Is there a NYC BP meet-up? I saw that there was one back in August, and then the one I attended a couple of weeks back, but I'm not sure if it has been steady in New York. If not, please let me know if anyone in the NY area would be interested in having one started on a monthly or bi-monthly basis.
I would be happy to take the lead in organizing it - I don't know the first thing about what needs to be done - but I don't mind doing the legwork in finding out. I can also ask some members from other cities what they are doing.

@Darren Sagger organized the last one not long ago. Brandon Turner was there as well. I'm not sure why I can't tag them, but look up Darren and shoot him a message and he will likely have the info you are looking for.

Thanks so much @Jason Eyerly. I was at the last BP meet-up in NYC with @Brandon Turner and @Darren Sager but I haven't seen a steady one in NYC, and that's what I'm looking for.

I am also looking to go to meetings and make connections. I live in Queens and missed the meeting earlier this year and am very eager to meet fellow members.

Here's a link to the last event. Next one tentatively scheduled for April 15. We're going for second Tuesday of each month however with Tax Day we're pushing it off a week so that more can attend. Official announcement coming soon.

@Darren Sager or @Jonathan Makovsky - Was looking for a steady NYC meet-up, was not able to find in "Events and Happenings" section. I am part of Aug 19th meet-up, but looking for a more steady kind of gatherings.

Apologies @Darren Sager . I was thinking the NYC meet-up which is scheduled for Aug 19th, is not recurring. But thanks for correcting me, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Hi BP Friends -
I'm a new investor in Brooklyn and see that there have been some meetups a while back. Would love to get together with other investors in the area if there's interest.

Forming a general meet up group that can meet on a regular basis maybe 1-2 times a month would be great. I think consistency is more important that frequency if we could start doing it once a month that would be great, and depending on the level of interest can increase frequency or break out subgroups for different Boroughs, I myself live in Queens and wouldn't mind starting Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island subgroups for example but let's start with the general NYC group and see how it goes?
Would like to do something similar to what Ann Bellamy did in Massachusetts, she talks about it in one of the podcasts,
Would like to create a group that is informational, and conducive to networking so we all do more deals and make more money, with NO selling speakers, gurus, or any other hard sells.
Would like to see the level of interest and maybe we can get a few organizers together to plan something out...

If you wouldn't mind the company of a newbie hasn't done a deal yet and is still working on his REI education, then I'd like to attend too.
We'd like to franchise Black Diamond nationwide, and make lots of money selling the franchise rights.
Oh, but wait. Our business model for Black Diamond is a cost center and doesn't make a profit, so I guess we wouldn't get much for the local franchises, huh? Bummer. I guess we'll just have to settle for doing more deals. :-)
