Details

Come out to our real estate networking event to talk about:

  1. My lessons learned on Airbnb
  2. Others' recent successes and failures around the SF Bay & Out of State + Lessons learned
  3. Round of introductions, wants, and haves... why are you here and what are you looking for? What experience or contacts do you have to help others?
  4. Open networking with the connections you want to grow
    Cost: $20 per attendee
    PayPal below or cash or Venmo on-site is ok

Ever thought about doing Airbnb or furnished rentals in a property you own? Or renting others' properties to furnish and rent out?

Nightly to travelers? Mid-term to travel nurses? Or longer term for more itinerant folks who don't want to buy or bring furniture to a new apartment?

  1. I'll give a brief presentation on my Airbnb business:
    - What I did well
    - What I did poorly
    - What my plans are for the future
    - Q&A to answer your burning questions

  2. Then others' recent successes and failures around the SF Bay & Out of State + Lessons Learned.

At our last meetup in Oakland, Ted Manahan shared about a deal he did in SF with that was real sticky and had great advice to hire a lawyer when presented with those sorts of issues.
Chris V. also shared about some struggles with a development deal. His words of advice were:
"Development is not for the faint of heart. Or for the broke of wallet."
Saj, Gavin, and I shared about how our greed and lack of diversification will likely lead to a collective million dollars or more in losses between our various investments in syndications.

  1. Intros, haves, and wants. Where are you from and why are you here? What are you doing or intend to do in real estate? What experience do you have to share with others? And what are you looking for today?
    We'll go around the circle and see who to best to connect to for our..

  2. Open networking. Chat with the people you are best connected to at the meetup and develop relationships to build success for the future.

Every time I go to a networking event, I learn something new or meet someone interesting that changes my perspective or get a new tip. Which makes it 500% worth it. Many meetup members have also met their partners today from my prior meetups and conferences throughout the Bay Area.

If you've never been out, check out our reviews! 4.9 stars with over 150 reviews! Or ask someone who's come.

I strive to provide the most value, information, and lessons learned from real estate investors making money and losing money every month. Come see what we're all about!

Cost: $20 USD

Why does it cost $20 to attend?
I'm going to provide more than $100 of value to you by learning what works, what to avoid, and the wins and losses of others. So we can all learn from the mistakes of others. And do more of what succeeds.

I've made over $1 million in real estate and in the process of losing over $500k. So I've lived on both sides of the coin. And other attendees have made and lost even more.

So come learn from people making things happen.

The venue:
This remodeled space is a quiet, private retreat where we can hear each other share, eat, drink, and network.

You are welcome to bring your own food and drink/snacks to consume or share. Order Uber

eats. Eat dinner while we're chatting. Or share your favorite homebrew like someone brought last time!

There is no food or drink service at the location, as it is not a business. There is a clean bathroom.

The space is being generously shared by Arlen Chou. So please give him a thank you!

If you enjoy our events, please drop us a review and share it with a friend!
Looking forward to learning more lessons from everyone next time!
