I am new to real estate investing and would like to start here in Gainesville Florida. I've been to a REIA meeting in Ocala, but was hoping for something closer to me here in Gainesville. Does anyone host meetings here locally?

investing in property in Gainesville? and/or investors residing Gainesville + investing anywhere?

For investing-in-Gainesville-property, I'd be interested in figures on the employer base--i.e., evidence that it's not over reliant on University of Florida

I operate a STR in in Gainesville and a vast majority of the travelers come for other reasons besides UF. I just grossed $6300+ last month on a 270k property which is a pretty solid return.

As far as meet ups, there is one hosted at world of beer.  Shoot me a message and I will connect you with Jennifer who is a local realtor and I believe helps organize the meet up.

Hi Wesley, I'm looking into investing in the Gainesville markets as well. Let me know if you would like to talk about strategies as rookies. I just joined the Facebook page as well. Thanks!

The next meet up is October 19th starting at 5:45/6. The most recent meeting this past Thursday was held at Swamphead Brewery. There’ll be an update prior to the 19th to clarify if it’ll also be at Swamphead or another location.

Hi Shawn, I am finding a realtor in Gainesville, FL. Can you contact me ? I tried to reach you through “Find an agent” tap on Bigger Pockets web but it doesn’t work.
