The 32nd Santa Barbara Real Estate Investor Meetup will take place at Third Window Brewing Co. on Thursday, March 21st from 6-8pm. We will be in the front patio area across from the bar. Look for the sign similar to the above banner and call/text me (Baird) at 805-705-5667 or Val at 805-215-6733 if you are having trouble finding the group.

We are a group of real estate investors of all experience levels who get together each month to share stories, experiences, leads, etc. Whether you have only started dreaming of your first property, or just closed on your 100th; whether you invest out of state, or keep it local, we look forward to having you join.

We kick the evening off with quick group introductions, so be ready to tell the group one thing you are seeking and one area where you can provide value (everyone has something to give).

RSVP here AND post a response if you plan on joining so we know who to look out for and to help promote the event. Call/text Baird at 805-705-5667 or Val at 805-215-6733 if you have any questions.

NOTE: If you would like to be included on the list to receive future invitations via email, please direct message me your email address and keep an eye out for emails from [email protected].

Your hosts and a pic from last event:

@Allen Maris thanks for the shoutout.  @Taylor Marks - would be GREAT to have you join our meetup. We have an awesome group of locals with all sorts of investing backgrounds. Many invest out of state, many locally, and many both. I personally invest in Ventura and Santa Barbara. Turnkey SFR in this area is a great way to make your money disappear for many years, but if you are willing to get creative and dirty, there are tons of great opportunities. My local investments have done very well. That said, I completely understand that out of state can be more palatable for many reasons. If you would like to be on the email notification list for future meetups, please shoot me a DM with your info. Also always happy to answer other questions as well :-).

 Great Tyler! And it is definitely happening 😬👍😎

Hi Whitney & Laurie - I invest in short term, mid term and long term rentals in SB and Ventura and am always happy to chat. I can vouch that Peter and Tony are great resources as well, and I will see you at Peter’s meetup if you join. I host a meetup in Santa Barbara. Next one is tonight if you can make it: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1162404-sant...

DM me if you want to be added to the email list or have any questions I could help answer. All the best getting started!

Yew @Alex Bekeza.  Looking forward to it!

 Great, thank you Noah! Glad to hear it too, as I registered for Multifamily yesterday. Happy new year.

Hi @Noah Bacon. I would like to sign up for either multifamily or BRRRR and am hoping you can provide some guidance/advice as to which would be the better fit. I currently own small multifamily which have been BRRRRs, so I am already very familiar with the BRRRR process. I do not own any large multifamily and have not participated in any syndication. I would like to move into the mid-size multifamily space (~8-24 units) in the somewhat near term, but I probably have a few more BRRRRs in me before then. I am not sure if/when I would move into multifamily larger than that. Bottom line - BRRRR will continue to be my focus for the near term, and I certainly have more to learn and ways to improve; however, I am concerned that the course may be too basic. Is there a lot of time spent on rehashing the basics of BRRRR outlined in David's book and discussed regularly on the podcast? Or do we get through that quick and into more advanced exercises for the majority of the course like practicing deal analysis, running numbers, finding/managing/contracting with contractors, corporate structure, etc? If BRRRR is too basic, I may opt for multifamily as a better fit, even though it is not likely in my near future, as I imagine much of the coursework will be directly transferrable to real estate at any scale. Thanks for your help!
