A Newbie's attempt to break Ice!

[Dhanush Kondoth]

Hello Fellow BP-ian,

I shouldn't say this is my first post or member introduction as I have already started other forums and contacted/met with some PROs here.

I am from Dublin, Ohio and just started to get my feet wet in investing. I am going through the phase of gobbling up information from podcast/blog/forums and I am kind of started to be on auto-pilot at home and sometimes at dinner parties as I am thinking of REI at the back of my mind (it sometimes sucks but I guess it's part of the process).

The only experience I have in real estate is - owning my primary residence = "asset" and probably the thousand miles I racked up on MileIQ just visiting properties, driving for dollars meeting other people etc.

I am interested in primarily buy and hold SFRs and probably in flipping few SFRs as I go to pay my rentals off or reinvest.

I was thinking of organizing a meetup in Columbus for the sake of me and all the newbies in Columbus. I was thinking of April 15th Friday evening 6PM-ish. We can even invite @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin as our main speakers :) if the response is decent, I will look into a venue and let everyone know in a day or 2. 

This could be a good opportunity for the experienced PROs to may be off load some of their knowledge as well as some of their portfolio to the newbies, by signing a contract on a napkin :).

Please let me know what you guys think!

Dhanush
