This is the rescheduled event!
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 Tuesday February 6th at 5:30pm, so put it in your calendar! BiggerPockets Podcast guest #28 and Blogger Dave Van Horn will be joining us to cover a topic we've never dedicated an event around: Note Investing.
For those of you who don't know Dave (and you should know him) he's been a real estate investor for more than 3 decades! Dave's specialty is truly passive income through Note investing. Many of us don't know the ins and outs of notes so Dave is going to have you understand everything about it so perhaps you'll be wanting to do more than just have a desire to flip houses and purchase multi-family property. There has to be a great reason why Dave has made Note investing his primary form of real estate investing. And by the time he's done we'll all be brought up to speed as to the advantages of Note investing. I personally like the idea of it as it seems to be less risky or perhaps a better way to get into real estate investing with less experience. Either way the presentation that Dave has for us should be great.
In addition to our networking time, I'm also going to talk briefly about the current state of the market when it comes to the NYC area and where the leading economists believe we're headed. Many out there are talking about a bubble, and that we're about to see things go sideways. I'll report back my findings from meetings that I've been to which directly cover this, and how it may impact your real estate investing over the next 4-5 years.
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 $0. That's right, this is a great way to start off your 2018 so no excuses that you can't afford it. You'll see on the sign up page here.
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!).
@Darren Sager Thanks again for the email invite last week.
@Dave Van Horn Once again, it’s been totally awesome interacting with you and your solid content on BP and your company’s website. And I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to meet you and other individuals who are either interested in or already investing in the note niche of real estate. In spite of the snow that is in the forecast!!! ;) lol
HUGE Thanks to @Dave Van Horn for a great presentation on Notes for the entire group that showed up for the event on Tuesday evening:
Very first time we ever had a dedicated presentation on the subject and I have to admit I went home based upon my "notes" from the event and opened my eyes to a few strategies I wasn't aware of before so that was awesome Dave! Greatly appreciate the wealth of knowledge you brought to us. Very much looking forward the Mid Atlantic Summit coming up soon!
Thanks also to @Nicholas Aiola for giving great info to the crowd about the new Trump tax changes. Also to @Adam Cherko for joining me updating the group on the current state of the market.
Thanks again to @Matt Rodak from Fund That Flip on sponsoring yet another great event. Greatly appreciate the long term support. Thanks again to everyone who shows up making this the largest and longest standing meetup of BiggerPocket's members in the tri state area. I'll send out a follow up message to everyone on contact info for Dave and Nick.
Thanks again, we'll see you March 28th with special guest @Ben Leybovich!
@Darren Sager - I am going to NY? In March? It's freaking cold in March. Did I agree to this?! Cause it's freaking cold in March in NY. Let's you come to Arizona instead. We'll sit by the pool and look at palms :)
Guys - it sure seems that I will have the pleasure of being with you next month. Any particular requests as to the topic? I can speak to a few things.
