Northwest Indiana Meetup????

Question

Hello BP Community,

I recently moved into my new house out in Hammond, IN and wanted to venture my RE investing out this way. I wanted to network with some local investors and wanted to see if there were any BP meet ups being hosted out this way. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, if there isn't one currently, is there anyone who would be interested in starting one with me???? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to NW Indiana. There is a NICIA meeting this Thursday (http://northwestindianareia.com/). I am not sure if that is what you are looking for though. I have never been to one of their meeting but am going to try to hit this one. If you are planning a pure BP meetup of sorts I would be interested.

Larmon Cummings Jr welcome to NWIndiana. I would love to start a group. I have been to numerous NICIA meetings in the past. When they switched to Thursday evenings, I couldn't make it. I have also attended many NILA (Northwest Indiana Landlords Association) meetings in Michigan City. They are usually the last Wednesday of the month. Message me if you want to set something up. And, again, Welcome!

Welcome to NW Indiana @Larmon  Cummings Jr , fellow BPer. I'm currently living in Merrillville, which is a little west of Hammond. I'm currently investing in the south 'burbs of Chicago and would also be interested in investing in a some deals out here in NW Indiana, since I know the area pretty well(been out here since 2007). Regarding setting up a BP meetup, I'm not the right person for getting this sort of thing started, however, would definitely be interested in networking at anytime.

Also, is this group members of the NICIA group? Do you find this adds a ton of value to your investor activities in NWI? Would love to join just want to get a sense of how active this group is

Hi there, late to the game here. I would love to attend any meetups virtually in NWI. I've been analyzing and offering on deals for several months and yet to get my first one! Hopefully soon. Is there a regular NWI meetup that I can attend virtually?

I go to a group in Schererville that's pretty decent. I like that group because it has a decent attendance so you can actually meet people doing stuff plus the speakers are local and don't pitch some program that's discounted to only $997 but you have to buy tonight junk. I've been going for 3+ years and have learned a lot and met several said connections.

From my understanding, they try to get someone to speak on a topic of interest. But it's more about networking. The idea is to match up with like minded people. Also find people you might need. Lawyers, bankers, accountants, service people. Plus you can get on the local FB page and ask questions all the time. I haven't been to one in years because they changed the time and place that just didn't work for me.

You just need to pay attention to the costs. The last time that I looked, the cost on one of them had shot up. The group started out over a decade ago with a few guys getting together for coffee. But over the years new faces came in, pushed out the originals. The speakers went from local people tryig to educate to national gurus who are trying to sell their product. A lot of people got sick of this and a lot of smaller groups started popping up.
