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. :)

I'm a newbie and I'm also super interested! Doing some traveling for work right now and won't "officially" be back until early March, but I'll definitely be back home in between that time. Would love to join and connect with you guys. Keep me updated on when the meet ups are happening :)

I am a Miami (33138) native and would love to be able to listen to and share ideas with you guys.
I currently live in the Bay Area, but I am very much looking to invest in SFL. I used to know and understand the neighborhoods in South Florida very well. I also held a Florida real estate license for a couple of years. Let me know!

Hi BP Friends!
It looks like this thread kind of went quiet. But, it seems that there are still a few people interested in starting this meet-up again.
I am also interested and would be happy to volunteer my GoToMeeting account to get things started. We can start with a video conference and then figure out if we want to move to a physical location later on. With GTM you can join by phone computer or tablet (really just about any device). If you have a web cam, that's great! You can share your screen if you want. We can make the most of the virtual meeting space! If not, you can join by phone or by computer with no web cam. If you are interested @ me on this thread or DM me!
Just figured out how to @ mention people!! So adding the people who showed interest in this thread recently. If you would like to join a video conference meeting to discuss REI topics, let me know. See my post earlier today for details. You can connect with my profile on BP and send me a Direct Message with your availability and I will try to setup a meeting time that everyone can join.

We had a couple people join the virtual meet up yesterday. I am going to try keep this going to see if we can get some more participation... So I have added a Sunday time slot. Now, Every Wednesday @ 730p and every Sunday @ 7pm, I will leave the meeting open for 30 minutes and if nobody joins, I will just shut it down. No pressure, come and go as you please. Hope to see you there!

This is long overdue but I’ve attended one of these virtual meetings and it was awesome! I hope everyone who showed interest in this post are still on board. It’s so valuable to meet together, share experiences/ideas, & network in general. I’ll definitely be joining in again. Hope to see a lot you as well

I'm definitely down -- Pls include me in the next meet up. I'm in Plantation and will be moving to Miami Lakes in the weeks ahead. I just got out of the corporate world and ready to transition into real estate.
