Any interest in creating a small north DFW peer group?

[Alberto Camacho]

This is something I've been thinking of doing for months. Since I've been concentrating on a multifamily deal, my time to invest to fellow members has been somewhat limited. Well things should be changing very soon. Since I believe in the "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" I thought maybe a few individuals might be interested in meeting once a month as a local peer group. 

The premise here is to get a diverse group together once a month. We'd bounce ideas, problems, deal reviews, share experiences or whatever with the rest of the group. We'd work on goals and be held accountable for action or lack thereof. I'm looking for constructive participation obviously. 

It sounds like a mentoring group right, just I don't want it to be a series of newbies looking for a mentor. I'd like this to be a true peer group. I hope to attract a marketing person, a subject to person, a mortgage wrap person, a wholesale person, a flipper and a buy and hold investor.  Including myself (multifamily) we'd be at least 7 strong. Other skills are welcomed just I don't want the group to get too big. I'm trying to keep the group under 10 total. 

All participants will be beginners with a minimum 6 months to one year of real investing. We would all speak on what we're currently doing and the group would offer their insight as well as ask questions. I can host over a phone\web conference. You don't have to be next door but you need to be local. I do ask we all meet in person at some point. If you don't have 4 hours to invest once a month I'd request you not ask to participate. Easy to see how a small group could consume 4 hours easily. If there is enough interest I'd work on a more formal charter. 

What do you think? Any takers? Send me a note.
