Any Commercial REIA meets in the SF Bay Area?

[Alan Malicse]

Hello BP Community,

I did a very brief search but didn't see anything in the past.

I've recently entered the world of real estate - Commercial to be exact. I've been to a few meets through BP primarily @J Martin 's east bay meets since Jan. Although I've learned a lot through the east bay meets and have made some great contacts I couldn't help but notice that much of the attendees delt primarily with residential.

Are there any members out there currently organizing REIA meets primarily in the CRE field? I work as a Commercial Lending Consultant for a brokerage and would love to connect with other professionals such as CRE Brokers, CRE Lending, and most importantly CRE Investors (multi-family, office, retail, land).

I for one have no experience setting any of these meet ups and I'm also just a beginner in the commercial niche but if there's enough interest in this specific area to meet - I wouldn't mind setting something up for everyone to network.

BP Mods - please let me know if this belongs under another forum.

Thanks everyone for your time!

I found this commercial real estate financing group for you. Looks like they're active monthly:
