Hi BP friends!

This event is a casual networking opportunity to meet and connect with others within the real estate investing space. We know real estate is a team sport and aim to foster intentional relationships with others that can help both sides accomplish their real estate goals no matter the size.

We are also hosting a raffle from now until August that for each time you attend an event of ours, you will be entered into our raffle for two BiggerPockets Convention 2023 tickets ($2,000 value). You won't want to miss out!

RSVP Here!

Quote from @Justin Vogelgesang:

For all of the investors and fellow agents in Fort Worth, are there any good meet ups in the area? If not, who would be interested in starting a monthly get-together for networking and building business? 


 Hi Justin,

My business partner and I host two monthly meetups around the DFW area. The first is on the first Saturday of every month at 8AM with the location TBD and the second is more of a social/happy hour meetup in the evenings. We are hosting a raffle from now until August where each time you attend the meetup, you are entered into the raffle to win two tickets to the BP Convention ($2,000 value). Our next meetup is next Thursday 6/22 from 6PM-9PM at Andrettis Duckpin Bowling in The Colony. We do typically post each meetup in this group as well but we can always add you to our text reminders if you'd like. Please send me a DM if interested. 

Hope you can make it out!

Hey Richard! 

I'm not sure if I will be able to attend this meetup but would like to stay in the loop as to when meetups are. Is there a way to get notifications, or a page I can follow to know when you and your partner will be hosting you next event? I live in Rowlett, and am eager to meet other REI people in the area. I've been in the educational phase of my REI journey for an while, and am ready to start taking action!


 Hey Travis!

Thanks for reaching out. We'd love to get you connected with other REI people in the area. I just sent you a DM!

Hi friends-

My business partner and I host two meetups every month and this Saturday at 8AM is our free June morning meetup. This is a great opportunity to meet and network with other people who are either already in the real estate investing world or are looking to begin. We focus on intentional connections and how to build a network of friends who can help each other meet their individual real estate goals. 

We are meeting at one of our current short term rentals that we have just started using as a long term rental and we will be discussing the benefits of using differing strategies with investment properties.  Real estate is a team sport and we'd love to have you!

We will be providing coffee and donuts, hope to see you there!

Each RSVP and check in will also receive an entry into our raffle for the BPCon tickets. 

Food and drinks will be provided so please RSVP using the link below.  We hope to see you all there!

Hi friends!

My business partner and I have been hosting a real estate meetup the first Saturday of every month for the last 2 almost 3 years. This Saturday May 6th is the meetup for May and we hope to see you all there! These meetups are a great way to meet and network with other real estate investors and like minded individuals within the real estate game. The focus of our meetups is to facilitate relationships between people who may have similar real estate goals and how they can help each other reach those goals. We are meeting at the most recent property that my business partner and I flipped that is overlooking Trophy Club golf course and is currently on the market. We hope you can make it out!

Coffee and donuts will also be provided.

Quote from @Anup Jung Karki:

I am trying to get my skin on the game i.e. start with multifamily. How do I find the right wholeseller & real estate agent who could help. Also, how much is the down payment needed? I read some say 5%, 15% or conventional loan of 20%. Also, how people do creative financing and find those kind of deals?

I’m in DFW area looking to invest on MF where I could force equity/ value-add & do brrrr. Is there a meet up group where people meet and discuss?

Thank you.


 Hey Anup!

My business partner and I host meetups in DFW twice a month! We both have several investment properties throughout DFW. The meetup is a casual networking opportunity with other real estate investors where we help each other to meet our real estate goals through accountability. We usually cover different topics each meetup where we answer a lot of the questions you mentioned here. 

Send me a message and I am happy to send the details over to you on the next meetup.
