Hello All, I'm curious if there are any local meet ups on Long Island ny. I'm currently investing in the Albany area, would just like to network, learn, and share what I've learned so far.
I'd be interested in attending an in-person or virtual meet up also. I live in Seaford, NY and have been searching for areas outside of LI to do my next deal. Any way I can help facilitate a meet up of like minded individuals, please let me know!

Hey all, I will be more then happy to set something up. If you guys can just give me a week or so ( wife and I just had baby #2 ), I will set up a virtual meet up and look into doing one in person about a month out from now. I will post it on this thread. Thanks
@Ryan Washer Congrats on Baby #2! My wife and I had our second a few months ago now.
Once you get settled, I would love to join the meeting as well (whether virtual or in-person). I have a portfolio of SFR out of state, but I am looking to start doing some deals on LI and want to build my network up here.
Please let me know as well if you are starting a group for people on Long Island. I have also just started a new Meetup group on Long Island, Real Estate Rocks. I’ve joined some of these before & they often feel like sales pitches or marketing ploys, but I won’t be pumping people for information or trying to make a mailing list or any of that. This one will be informal & on Zoom to start but I’d like it to be in person once things normalize.
Our first event may be geared toward beginners but I’d like to have discussions at all levels & all different topics.
It will only be 40 minutes long max, because that’s what my Zoom account is set up for.
See our announcement on Bigger Pockets here:
https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
I’ll be discussing some of the most common questions people have about real estate. Feel free to bring any question you have or ideas for topics you’d like to hear about, whether for novices or advanced investors. If you or anyone you know would like to join us as a participant or presenter, please contact me via the Meetup site or message me on Bigger Pockets.
We have a local networking group on Long Island, we meet in person every month & it's a good place to get to know people & get referrals. We plan to meet in January, will post it on Bigger Pockets Events once the place & time are set.
LIREIA hosts at least one meet-up event every month on Long Island. We also do zoom calls and workshops 4-5 times a month, and offer different programs for both beginner and experienced investors.
@Christopher Corso Christopher, I completely agree that there are a lot of meetups that are really thinly veiled sales pitches. For that reason (& other reasons like no one was meeting even online), I started Real Estate Rocks. I don't allow any infomercial-style sales pitches at our meetings
(ok, it might not be that bad but I just imagine some events being like an informercial!)
We have an event this Saturday Feb 12, 2022, you can check out the Bigger Pockets page for it here:
There is a $5.00 contribution which you can do in cash at the meeting as well, it doesn't come close to covering the cost of the space but I may be able to get another space shortly. If you have any questions feel free to contact me directly if you like.
Any upcoming meetings? Also looking to build a solid Long Island based team (Agent, contractor, lender). Anyone have any good referrals for any of these sources that are geared toward or accommodate investors? Nassau/Suffolk bases. Thanks in advance!
