any local courses?

Question

First post here on Bigger Pockets!  This has been a great place for me to learn so far. I am curious if there is any message board or announcements on any local courses or meetings In my local area.  I am from Kenosha, WI (southeastern WI)

matc has a full curriculum dedicated to real estate. I have taken a couple courses which would make me eligible to take the real estate license exam

Awesome! Thanks for all the helpful advice.  I'm new to the game and in the information collection stage for sure as well as planning out what I would like to do with it all. Something that interests me and seems like a worthy vehicle to plan for our future.  I will have to check out one of these meetings, sounds like it would be right up my alley.  I'm always looking to learn more!

Hello! Welcome to BP! As @Arthur Banks mentioned we do have a meetup once a month on the last Saturday of the month. You can find us on Meetup.com under Brew City Real Estate Investment. We cover all kinds of subjects and its great networking opportunity. Hope to see you there!

Brice, welcome, there are BP conventions, there are no local meetings.

Locals have meetings not affiliated with BP. Some are REI types, dues, memberships, that can be another business. Watch out for the gurus! :)

@Brice Lorenz  Welcome!    You just missed the last monthly meetup. It's held on the last Saturday of the month in Milwaukee. @Nicole Pettis co-hosts.  Reach out to her (I'm sure she'll chime in) or search Milwaukee Meetup (or it might be under Brew City Meetup. I don't recall which).  Hope to see you there!  I'm in Waukegan and looking to start investing in Kenosha.
