Monthly Meet Up / Networking

[Dustin Hawks]

Hello All! 

I would like to set up a Topeka Meet Up/Networking group that meets monthly if possible. The goal would be to help each other in our various businesses. I have had a few deals that I have come across in the last couple of months that weren't a fit for me but I have helped others acquire these properties. I would bet the deals I am looking for someone else has passed on or referred them to others. This would be for everyone. Buy and Hold, Wholesaling, Flipping, etc.

I @ anyone I could that had replied to this thread.  I'm in Topeka now and interested in meeting with folks.  Could drop by my business or meet for coffee.  Blackbird's seems to be a nice place for a meeting.  Still learning the city.

Hoping to expand my network here.  After having to relocate quickly and become a renter for the first time in my life I realize there is a gigantic hole in the market here and it's ripe for opportunity.  My experience so far is Topeka is full of bad landlords with low quality overpriced rentals, not to mention the differences in RE prices from Wichita.  I'm a bit shellshocked at the lack of anything quality sub 200k.  Much less the poor quality housing we looked at for 1200 or less to rent.  

Sorry for ranting a bit - I'm shell shocked from the differences in Topeka vs Wichita, but where there is a problem there is an opportunity.

Also could someone local to the area explain to me why even on 200-300k houses I'm seeing cheap LOW quality 4x8 sheets of siding being installed on homes and some new construction homes at that?  I've been completely appalled that is happening here?  No one know how to install LP smart lap or James Hardi cement siding?

Lets meet up and make Topeka a better housing market - it needs some energy and life injected into it!!!

(If anyone could help me - we have an empty office space in need of a bit of attention that could use some sprucing up and would make a nice meeting space.  (Walkout basement that backs up to a park)  Anyways a suggestion.
