I live in the Buffalo, NY (Amherst) area. I joined BP a couple months ago but have been sitting on the sidelines allowing me fear to hold me back. This post is just one of the steps I am taking to leave my comfort zone and participate more in conversation and to get my face out there. I would like to meet with any of the local rehabbers, landlords, and other local investors for coffee and get to know the faces in the business around here. I know there is the WNYREIA that meets once a month, and I do plan on attending that. I would love to meet outside of that time though, especially since a Wednesday night is not always the most convenient. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend and I look forward to building great relationships with you all!

Hi James,
I have been looking for a REI group in Buffalo, but haven't found anything, so was taking steps to start one.
I recently attended a seminar where I met a few others who are also interested, plus, there's been some interest here in BP in the last week.
I was thinking of something as simple as a meeting at a local restaurant.
Let's connect and see if we can get something started.

I'm in Buffalo also, this sounds like a great idea. We just started also and wanted to start networking. We build websites and as a second stream of income we are looking at wholesaling.

Hi @Account Closed I'm pretty much in the same position as you. Not so much fear holding back as wanting more knowledge and making sure I understand all things I need. I hope to be jumping in soon. I am also looking to meet contractors, agents, lawyers, CPS's and other people to build out my network to help make my investing successful and also for everyone involved to be making money. I'd definitely be interested in meeting up and discussing these things. I consider other investors to be resources rather than competition. I am hoping the market is big enough for us all.

There are several local REI groups in Buffalo I know of off the top of my head. One is the BP group that meets monthly, do a search on here for its info, the other is WNY REI that also meets once a month with speakers, that one a google search should find for you.
