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 had meet James before he seemed like a good guy. I don't know him well just a quick hello at a meet and greet. He used to be with MIP. I did see that he was hosting an event last week as well. With the BBQ contest in town it was a great time to have folks in.
Congrats on the firsts property. Getting the first one down it so important. Doesn’t have to be a home run just getting over the hump of taking action helps you get comfortable with the process.

Best way to find meetups is to check events on the website. Click on menu then network then events. There are quite a few in South FL this month. If you setup a meet remember to post it there so we get the option for all to find easily.
I haven’t found where this is on the APP. I like the APP but for somethings I find using the site over the APP is just better. I tend to just leave a tab open on my phone.
If anyone is interested in having a meetup on 07/06, respond here. Also open to other dates. Seems like we have several people that want to get together. Can start with a meet and greet and see if it expands from there.
