Hey Natasha!

Seems like most meet ups have been post-poned due to covid. I plan on starting my own meet up here in Houston soon so I'll keep you posted.

    It is interesting that so many people want to meet.  I'm not interested in meeting, but I am interested in helping you,, I hope,, with a couple of comments.

    Without some additional planning and organizing the meeting will be mostly a social time with just a small potential business benefit.  A leader is needed to run the meeting together with an agenda.

    Mr. Foster, I suggest that you continue to fill that role and look for a couple of other volunteers to help.  Y'all can create the agenda to fit the needs of attendees and their various motives.  From the various responders a start might be:

    - Welcome 

    - Meeting Objective

    - Skills/team needed

    - Flipping Vs Landlording

    - How/where to find deals

    - Financing alternatives 

    - Estimating and analyzing deals

    - Renovation/Contracting

    - Selling

    - Property Management 

    - Wrap up/Path Forward

    That should get you started - cross out, add, change, etc.  You could assign various people to speak on different agenda topics.  

    Good luck avoiding a waste of time.

    I'm finally going to start up a meet up down in Galveston! If you are free, it would be great to meet others in person and discuss things!

    @Timothy Church , we, unfortunately, have plans that evening already booked for Valentine's Day weekend. If you can let me know once you have the meeting set for March, we would love to attend the next meet up. Thank you!

    Sorry to hijack the thread, or at least detour it a little, but I had a question about windstorm insurance providers in Galveston. This thread had more of the locals, and was the best I could find with BPs search engine. 

    Does anyone know any local non TWIA windstorm providers?  Quick run down, we had our TWIA policy not renewed about 18 months ago. After discussions with them, they said a partial RE-roof in 2010 wasn’t certified. We paid and got that 1/3 of the roof replaced and certified. My insurance agent had new coverage lined up with TWIA but they called him and are now requiring the rest of the roof be certified. So we’re going to have to go back with our expensive insurance if we can’t find another insurer. 

    Thanks for your time
