Hey Dave - I'll see you there this evening.  Several have said they're going to come so should be a good meeting.

Haven't put it on Meetup yet.  I founded a Veteran group (CNY Vets & Military) on there and sponsor it myself.  Might do the same with this but just haven't yet.

@Nicole Wood - Hey Nicole! I'm not sure there's a closer one either but certainly not with the same BP intent as ours. Will be great if you can make it...mistakes to avoid advice is always welcome! I'm looking to do a house-hack in the next few months so will be good to discuss that as well.  Looking forward to meeting you!

Thanks, that's kind of you. 

Me too! I even started a monthly meetup here in Syracuse even tho I'm inexperienced, just to create a BP-inspired forum for everyone to learn from each other. Nice to meet like-minded individuals who get why we're so excited about REI.

@Chase Jones Thanks for the great reminder Chase. You're absolutely right about REI falling flat with many people in the military, as well as among my civilian friends, but I keep talking about it to people anyway. Most think my wanting to house-hack to get started is a major step backwards in life, and it may very well be, but it will be best for the long haul, of that I'm convinced.

@Peter Bardou - Hey Peter!  Glad to have you join us! It's low key and casual to encourage networking over "selling" or attending a "lecture". I like networking the best and learning from others so I'm not reinventing the wheel! Look forward to meeting you in a few weeks!

Hello Fellow BP'ers!

Our last monthly CNY RE Investors Meetup was held on 1/2/18 at Aloft Inner Harbor in Syracuse and attendance was a little light due to post holiday burnout. Regardless, 2018 is still young and primed for success! As many people in this area know, this time of year is a great time to get an investment deal so let's take advantage of it!

Our next meetup is on Tues 2/6/18 at 7pm again at the Aloft Inner Harbor, as it's been great for the conversational style of this networking meetup.

As always, there is no fee to attend other than a willingness to share what you know or have learned with other investors and learn from them what you may not know. Our intent is to make everyone more successful in the region and by trading knowledge we all can do more deals!

Please join us and bring along any other investors with this same mindset. Also, please share any recent happenings for your REI journey, whether new deals, possibilities or goals in the next few months or year.

See ya there!

@Austin Shuster You might check out Craigslist or maybe For Sale By Owner (fsbo.com) for "off market" deals. I tend to think MLS listings have already been reviewed/passed on by more savvy RE agents/investors but not necessarily. Also, good ol' door knocking and "driving for dollars" might turn up something worthwhile. Good luck, there's a lot out there if you can find it!

Hello Fellow BP'ers!

Our monthly CNY RE Investors Meetup was held on 12/5 at Aloft Inner Harbor in Syracuse and turned out great with several new faces and very productive conversations and connections were made. Our next meetup is on Tues 1/2/18 at 7pm again at the Aloft Inner Harbor, as it's been great for the conversational style of this networking meetup. 

Let's start off 2018 right and make it the best yet for everyone in the area!
