Hey Bay Area folks!
You won't be able to see local folks like Jason Buzi, Raul Luna, Jeff Pollack and BP members like J Scott, Jay Hinrichs, Dave Van Horn, Ben Leybovich, and more all under one roof in one weekend.. So don't miss it on Feb 16 & 17! We'll be in Oakland. So whether you're coming up from Santa Cruz or San Jose, or down from Napa & Sonoma, it's not a far drive. If you're in San Francisco, just across the bridge! Take BART to Lake Merritt :) Walnut Creek, Fremont, Berkeley, Richmond, Palo Alto are all also a close drive or BART/Caltrain ride.
Easier than driving to every meetup around the Bay for the next year!
Why you should come:
- no bull-shlt
- no sales pitches
- open, "philosophy of abundance" sharing, just like BP!
- breadth and depth of speaker and attendee investing experience
- relaxed atmosphere to make connections and up your game
This is NOT a BP event!

@J. Martin look forward to attending again! I went to purchase my ticket again and see that there are VIP tix. Couldn't find info about these vs regular tickets. What are the added benefits?
Let me check with my event planner, so I don't give you the wrong info. I think it's supposed to include lunch, the podcast/audio recordings from the event, and I think something else. But it should be listed there with the tickets.. I agree..
I'll check and get back to you! Thanks Elizabeth. And looking forward to seeing you there! :)

Always a great event! This is the biggest gathering of like-minded real estate folks in the Bay Area. Two days of great content, I heard a lot of people last year that came for only one day regret it and wish they’d attended both days. So glad to see you putting this on again, J!
Thanks for the shout out Brian, and glad you can come back for EVERY SF Bay Summit so far!! :)
You're the man!!!!
I feel like it's one of the few places where people are willing to share openly. And not try to sell a bunch of bullllshit!
I really appreciate you being a part of it since the first one wayyy back! I'll see you Feb 16 & 17!

thank you J Martin for taking time from your busy schedule to arrange this for every one.. those 90 hour weeks are probably really getting to you about now..
I'm trying my best! Bruce is busy. But he's super insightful on the economy.. especially in CA.
Fortunately.. we have a great lineup of super experienced real estate investors like you coming out! So I think we'll be good either way ;) Appreciate you coming down from Oregon Jay!! Means a lot to me and the other attendees :)

The 2019 SF Bay Real Estate Networking Summit is confirmed for Feb 16 & 17 in Oakland, CA!
For the fourth time, hundreds of real estate investors and experts will be gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area for a weekend of learning, networking, and joining forces to grow our real estate businesses!
This conference is different than others because we skip the salesmanship ******** - only straight content - and everyone shares in the most open way. No better way to make connections with the right people.
VENUE: Oakland, CA
DATE: Feb 16 & 17, 2019
TIME: 8am - 5pm
TICKET PRICE: $295 for Super Early Bird 2-day pass (tickets will go up as we near the summit)
This is NOT a BiggerPockets event. But you'll recognize some familiar faces.
Hey, we're stoked to have you out! @KathtFettke , @J Scott , @Jeff Pollack , @Jason Buzi , @Matt Faircloth, @Ben Leybovich,@Jay Hinrichs, @Raul Luna! What are you most excited about or risk-averse in today's market?
A lot more speakers are coming out to share their experiences and answer YOUR questions. ;)
Get your tickets here at www.SFBaySummit2019.com (Super Early Bird Tickets are now available!!). Get a tax deduction, and get seriously inspired!
The event will include lots of targeted networking, discussion panels, breakout groups, drinking, and a great time, over the weekend.
Here are some of last year’s highlights:
"An exceedingly well-done conference, especially in terms of venue, speakers, vendors, information presented and opportunities for connection. What I learned and who I met will catapult me years forward in my abilities. Count me in for the next one!" - Erin A., Stockton, CA
"This was my first conference, I was not sure what to expect. I was definitely encouraged when I saw a lot of excitement on the Biggerpockets community leading up to the event. And perfectly honest, day one blew away my expectations. Keynotes were helpful and informative and the networking sessions have been invaluable." - Rohann
"There's a lot of information here and being able to network with other people more experienced than myself." - Doug Chinn, Berkeley CA
Event: SF Bay Real Estate Networking Summit
Date: Sat & Sun, Feb 16 & 17, 2019
Location: Oakland, CA @ Oakland Scottish Rite Center
Get more info & tickets here: www.SFBaySummit2019.com. The earlier, the cheaper!

Besides the meet-up with @John Casmon , G, and @Rj D., @Rj D. and I closed on a 6 unit at the end of June. We have been on the hunt for our next one since before we closed on that building. Would love an introduction to ANY contacts you have in the Chicagoland area that have experience doing full gut rehabs. We've found a few projects but hope to have the crews/connections to take action on them.
Hopefully, we'll see you on one of your upcoming adventures!
@Brie Schmidt, you know anyone doing full gut rehabs out in Chicago area.?
