Is there a Local Real Estate Networking Group in Niagara, ON?

Question

New and looking to connect, learn and grow! BP is amazing but I would love to attend/meet some local investors where I live in Niagara, Ontario, Canada. Does anyone here know of a networking group for real estate investors anywhere between Niagara Falls, ON and lets say Toronto?

Welcome @Samuel Sedore & @Robin Valadares! Good insights @Dave Vogt, the future train has started a conversation of Niagara Falls being the new sleeper town for Toronto! Nuts!

Sounds like this phantom group of yours Dave is picking up momentum already :) Keep us posted!

no slow down in sight right now. Just went over ask again on a property in multiple offer. It's becoming more of the norm these days. NIagara has a lot to offer and still the cheapest properties you'll find that close to GTA.  If transportation improvement and go train keep on the radar you can bet it'll be the next Hamilton.

@Andrew Hildebrand and @Dave Vogt I'd be really interested in attending the meet up. I'm just here in Stoney Creek.  I've had similar thoughts about investing right now in that area is worthwhile or should I keep my capital liquid for a possible slow down/correction.

Please let me know when you have anything finalized! Count me in!

I'am chiming in just to watch this post. I have some investors out there I can refer to your group.

@Andrew Hildebrand That's an older site that I haven't done much maintenance on LOL! Had my nose down and working hard over the last few years and the group went on the back burner, but I think it's time to visit this again and get to making it all happen. It would be a lot of fun. I love sharing what I know and talking to fellow investors. So many opportunities here in Niagara.

@Dave Vogt that sounds like a group I'd love to be a part of. Meeting in St. Catharines would bring much more people out to!

When that group/site launches count me in.

I'm going to check out your site you just posted now :)

@Andrew Hildebrand I started to put together a group last year, but it didn't really take off initially. I would like to get local investors together...maybe meet up in St. Catharines as it's more central to the Niagara Region and there are some more meeting places there. I had registered a site name and let it go. It might be time to put it out there again...

@Roy N. Thanks for the shout out...really appreciate it.

I'm going to actually put something together over the next few weeks and post up here in bigger pockets once I have a site up and working. Will probably add a members area with a forum so we can chat on the site too! Will keep you posted. Anyone who is interested just private message me and I'll keep everyone posted. I do have a bunch of we buy houses sites and get frequent calls on them as well as http://investmentpropertiesniagara.com/ if anyone wants to check that out. Not sure if the links to sign up are even working anymore...been a while.

I think we could use something like this in our area as of lately it's been a great market and we are seeing huge increases in value, multiple offers, and lot of growth potential. The next Hamilton maybe I'm thinking. We shall see.

@Roy N. This is exactly what I was talking about! Thanks! I'd love to connect with this Dave you mentioned. How can i find him?

Roy N. · Answer

I am hoping Dave (or another local) will chime in with area knowledge.

According to Meetup, there is a group in St-Catharines.

Thanks @Roy N.!

Do you know if there's some form of organized group here? And if so where/who I can get in touch with for that?
