New REIA / BP Meet-up starting in Fort Wayne, Indiana!

[Drew Wiard]

Hey everyone in and around Fort Wayne, Indiana!

As you may know, we have one REI group that meets locally, and they do a great job! That said, I feel as though there's an opportunity to offer something different. I would like to share a few key things I would like see in a new group, and would also GREATLY appreciate your feedback on a few things, so please respond with your thoughts and suggestions!

Key elements of the proposed group/meet-up:

- ALWAYS free.  No charges to attend, EVER.

- Local Investors learning from and assisting local investors. (no focus on national speakers)

- Monthly meetings, likely on a week-night

- Will be more than just "hanging out for dinner"....will have an agenda, and will progress through misc. segments so as to make sure there's value for both experienced investors as well as the new investors.  (Monthly Topical discussions, Deal analysis, General Q&A, etc..)

Questions I need your feedback on!

1)  What night of the week is best?  Tue, Wed or Thurs?

2)  What time is best?  6p-8p?  Others?

3)  Where to meet?  Someplace with food/dinner, or is food not a big deal?

4)  What else would you like to see from this group?  What are you not getting today that we can help with?

Thanks everyone!  Please let me know what thoughts you have!  Once I get some feedback, I'll the meeting scheduled for October if possible!

I haven't been to the other group that meets in FW, but I've been invited several times. With an active family, Saturdays are hard for me to attend. I have an interest in attending.

Food is not important to me. 7pm-9pm or 8pm-10pm might be better. Some people have church on Wednesday (not me). For me, Thursday usually works better than Tuesday, but that is always subject to change. I think you just pick a night and stick with it.
