I've lived (off and on) in the city for 40 years. Grew up in MD.

    I occasionally attend reimw.com's meeting. It is near the Forrest Glenn metro. I also attend a BP meetup in Gaithersburg. I have attended the BLINDFOLDS REIA and Traction REIA in the past as well.

    I'm a 15 veteren in RE investment as investor, sales agent, attorney, title & escrow in Utah. Been splitting time lately between Salt Lake and DC. Will be relocating to DC in the next few months. Glad to hear there are some good REIAs. I'm on the board of two excellent ones here and do a lot of education for them. Excited to get to know the DC REIA market. Hope it's as involved, and evolved, as the ones here.

    @Jeffrey S. Breglio Do you know yet what part of the DC area you will be relocating to?

    @Jeffrey S. Breglio All good choices. Brookland is one of the few descent parts of the city that you can get a detached home at a "reasonable" price if you want something detached.  I put reasonable in quotes, because a lot of people who move here are not prepared for the prices.  14th & U will offer lots of access to entertainment, bars and restaurants.  The 14th Street corridor from K to about U is sort of the center of the hip places to be now. I use to live down that way and miss it quite a bit.

    @Jeffrey S. Breglio anyone else aware of any meetups that are actually IN the District, rather than out in the burbs?

     Hey Justin the only one I can think of that probably does meetups in DC is Sherman Ragland's group. I'm not sure though, I've never been to any of his events, I know he has some in MD as well.

    @Justin Cook I'm in the same boat and looking for other meetups in the city. I attended a meetup in Columbia Heights about a month ago run by @JasonCohen and his partner in Columbia Heights. They should be having another one shortly after the new year. I'll try and link more details back in this thread when it's announced. Keep me posted if you discover anything as well.

    @Justin Cook, this is the meetup in Columbia Heights hosted by @Jason Cohen that I was referring to. I definitely recommend checking it out as it's been tremendously helpful for me.

    Thanks @Patrick Reilley, that's significantly more convenient than an Uber ride to the burbs!

    Thank you @Patrick Reilly and @Jason Cohen I just moved to DC from Chicago and Im looking for a consistent meet up group.  The Chicago BP meet up would meet every third Tueday of the month and was GREAT, this sounds similar, can't wait to meet everyone.

    Hi @Damien Hall. 

    There are over 20 real estate investing Meetups in our region alone (and counting). Some are high quality and some are...meh. 

    I keep a list of all the groups in the area - email me and I'm happy to send it to you. 

    I started tracking them because I, too, wanted to get involved and it was overwhelming to keep up with "what was what."

    Also, I started a small morning rei coffee group of my own since it's a better time for me and most groups meet in the evening. I can send you details on that as well. 

    The best thing to do is start showing up to events and see which groups feel like a good fit for you. I find that I reap at least one nugget of value or new connection from each one I attend (whether I plan to go regularly or not). 

    Hope this helps. 

    ~ Jessica

    Jessica, are you still in DC and any chance you could send me the list of groups in DC?
