Jessica.....I'm jealous! We'll keep you posted and let us know when you're back in town.

John

Sounds great and looking forward to it.

Roger,

I'll be in touch but right now I count about 20-25 people from the BLOG, my colleagues, and from another BLOG Mike O'Neill put out on the topic.

Can you support that many at your location? I say we shoot for a Wednesday or Friday evening say 6PM - 8PM this way folks can eat before they come. I'm thinking either the week of 10 or 17 Nov. How does this sound? Do you have a projector with a laptop that would support windows programs? I can bring my Laptop if not but we'd need a projector. Maybe we can work on this when we get together here soon.

After we nail down the location and date we can look at some potential topics to discuss. Here are a few ideas:

* Meet and greet

* Starting out best practices;

* Networking for deals;

* How to find deals out of town - and where to look;

* Financing strategies;

* Financial modeling - tools and tips;

* Managing property managers;

* Planning exit strategies;

* Systematizing business operations;

* Marketing Strategies

We don't have to hit these all at once but they could be a good starting point. We can also reserve sometime afterwards for folks to talk one-on-one.

Let's think about this and try and talk this week to "get the ball rolling." I'll be heading down to South Carolina on Thursday and will have tons of time to talk so let's try and touch base then or soon.

Regards,

John

Steve,

My company provides private capital to investors and businesses looking for funds to support their projects. We have funding parameters and criteria for all projects. We currently work properties in Atlanta, Maryland, and DC. If you're interested shoot me a colleague request a message via BP.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

John

Still working the get together, location, and venue. Anyone have any good ideas for location? I was thinking somewhere near the harbor or in DC. Any good locations that could seat about 15-20 in a private room? Nothing too formal.

;)

Thanks Jessica! Good luck and stay in touch.

BTW...I am active Duty Navy....I know you mentioned your husband was Air Force. Maybe my wife and I could get together with you guys sometime for dinner or coffee in NoVA or DC. We have an awesome property we just started in Adams Morgan. I love that area. Really nice neighborhood. Keep in touch.

Jessica,

Emailed you with my contact's info. I think you'll like her.

John

Jessica,

I may have someone for you. I just reached out to her to see if I can share her info with you. I'll email you and cc her if she is good with it. Talk soon.

John

Eric.....I'll be honest, my exposure to wholesaling is very limited. I know short sales don't last very long. If you are purchasing with a property in short sale there are some strict guidelines. I'd recommend talking with a realtor or another wholesaler before jumping into that pool.

Good luck.

Welcome to BP Clarence. I think you'll really enjoy it.
