Greetings-
We have recently moved back to Western Wisconsin after living in Boulder, CO for 6 years. There is no REIA in the area here and I know there are many investors throughout the area with 3 universities in the city & a solid local economy. I have 2 duplexes and am renovating the house my wife and I will be moving into early 2018. My family has 40 years of property management experience and I have a number of friends and contacts who have various interests and activity levels in the space.
Starting a REIA is something that I'm interested in undertaking and have heard it referenced many times in the podcast and also across the forums. I would love any insight that anyone has about how to get one started, a solid place to host, how to spread the word and also how to get a solid crew of active investors and not just people slogging for funding first deals.
Our September meeting of the Western Wisconsin and La Crosse REAI will be Wednesday, September 12 from 7:00-8:30pm in room 2100 of the new Student Union on the campus of UW-L. I hope to see you there!
I'm happy to find a local meet-up! I live just south of Rushford, MN, which is about 34 miles south of Winona. I had planned on attending the September meeting but ran into a scheduling issue. Could someone update me on how it went?
Happy November. We are less than a week away from our next western Wisconsin and La Crosse area REIAmeeting. Our next meeting will be Wednesday, November 14, starting at 7:00 pm in room 2100 of the Student Union at UW-L. I will cross-post elsewhere. I hope to see you next week!
Just found this thread. My boyfriend and I have just begun our real estate investing in La Crosse, WI and I was wondering if this was still going own. We own 3 properties between us and are working on number 4 and 5.
@Alexandria Divine, yes! We still meet however we have shifted to a virtual zoom call instead of in-person these days. Our next one is Nov 11th @ 11:30. Shoot me an email (in my profile) and I'll get you an invite. Can't wait to hear more about you and your journey in RE investing!
