No presentation here. We'll focus on introductions, haves, and wants, and learning more from each other. As always, we'll focus on our lessons learned through successes, losses, and challenges.
I've bought foreclosures, had long-term holds in the SF Bay, an Airbnb arbitrage business for over 7 years, Virtual Assistants in the Philippines for over 8 years, and over a million in syndications from Multifamily to Self Storage to Mobile Home Parks.
I've traveled the world over the last 6 years to over 50 countries while running my business remotely, and back in the Bay to network and relaunch my SF Bay Summit Real Estate Conference!
While I have many real estate stories to share with you, it's been the diverse range of attendees that come to our networking events that really make it more than worth it!
We also have a meetup group and an Eventbrite invitation for more attendees. So RSVP now and come out to network with other real estate investors and entrepreneurs!

Post: Real Estate Networking w/o the Bullsh*t! + Pub Trivia after! Silver Lake

Come out to our real estate investor networking in Silver Lake, without all the sales pitches, ********, and hustle of some company-run meetup! Followed by Pub Trivia for something fun afterwards ;) Free meetup: bring a friend and come for either/both.

6:00 -8:00 PM: Real Estate Investor Networking
8 PM: Pub Trivia Starts

There won't be any presentation. Introductions, haves/wants, lessons learned, and open networking to get to know each other. 33 Taps Silver Lake has great beers, a full bar, and food, so please support the business and tip your server ;) Free on-site parking; pay your own food & drink bill.

If you have any questions about BRRR, Airbnb, investing with partners/syndications, multifamily, mobile home parks, self storage, going to jail, virtual assistants, event planning, and more, I've participated in all of it! And happy to share!

My name is J Thomas Martin. I've bought foreclosures for long term holds/BRRR, founded an Airbnb arbitrage business over 8 years ago, invested over $2MM with a dozen other real estate investors in over two dozen different deals from multifamily to flips to mobile home parks to self storage.

I've hosted real estate meetup groups for over a decade, and started a real estate conference with speakers like Brandon Turner, Scott Trench, Aaron Mazzrillo, and lots of folks from BiggerPockets.

I've been a digital nomad for almost a decade, and traveled to over 60 countries, mostly spending time in SE Asia, along with some Latin America and Europe - and still love traveling. I also love riding motorcycles, especially offroad, and usually spend part of the winters in Baja riding around on 2 wheels and petting whales.

I also work with an amazing non-profit, Youth Champions, that helps teach personal and professional topics to high school students in Los Angeles County! [https://youth-champions.org/] They'll continue growing in the coming years, so if you're interested in having an impact on these Students' lives, let me know or contact them directly :)

Some awesome folks from the Youth Champions Network will join in for some general networking before the Pub Trivia starts. Feel free to stay past 8:00 PM to chat together, join our YCN group to chat all together, and/or join us for Trivia :)

I'm excited to meet some new real estate investors, kick some *** at Pub Trivia, and enjoy some other fun events around the area!
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Red Lion Tavern

Parking is available on-site, an extensive selection of German beers, and a hearty menu of traditional German cuisine.
No cost for the meetup, but pay your own bill and tip your server!
