Anyone interested in a Meetup in Winnipeg?

Member since 2018 · 8 posts · 1 vote

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.

"Originally posted by @Justin Pilotte:

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".

Just adding a thought (perhaps this is cart before the horse here) but I wondering if it is possible to brand a local meetup as a "biggerpockets" meetup? Not sure exactly what that looks like but it would be interesting since we're all obviously on this site, to leverage the material and training here to serve and augment local implementation and discussion?

Hi Jamie.
It is not possible to brand a meetup as a BiggerPockets meetup, because this implies that BiggerPockets sponsors or endorses the meetup. And lawyers, legal terms, copyright infringement, etc means we can't give permission for our name to be used.

I figured as such. Just looking at all the options and adding to the conversation.
