Starting a Meet-up Groups in Los Angeles

Hey Guys,

I have noticed that the closest meetup events for The Greater Los Angeles Area are always in Riverside. I want something closer to my areas of operation (military term) and I have found 2 locations I can use. One in Downtown LA, and the other in Culver City. (2 more possibilities is Hollywood & The Valley)

    Wanted to see if any other members here would be interested in participating? I have found that too many groups are just way too pitchy or are trying to sell some MLM nonsense that is not even related to Real Estate.

      If this sounds like something you are interested in please leave a comment stating with the following information below. I will start to calendar some dates.

      1. Area, 
      2. Day(s) of the week you can meet up
      3. Frequency you'd like to meet

        Looking forward to meeting up with you all soon.

          Best,

          Ruddy

          Hi @Ruddy Anthony Salazar

          There is a free BP meetup in Santa Monica the second Saturday of every month.  It's not sales pitchy at all.
           

          It starts at 11am and goes for a couple of hours.  Don't forget to bring your business cards because there's a lot of opportunity to network there.  It's located at 

          The UnUrban Cafe, 3301 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica

          Hope to see you there!

          Khoa

            I'd be interested in the Culver area as well (or anything on the west side during the week)!

            If you get enough interest for the SFV, let me know (for weekdays).

            If we get the SFV meetup going, would you be interested in being one of our first speakers?

I鈥檓 looking for off-market properties. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday seem to be best and Sunday also works for me. Once a month or how about a webinar group call? No fighting traffic!

            That is an interesting idea, I will see if that is something we can setup.

            I live in Culver City and would love to find a meet up like this that would suit my interests.  I have one rental so far (3/2 on Kauai, HI) and would love to discuss strategies in this crazy market.

             That is certainly a possibility, schedule and logistics permitting.

            I live in Downey, which is close to DTLA. I'm available to meet after work or on weekends. I currently have class on Tues./Thurs ( i'm still a student :) ). I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

            Thx Jerry/one and all... I am a new real estate investor with holdings but want to join the BP community to learn, grow, succeed and one day, foster others.  Culver City is best for me. Mon-Wed nights, Sat mornings ideal.  Did Culver City come together ?  Does South LA include Inglewood ?

            Great thread! I work in Downtown and live in Highland Park so I am open to anywhere within a few miles of those areas. As long as there's a date in advance, can do most days during the week. I work in both the Downtown and Highland Park office so we may have two possible venues for meetups if those areas interest a majority. Keep us posted!

            Hi Ruddy, I am based in the South Bay (Redondo Beach/Torrance), but either Westside or DTLA could work - Thursdays are my best day, but given a few weeks notice I"d love to come to anything you set up. Thanks for arranging this.

            In Culver City, but could also do Downtown.  Once per month sounds good. Flexible on Days.  Looking forward to it.

            Hello All,

            Just checking in.  This thread is 8 months old, has anyone met in LA as result?  Did I miss it?   My original vote was for DTLA.

            @Ruddy Anthony Salazar I would also be interested in your meet up.  I'm in Thousand Oaks (@Paul Aguilar we are nearly neighbors), so the valley would be great.  

            Weekends are good, but once the new year hits I will be traveling every other weekend until May.  Tuesday's & Wednesday's work well for me, but will attend whatever I can if other days are chosen.  Once or twice a month would be great.

            Thank you for getting the ball rolling on a closer, non-pitchy meeting.
