Hello BP familly I'm Kamren! So this is a demographic question is for everyone that was spurred on from my first Real Estate Investment Group meeting earlier this week. For a little background on the this I was reading some posts from a local investor Dan O'neil, on BP and noticed that he mentioned the meeting. I looked up the group and decided to go and thanked him for the information. I had also made contact with a young leaner like myself, Brandon Ames and invited him to the event.
The meeting was great and everyone was open to sharing advice and stories, plus they had guest speakers to boot. But towards the end of the meeting the event president asked where all of the guests had heard about the event. When Brandon and I said Bigger Pockets, More than half the room looked like deer in the headlights and had no idea what I was talking about. One gentalman made the remark that everyone under 30 knows about BP. I felt sorry for all the people who had been in the game for so long and had never heard of the super resource that is the BP network and it made me wonder; Who are we, how old are most of us, and how can we get BP on the map for the older investors? I am confident that the staff at BP are working endlessly to make this happen, but what can we all do?
Food for thought, thanks everyone.
