In addition to the REIAs and REIC meets we should all be going to, I was thinking of setting up a meet up for just us SoFlo Newbies. It's a good chance to meet more fellow BPers over some brews. We can share our newby experiences, trials, hardships, and successes and just make some new friends! We all know it can be intimidating out here as first timers, so what better way than to connect with a bunch of us on the same level! One thing I've learned so far, it's been extremely motivating meeting like-minded people with the same energy, drive, and passion.
I saw some interest in another Ft. Lauderdale meetup post, but I don't think it really panned out. So If anyone in this SoFlo area is interested, just comment below if you're interested, and even a good place to go if you have a suggestion. Invite your friends, family, pastor, dog, whoever. Let's just have a good relaxed time.
If we get any feedback, I'll set something up. Funky Buddah?

Hey Mitchell!
Great idea! I've been wanting the same thing!
&You know you can count me in! How about starting a weekly or monthly meet up?
I've connected with newbies all over the place but I really want to form or be in a power group in South Florida. Right now there's a group of REI that meet up at Del Rey Beach and along time about there was a group doing a meet up/s at MIA Brewery.
But a meet up for newbies would be nice. I think it will be even better to meet up with a purpose in sharing brilliant ideas and brainstorming. We need passion driven people with a desire to succeed!
Just to throw some ideas out and we don't have to do all of these....
Meet up 1 day a week,
Make a Facebook group,
Have a group chat,
Video chat 1 day a week,
.... To keep constant communication and hold each other accountable. :)
Hey i know i'm a little late lol..... but i'm down for a meet up! It's tough being surrounded by people i've known for years but none of them are into Real Estate. I need to meet more like minded people!

Hey everyone, I've been a member for a few years, but haven't been active much since I graduated. I'm somewhat of a newbie as well, and I think it would be great meeting up with like minded people in different stages of their careers. Count me in!

This is great, we got a LOT of great feedback! Will put up an official meetup date and time very soon. Right now we're looking at end of August, maybe into the first week or so of September just so we can get everyone in on our first meet. But thanks again everyone for commenting in and messaging me. This feels like the start of something great! Can't wait to meet and grow with everyone.

Hello Everyone. +Newbie here.. Been to a real estate seminar last July and since then has been so eager to learn whatever is out there. I do not have any experience whatsoever. Im in the healthcare and would like to start shifting to something else. The meet ups sounds great and I want to learn as much as I can. Pls teach me.. I hope I am not too late for any groupings..
Someone has posted here about those gatherings. I think its a great idea. Hope to make it in one of those.

Hey @RJ Figueroa! Welcome to REI. We have had one meetup so far and it went Great! We should be putting another one together in the coming weeks. We had some pretty good informal conversations the last time so I'd expect nothing less from the next. I hope to see you and everyone else really soon. Stay tuned and suggest the next time and place.

Thank you, Mr Saunders. Thank you, thank you for the welcome. Kindly update me to any meet up. I am usually available towards the weekend. Excited to be present in those good informal conversations. Hope to meet everyone present.
I'd like to join in on the next meet up. I'm in Fort Lauderdale too... if you guys like beer Invasive Species is a cool little place for a second meet up... or LauderAle.
I'd also like to join the next meetup since I was not able to make it to the first one. Thanks for the update, I will be on the lookout for the next get together!
Hi All. I am a new member here and would like to get more involved, meet more people who are starting out like me, etc. A meet-up in Broward would be great. I would love to be a part of the next meeting. Invasive Species would be a good place to meet too. Phil and Josh are friends of mine so I would be happy to reach out and set something up.

Hey everyone!
I apologize for my absence and delay with responses regarding the next meetup, but I recently finalized that I will be moving to California next month, so I've been pretty occupied.
Like @Robert Saunders said, our last meetup was full of great conversations with like minded people with lots of tips and inspiration to share. I'm sure the next one will be even better!
I believe we can continue growing so new and experienced investors/wholesalers alike in our area have a place to network, learn, share, and succeed together... And I want a meetup to visit every time I come back down to Florida!
@Leo Jurado@Sarah Torres @Robert @Nik Mebane@Tim Kanak Invasive Species looks great. I may be able to join if we do one Nov 15/16. But if not, don't let me hold this back. Let's make it happen!

Hello everyone, I too am new to BP and real estate investing. I would like to meet people who are also in the same situation. Please keep me posted on the next meet up.
Lets see if we can put something together for Friday November 16. Meeting at Invasive Species or LauderAles would be ideal. If anyone has other suggestions for locations feel free to chime in.
