If you can make it, I'd be happy to introduce you to other people in my network that will be there.
Besides, this one, there are a lot of other meetups on varying investing topics. The one I just mentioned is a very casual mix and mingle so you can talk to a bunch of different people, newbies and pros alike. What type of investing are you currently doing or looking to do? I'm a real estate wholesaler in Los Angeles county and I find discounted properties for fix and flip as well as buy and hold investors. PM or colleague add me if you're interested in getting in touch.
