Courtyard by Marriot, 180 North Fair Oaks Ave. Pasadena, CA. Door fee for this meeting is $20.00 at the door.
The Pasadena FIBI group provides an environment for active and informative peer discussions, expert presentations on relevant topics, and networking. All FIBI meetings support a NO SELLING policy, allowing investors--whether seasoned or beginner--to be free about sharing their real estate passions without sales pitches.
Each Pasadena Real Estate FIBI meeting includes brief member introductions intended to identify areas of interest and possible opportunity, industry experts presenting information and experience on a variety of relevant real estate topics, and open networking sessions to enhance the value of coming together to learn. Twice a year we include an Economic Update and a review of Market Conditions. Our meetings are fun, engaging, and informative.
Chris Bedgood is one of the stars of the hit reality TV show 'Flipping San Diego' on A&E and FYI channel. He is a real estate investor, developer, flipper, wholesaler, landlord, Realtor, as well as a sought after speaker, mentor and author and Founder of the Real Estate Veteran Training Academy. Chris will be on hand to talk about his book 'Veteran Flipper - A Real Estate Investors Flags to Riches Journey' where he talks about his life story, as well as the ups and downs of flipping houses, as well as many insider secrets that only an experienced investor could know. 'Chris will also talk in-depth about some of his 'Bedgood-isms' for success in business and in life such as 'Don't be Afraid to Fail. Instead be afraid of Not learning from your Failures. Failure + Persistence = Success.'
Chris does not consider himself a guru and isn't selling ANYTHING. He just wants to give back to the REIA community that helped him get started in the business. He has been honored to speak on the same stage as Bruce Norris and other noted SoCal speakers and mentors. Chris has bought and sold millions of dollars worth of property and considers himself a Real Estate Entrepreneur who is always learning and growing and surrounding himself with like-minded, successful entrepreneurs. Chris grew up in Atlanta before joining the Navy at 17 years old, and proudly serving as a Naval Aircrewman/Flight Engineer from 1987 to 1994 and he served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991. Before moving to San Diego he lived in Newport Beach, as well as Costa Mesa, and Long Beach. He currently flips houses, develops raw land, buys and sells Luxury real estate as well as works as a Realtor for select, wealthy clients.
If you want to hear from someone with no college education, no money and no rich uncle who was able to turn raw motivation into financial success, then attend our next meeting October 20th. Chris will speak and also answer questions and try to help motivate new and experienced investors to get to the next level.
