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. :)

@Jon Huber Have room for more? Would be interested on the details behind this. I reside in W Hollywood, but can certainly make that drive. Sadly, PB Gardens is a bit far of a drive with a gas guzzling truck.

I would simply like to inform you of a group that you might not know about. We have meetings every week, along with trainings, house tours etc., and we consist of everything from total newbies to seasoned investors who have done hundreds of deals. This is a very unique approach to real estate, one that essentially has three approaches...we offer over 400 hours of top-notch education taught by people who actually make their living doing what they teach, a marketing arm for those of you who enjoy that, and the formation of local communities of investors that acts as a support system for encouragement and teamwork. This seems to be exactly what many of you are looking for.
There is nothing else like what we do out there that I am aware of, and I've been in real estate for over 45 years. It will be worth your while to at least check us out. That costs nothing and could make a real difference for you. It does require registration, so please contact me privately for further information. Thanks, and good luck with finding something that suits you. How the new Information Age economy offers you opportunity that has only happened once before in this country.

Lived in Fort Lauderdale for 14 years. My medical problems and the problems because my wife had a stroke, the same year, made us hand over the keys, and we moved to Illinois where the family is. Anyway, wishing I knew THEN what I know now, I am still interested in the South Florida area. Please update me with the Broward County REI info as you can, and I will have somewhere else to go than Flanagan's on my way to my Key West buddies!
And YES, I intend to buy back the home I lost someday. This is just the tip of the iceberg!
Merry Christmas. If anyone is going to be in Tallahassee close to FSU, around Jan 12th, send me a note, and I will share with you how nice it was this morning to get up to 8 degrees and 30mph winds! My oldest is getting married that weekend in Talahassee! She didn't want to move to Illinois because, as she put it, "Dad, there's SNOW up there"!

Hi, recently discovered and join the BP community and saw this posting on monthly meet ups. Are these meetups still open to newcomers? If so, when and where, would love to meet up some folks to exchange some knowledge.

Let me know what you think!
I think that’s an excellent idea and a group that id want to be a part of. Accountability will give the whole real estate investing world some fire and momentum. Count me in!
Our monthly "Coffee With Investors" meetup is this Saturday in Delray Beach! Search the events for time and location... or reach out if you still can't find it. See you all there!
