THIS EVENT IS AT CAPACITY- See my message near the bottom of the page.
Hello again fellow BiggerPockets members from and around the greatest city in the world, New York! I'm pleased to announce our next Meetup in Manhattan will be taking place on Wednesday August 2 at 5:30pm, so put it in your calendar!
It's not everyday we get official BiggerPockets "Corporate" to come to our event but when we do it's usually something very special. Both Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner have delivered great messages to our local members of BP. And now we get to hear from BP Community Manager Mindy Jensen! Mindy is a absolute rock star in her own right. Both she and her husband have repeatedly been featured on the front page of Yahoo! and in other online publications for becoming financially independent quickly and at an early age. This has transformed their lives and Mindy is going to share a lot of how they went about it (using real estate investing) as well as covering something we've never done at the meetups: How to utilize BiggerPockets to grow your wealth! This is going to be an AMAZING Meetup and one not to be missed!
Mindy has also guest hosted the BiggerPockets Podcast! Those are big shoes to fill and you have to respect anyone with the ability to take over the mike from Josh or Brandon. She's also contributed thousands of posts on the BiggerPockets forums and has an incredible Vote to Post ratio (that means she knows her stuff). I hope you're as thrilled to meet Mindy as much as I am. It's not easy to get BiggerPockets staff to make it to Manhattan (since they're in Denver). We're grateful Mindy is taking the time out of her schedule to be with us.
As usual, the event will take place at 27 East 28th Streetin the WeWork space. We'll start at 5:30pm and go to at least 8:30pm or until they kick us out.
We're going to have great networking with BiggerPockets members from all over the Tri State area. In addition we'll have food to eat AND even have Beer and Wine to drink (provided you're at least 21 years old of course).
The event amount is only $12 if you pay at time of sign up with Venmo or Paypal. You'll see on the sign up page here.$20 otherwise at anytime else (which is still an incredible value with all you're getting).
As usual, I want to personally thank Matt Rodak from FundThatFlip.com for continuing to work with us and making it happen. Thanks Matt! Expect to hear from him during the event about the great service that he provides and deservedly so. And that's the only "pitching of products or services" you'll hear outside what other members may talk to you about.
Even if you're brand new to BiggerPockets, a first time investor or a seasoned Pro, money lender or contractor, wholesaler or business professional, be sure to be there and meet other members and those interested in Real Estate investing from the NYC metro area which includes Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam and Orange County, Fairfield County CT, and Northern NJ (that includes you Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, Maplewood, Montclair, West Orange, and so many more great towns!).
Just listened to today's podcast and heard about the meet up. Pretty excited to have a meet up practically next door. Hope to make it and meet some awesome people.
Wow, for the very first time I have to say the event is closed if you didn't sign up already. We're at capacity for the space everyone. Should be an incredible event. I look forward to seeing everyone there this evening. More than 200 have signed up! Next time sign up and take care of your registration early!
Glad you were able to be a part of it @Ryan Bolesky! @Wael Mashini send me your email and I'll get you on the list for messages so you won't miss out on any going forward.
HUGE Thank you to @Mindy Jensen for taking the time out of vacation to some visit all the awesome member of the BiggerPockets community in the NYC area! Absolutely incredible event last night. We were packed in standing room only! Thank you Mindy for a great presentation having us understand all you did to become financially independent, in addition to giving us great insight on how you utilize BiggerPockets more more than many are doing so now. We hope you have you again some time in the future!
Thanks everyone who signed up, showed up, and participated last night. It was super to see everyone there. We'll be back again soon with another. Stay tuned!
