Last meeting was fantastic. We had one of our wholesaler friends, Josiah Grimes from KeyGlee Investments, present on the wholesaling model and he did an awesome job. The investors who attended got a ton of great information.
This next meet up we are happy to have another friend of mine @Ben Leybovich and his partner @Sam Grooms present on their recent 98-unit multi family property in Phoenix, Arizona. I am so excited to have them come and share this experience with us.
Remember the meet up is limited to 40 people so make sure you click the ATTEND EVENT button above to let us know you are planning to attend. I look forward to seeing you there!

Kind of a bummer that the android app doesn't show the time, location or the attend button. Had to get on the desktop to see it and click it. Seen some info on @Ben Leybovich & @Sam Grooms deal. Looking forward to hearing more about it.
Will try hard to make it!

@Shiloh Lundahl I am really looking forward to this next meeting! Thank you again for coordinating.

I would like to extend a special invitation to the following people. @Justin Owens, @Nichole Stohler, @Mike Stohler, @Randy K., @Dick Rosen, @Matt Dickens, @Romel Q., @Jason Sullivan, @Kimberly Wright, @Mike White, @Kellen Driscoll, @Charlene McNamara, @Paul G., @Bob Okenwa, @Ken Breeze, @Bob E., @Alan Grobmeier, @Dovid Staples.
If you haven’t ever met @Ben Leybovich you are missing out. He is a very experienced investor and is well known in the BP community. He is one of the few investors who has been on 3 BP podcasts and now he is local to Arizona. I am really excited to have him present on his multi-unit deal he did in Phoenix recently. I hope you are able to make it.

@Shiloh Lundahl - Thanks for the invite. Sam and I are looking forward to spending some time with you guys.
We will do the best we can to get into as many of the nuts and bolts as we can, considering the very limited time. To help us be most productive, allow me to identify who this event will be most beneficial for:
- If you are considering coming to this meet-up, please read through this thread on BP forums. If you find it interesting and would like to ask specific questions - this event will benefit you.
- If you own some rentals and would like to scale but are not sure how - this event will benefit you.
- If you own some rentals and are ready to transition to more passive investing - this event will benefit you.
- If you are struggling to find good deals - this event will benefit you.
- If you have been a successful flipper (I already know there are a few of you out here) and are ready to transition into rentals - this event will benefit you.
- If you have been able to raise $500,000 in private capital for small deals but would like to scale - this event will benefit you.
Hopefully, this creates a fair picture. Having said this, the event is not right for everyone. Please have reasonable expectations.
@Sam Grooms and I want to answer as many pertinent questions as we can. We have no desire to mirror the American educational system's approach of no child left behind, a dive toward the lowest common denominator. As such, for this event to be successful, we are looking forward to serious people, with serious experience and success profile, asking serious questions.
We will answer every question and hold nothing back.

@Shiloh Lundahl , Thanks for the invite! I think I am going to miss this one, I'll be out of town.

@Shiloh Lundahl thanks for the invite, and I am looking forward to being able to make this one. I will look forward to hearing what fellow AZ investors are up to!

@Shiloh Lundahl thanks for the invite. Wish I can attend, but it's Yom Kippur that day!

@Ben Leybovich I think the audience was primarily people wanting to learn and new investors. I think you guys did a great job in relaying the fact that real estate is hard work at every level, whether it is 1 unit or 100 units. There is a lot involved and most people were just digesting what you two were saying.
Besides every time you told the crowd they sucked, Sam was able to save it from going down a dark hole. :)
Hope to see you around Chandler, now I have to peer at every black tesla I pass to see if I know the driver!!

Thanks for the invitation @Shiloh Lundahl :-)
Wish I could make it. Let's meet up for coffee, lunch or drinks since I'll be touching down in Phoenix from Germany October 3rd for min. 2 weeks and open to meet & greet with anyone wanting to sit down on a "One on One" to discuss multifamily investing challenges, projects, syndication, co-sponsoring, capital investing and partnerships.
P.S. My team and I enjoyed your BP Podcast ;-)
