Just curious if anyone from Winnipeg would be interested in an investor meetup if it was organized. I saw there are other meetups but it seems like it's the "pay me 20k for my secrets to being a billionaire" kind of thing which I have no interest in.
Start in a small place and grow from their. Good place to network, maybe find JV opportunities, pick each other's brains, etc.
Let me know if there's interest and I may try to organize something.
For anyone on here looking for meetups in winnipeg there is a group called truly invested in winnipeg that are great. there is a membership fee but first one is free. they are on insta if interested. Also one called teammate I believe I'll double check..."
Justin, I wouldn't tell someone to avoid those two groups as such, however, I would encourage you to look behind the curtain as it were. Any networking event that charges you for anything is selling something; usually a course or a seminar and will expect you to pay a lot of money for information that's easily found on Bigger Pockets for free.
Super slick "networking" events are often a front for high cost "mentorships".

Hello Mike ! I'm originally from Manitoba and find myself back home all the time ( 5 or 6 times a year ). As such, I try to keep an eye out for any opportunities so if you are putting together a gathering, I would certainly make the effort to attend. It's a bit of a hike for me, and my schedule may not allow for it, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw my name in the hat as a possibility.
@Andrew Toews I haven't set anything up yet. Been pretty busy lately, and I'll have to brand it something different as I can't use any reference to BP and I'm not sure I want to get that involved in it. Figured it would be something simple for coffee or drinks but it's not the case.

Also one called teammate I believe I'll double check. I'm also willing to be part of something new though

Jamie the only reason they charge money there is because they rent a space for these meetups, they have coffee and water. small costs, small charge, good information and everyone u meet is from Winnipeg it's a good networking opportunity for sure. the only thing they try to sell is there membership fee which is like 350$ a year which is so u can go to all there meetups without worrying about paying there 40$charge.
You right in that BP is great to learn but it is limited to networking for winnipegers. Some real players from the city go to that and that's what matters I think

@Justin Pilotte Truly Invested does seem to be better than most. I suppose I am jaded and would just like to see a legit Meetup and networking with no strings attached and no cost. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

Me too. I will do something to get a group up and running as soon as I can.
