We are going to do things slightly different for this meetup.  We will be meeting at Dino's Pizza in Norwood park on December 2nd (combining the November and December meetup because of the holidays) and will be using the first hour for deal presentations with the remainder of the even being networking.  We want to encourage more deal making within the group so thought this was a great way of doing it. 

If you have a deal that you are working on that you need a partner or help with email [email protected] by December 1st.  

We are hoping to do 10 deal presentations with each lasting about 5 minutes.  The rest of the group will have the ability to partner with the person or offer advice.  

We will also be collecting $1 donations to cover the cost of Meetup.com ($180 a year) and name tags and pens.

@Brie Schmidt - This can be a really fun way to learn and to make deals.  You can setup the meeting however you think best suits the group, but we had 5 "Sharks" who reviewed each deal.  These were experienced investors with a relatively diverse background. We tried to get the presenter to think of other ways to put it together, ask questions they hadn't asked, and educate the audience on why something was a good or bad deal.  At least 4 properties were sold after the meeting.  <--All deals are always done at the bar :)

Good Luck!!
