Hello everyone,

I have been looking through the site for the last couple of days and have found so much useful information. I have owned a SF rental in Virginia for a long time and my wife and I also have a townhouse in Washington that we are renting out. I have been wanting to acquire additional properties for quite some time and have finally got the courage to go for it! We are primarily interested in 2-4 unit M/F properties to buy and hold. We are always on the lookout here in DC, but the market is crazy here... we also have relatives in Cleveland OH and have been seriously considering trying to jump into the market there... any current NE Ohio, specifically Clevelanders who are willing to discuss the rental market prospects would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to learning a lot from this site!

Hey Matt Dean, Ned Carey, Jason Cohen, Chris Drury, Deirdre Brown, Travis Lauchman, Leonid Sapronov and others,

So I've met with some local DC RE investors, and the consensus I've gathered is that there is a lot of interest in starting a meetup group for DC and the surrounding area. For those not familiar with Meetup.com, its a website where you organize meetings among people with similar hobbies.

This would be a group where new, inexperienced investors like me could find mentors or partnerships for their first investment, and the more experienced investors could offer advice, find partnerships, and find investment money. I would propose that the group stay true to the biggerpockets investment philosophy, offering free help without pressure to buy anything.

I am willing to organize this group but would request help from interested locals. It seems like a hotel conference room would work well, but I have no experience organizing something like this.

I am proposing that people send me their email in a colleague request, and I will setup the meetup.com group and email everyone link invites. From this we can guage the interest, and determine a good meeting ground based on how many people RSVP to a meetup. Let me know what you all think!

-Will
