permanent location for our meetup going forward. It will be the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30-8:30. The first hour will be networking. There will be a $10 cost to cover the room and light snacks. Here's the link https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

    Hey Daniel,

    My business partner and I host a monthly meetup on the first Saturday of every month at 8AM. It is a casual meetup where you can mingle and interact with others who invest in real estate as well and we try to help each other set and meet our individual goals. Our next meetup will be on 1/7 with the location TBD but usually we meet at one of our Airbnb properties that we own within the Dallas area. I can let you know as soon as we have determined the location.

    Hi Daniel, 

    That's always exciting! The BP podcasts and books are always beneficial. 

    We are based in Austin, Texas, but would love to connect.
