Is there a meetup for those interested in the Montgomery or Bucks county area? If not, is there anyone out there that would be interested in getting one started? Please reply if your in the area and would be willing to meet. I'm an agent and investor in the area and looking to network.
Check out DIG (Diversified Investor's Group, www.digonline.org). The main meeting is in Ambler and there are additional subgroup meetings every month. There is specifically a Bux/Mont Sub Group which non-members can attend one time for free. Check out the event calendar on the website.

Hello,

Hello all. I'll follow up on @Steve Babiak's suggestion to check out DIG meetings. I think that anytime you can meet up with a group of investors that are further along on the path you seek, obviously there's a tremendous opportunity. I've expressed interest in this meetup for that reason... the chance to learn from and meet others with similar interests and maybe even share some of my experiences and knowledge (limited as they may be)!
That said, DIG is a tremendous organization that offers this opportunity many times each month. Most monthly general meetings, attended by hundreds of investors, host a different speaker with real-world knowledge and a ton of experience. Low cost full-day classes are regularly offered, and the local monthly meetings (20-50 folks) provide the more intimate setting some may seek. At the most recent Montco sub-group meeting, we heard from an attorney representing banks at sheriff sales that took time to answer all our questions and provide solid advice for researching and buying foreclosed real estate. The last general meeting focused on house inspections from an investors perspective, and the prior hosted a speaker with over 600 wholesale deals in the books. At about $140 per yr (tax write off) with multiple learning chances like these per month, I can't imagine a better value for your money.
I'll continue to follow this thread and try to attend if/when a meeting happens, but I will also be attending at least one of these types of meetings every month through DIG.

Thanks for the info on DIG. Hopefully someone can benefit from the info. I'm not interested in that type of group. I'm looking for a smaller intimate group and really get to know the people involved. I'm also not looking for classes or any type of lectures. Nor do I feel the need to pay to meet with like minded individuals. I'm sure it's great, but that's not what I'm looking to build hear in this meetup.

Finally made it to a DIG meeting and can weigh in.
Overall, would recommend it to anyone in the area. There were small break out sessions, a n00b educational session, and then a general panel of candid folks that are all active investors. Tons of opportunities to network on a personal level before, during, and after. I was there for an hour and a half afterwards talking with investors in my market.
What I haven't tried out yet are the sub groups. There are sub groups for a bunch of different niches in addition to area subs. The crazy thing is that there is a sub meeting available just about every other day.
I have no affiliation nor benefit from DIG in any way. Just want people to be informed so they don't drag their feet getting to a meeting like I did and missing the wealth of information and networking.

I am in Bucks but interested in the Bucks/Montgomery area as well. Not sure how many of you are from Bucks but it would be nice to meet somewhere in between if that's OK with everyone.

Digging up this old thread in hopes to get a meeting on the books. A date, time and place were the hang up last time. So this time I have a venue to have everyone, for free, and once I have some interest I set a date and time a few weeks out so people can prepare to attend. Mention me in your reply and I'll mark you down as attending. Thanks, looking forward to meet some new like minded individuals.
