New Meetup for RE investors/Landlords

New Meetup for RE investors/Landlords

Property Manager · Charlotte, NC · Member since 2012 · 135 posts · 156 votes

Hello all.  I'm just coming back to BP after having worked for another company the last five years.  I'm trying to ramp business back up.  I've been working so hard, I haven't taken time to relax.  I've attended some investor related Meetups recently and thought it was a good idea.  I decided to combine some work with pleasure.  I enjoy a nice cigar, strong drink, and good conversation.  So why not combine a few of my favorite things?  

I formed my own Meetup, designed to bring like minded investors together.  This is not a Meetup where anyone will try to sell you on a program or try to enlist you to do their dirty work.  I honestly just want to relax with others in a comfortable setting and share stories.  Maybe you had a bad experience with a terrible tenant.  Maybe you want to brag about your latest flip.  Maybe you want to ask more experienced investors some questions that have been nagging you .  The point is to relax and enjoy the company.  There is no agenda or itinerary.  That being said, maybe we can all make some good contacts for our own Real Estate team.  

Here's a link to the Meetup.  It will be held at Cigars Etc. 2 on Monroe Rd.  on the second Thursday each month, from 6 until...?  The cigar bar offers $5 liquor drinks on Thursday.  Everyone is welcome.

Hi Steve, I'm interested in attending one of these.  I work just around the corner off of Sardis Rd N. Any chance after hosting at a non-smoking joint in the future?  I'm working hard to purchase my first rental property... would love to chat with some other investors in the south Charlotte area. Thanks!

    Hi Steve ... I'm relatively new to the game but would be interested in attending as well.  You guys still planning on meeting Aug 9th? Thanks!

    Hey @Josh Lyons.  Thanks for the interest.  Yes, you are very close to the location.  It's a bit of a "hole in the wall", but everyone I've met there is very welcoming.  Last meeting, they were grilling out ribs for the patrons.  Part of my concept for establishing the Meetup was to relax and unwind by having a drink and a smoke.  I will say that although you can definitely tell people are smoking, they do have a lot of  air purifiers, so it is not smoke-filled.  My girlfriend does not like smoke, and she says it's not bad in here even when the place is full.  We can also move things out on to the outside deck if weather is decent.  I wouldn't let the smoke be a reason not to try it once.  I hope you will make it  on August 9th.

    Hey @Dan Handford.  Sorry I did not see your reply sooner.  I hope you will be able to register now.  We would love to have you come out tomorrow night, even if you can't register.  I'm not sure why you have that problem with the site.  I will look in to it.  Yes, in spite of the upcoming storm, we still plan to meet.  Consider it a hurricane party, LOL.

    Thanks @Jim K..  As it turns out, we will be cancelling the Meetup tomorrow.  I figured most people will be preparing and worrying about the upcoming storm.  School is out Friday, so I will be able to pick my son up Thursday.  I hope you will be able to attend next month.
