Getting started in DFW

[Sean Thomas]

Hi All,

I'm looking to start investing in SFR flips and/or 2-4 MFU rentals. I understand the ins and outs of real estate but am new to investing. Are there any meetups in the Dallas area that anyone would recommend attending? I'm looking to meet fellow investors, hard money lenders, etc., and get started.

Thanks in advance for any replies or help!

@Sean Thomas welcome to Bigger Pockets.  Always nice to see a fellow Texan.  Bigger Pockets even has a Texas forum too. Pretty active a lots of locals participate there.  

To answer your question yes, there are LOTS of meetups in DFW area.  Probably too many really.  Some have pretty hard sales pressure at them.  Several of these will have similar names but they are different. And these are the groups that I feel comfortable recommending. 

www.dfwreiclub.com – meet about 50 times per year. Lots of different topics and a very friendly group.

DFW Mid Cities REIA - https://dfwmidcitiesreia.com/ - meets each month and is completely free. Usually free food and free drinks.

DFW REI Network Investing Meetup - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Network-Investing-Meetup/ - Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets once per month and has a NO GURU SALES allowed rule. Just straight information and super friendly atmosphere.

AREA Real Estate Investing Group – - Meets once per month and is usually well attended

DFW REI Meetup by Propelio - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Meetup-by-Propelio/ - Probably the most popular group currently in DFW. Hundreds of people attend. Tons of classes and speakers. All 100% free!
