Hi Jamie M , and welcome to BP! I'm a "fix and hold" investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! But you'll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful. Some pointers for you: The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do BP members! You can click on the "vote" button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are "awards" to earn on your profile. And you can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name at the bottom of the message box. Welcome to the site, and good luck in everything!

Welcome Northern California BP Members! I host/organize a monthly meetup in the East Bay in Oakland every month, and also have begun setting up BP meetups in the various Northern California cities I travel to for my 9-5, real-estate related job. This is the second “traveling” meetup I’ve organized after our most recent Stockton meetup, which afforded a lot of great interactions.
@Brian Burke is the first person in the area I have contacted who will be joining me at Hilton Sonoma Wine Country, in Santa Rosa next Wed, Feb 12th. I'm hoping he can tag Adam Menconi, who I cannot yet.. The intent of the meeting is to talk shop, meet and network with local investors, explore any opportunities, and wherever else we would like to take it.. Please post on this forum if you plan to join us. I look forward to meeting more of you there!
When:
6PM - ?
Wednesday, Feb 12th, 2014
Where:
Hilton Sonoma Wine Country
3555 Round Barn Blvd
Santa Rosa, California 95403
Phone: 1-707-523-7555
Mendicino Ave Exit just East of 101, off of Fountaingrove Parkway
http://www.hiltonsonomahotel.com/
Food & Drink:
I plan on meeting in the “lounge” for the meetup, which serves cocktails, local beers & wines, and pub-type appetizers. I’m sure they will serve you something from the restaurant if you would like, also.
Keywords: for those who are monitoring them and would like to join:
Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sonoma, Napa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Healdsburg, Sebastopol, Geyserville, Calistoga, St Helena, Larkfield, Windsor, Guerneville, Bodega Bay, Roseland, Fulton
Looking forward to seeing you there!
