Hi @Connor Smith welcome to the BP family. We are having a local meet up in May. I have yet to set the date but this will happen very soon. We also have a mailing list which I encourage you to add yourself. Look forward to meeting you. Your goals seem reasonable and we can help you out.

Josh this is a great idea. I actually have read E-Myth and it was great maybe I should go check it out again.

Hi Buffalo folks I am in the process of updating our distribution list email for future Biggerpockets real estate meet ups. You can make sure to add yourself to this mailer by going to our website and signing up. If you are already signed up it will kick back an error saying so. The next meet up will be schedule once we confirm with our next guest speaker.

I agree with Andrew it really is picking up in Buffalo right now.

Hi Biggerpockets folks:

It has been some time since I have posted (Wedding planning) haha among other things. I have counted myself to be blessed with a recent promotion at work as well. The problem is this is not our end game for me or for my partner at all. Charles and I (as some of you know us) both work fulltime jobs and run a successful real estate business. The problem is we do not have enough hours in the day to do everything that is demanded or that we should do to function properly. So we have two schools of thought.

A)Hire someone part time to fill this gap

B)Eventually make enough to pay one of us fulltime to quit our fulltime gigs. The problem is that would take away from the funds we would disburse to both of us( we keep all proceeds in the company and take no salary)

I have a lot of other great ideas that allow us to grow more but I am limited by the time element. So we have focused on keeping our clients happy growing their business and growing ours. I am also a real estate agent so I can pull information from the MLS and put in contracts for both our clients and ourselves which is great. What has happened is we have put our hands in multiple cookie jars without the thought of how much time it will take from us to realize those profits.

In other folks experience what is the best way to free yourself from this conundrum? Should we hire someone part time? If so how? How can we continue to give them direction and grow the business when we both work fulltime? I have some time available at work to direct someone else but not much. How do we know we can afford to hire someone ? these are some the questions I have and would love to some feedback from the community.

Hi @Zachary S.

Dave is not discouraging you from setting up a local meet up but at the same time we do have a lot of other meet ups here in buffalo and I would encourage you to attend those first. There are lots of networking opportunities at these different meetings we also try to bring in a speaker to discuss particular topics. these different meetings are nice to have including the one that I help facilitate which will have the next meet up on the 12th of March we would love to have you there.

If you have any questions or you want to chat please feel free to give me a call

best ,

Mike

A good PM is like gold in those areas!

We have a local meet up that both Drew and I attend in buffalo. We will be setting another meet up in the next few weeks. I would be interested in talking to you further though.
