Any REI meetings Vancouver WA or Portland OR soon?

[James M.]

Greetings all

I have just joined this community a few weeks ago and the advice I see posted a lot is: Meet your local peers! 

When and where is the next meeting for biggerpockets members in the general Vancouver, WA area?  ....if not, would you like to get together with me and others for an informal meet and greet at a local puplic  place.  Vancouver's public library has a conference room open to the public; I think I could inquire about dates and times if enough people are interested. We could organize beagles, or donuts, coffee and/ juice and all chip in to cover the cost?

Topics/Questions: Where are the hot neighborhoods to buy and own or to rehab and flip; is the market saturated with opportunity hunters;  how long are properties on the market; average time from seeing/finding, closing, rehabbing, staging/marketing and reselling?  Just a few questions I might ask some of the investors in our neck of the woods.

What about you?

Is there an upcoming meeting of bp's in the Portland OR area?

I am looking forward to your replies and also to meeting a bunch of you in person.

thanks

James
