Best 2020 Real Estate Conferences

[Nicholas Potocki]

I am interested in attending at least one real estate conference in 2020. In your opinion, what are the best conferences for investors?

@Nicholas Potocki @Haley McLaughlin Honestly I feel like the best options for beginners is not attending a large conference as much as attending local real estate meet-ups. Find the closest BP meet-up, if there isn't one then I strongly encourage you to host one. (Get over the limiting belief that you don't know enough to host, just create one on BP, market on Facebook, and directly invite people on BP who are in your market). I know this might seems counter-intuitive but if you're getting started the most important next step is learning your market, and networking with local real estate professionals (investors, agents, attorneys, contractors, inspectors etc..).

It's not that you can't get a lot from a larger event but in my opinion, when getting started in anything you should be trying to deconstruct the big picture goal (invest in real estate) into smaller actionable steps. A large conference in my opinion may be more likely to make that big goal seem even bigger, while starting with learning your market, and networking locally is a massive step in investing that is very attainable and a confidence boost.

Don't take this as a criticism, I love seeing people active and getting started and most importantly seeking to learn I'm just giving my opinion on a great next step. I have heard from people who attended the Best Ever Conference that it is an awesome event but is geared toward higher level investing (experienced investors, mid-larger multi's, syndications), if you were going to a bigger event, I would recommend the BiggerPockets one to be more beginner friendly.

Disclaimer: Still, this is all just my opinion from my experience and from what I hear talking to other investors, I haven't personally attended a large event yet. lol So take my advice with a grain of salt.

Best of luck either way!

I look forward to seeing your progress in real estate, keep the BP community updated, there are a ton of incredible people on this site.

Best,

Ryan
