Bigger Pockets Changes Lives!!!!

[Shelly F.]

I just wanted to let you know that Bigger Pockets changes lives!  

I went to an investor meeting last night and got to meet some of the BP members and successful producers in person....Wendell De Guzman was the guest speaker, and for FREE he shared his incredible wisdom, tips, tools & advice for success in Wholesaling.  Hosted by Tanis Group Realty, the night was a true success of education and VALUABLE information sharing, and of course, networking, cookies and coffee! :)

No pressure, no Guru-tactics, just authentic, experienced professionals willing to share knowledge, info & contacts.  Wendell De Guzman is as professional, energetic and strategic in his approach in person as he is here in the forums and in his BP podcast (check it out!).

Just wanted to share this newbie's experience from last night...feeling energized and excited about the possibilities in this industry, and about the wealth of great people and information-sharing here on the Bigger Pockets site.  Stay tuned for more from this hungry and determined newbie in Chicago! :)

Thanks for the kind words @Shelly F.

Last night was pretty cool. About 60% of the audience was from BP.

Good work @Joe Mueller of Tanis Realty for putting it together.

@Brandon Turner said that networking is crucial in success in real estate. It has to be part of your "psyche" or your personality.

The properties, buyers or cash you're looking for to do real estate is with someone else. So you're potentially one or 2 phone calls away from getting what you need.

 Last night is a good example of the power of networking. I've met 2 cash buyers, 1 potential property provider and 1 private lender (who came all the way from Indianapolis - a 4-hour drive just to hear me speak).
