Charles , feel free to join in! The meetings information is a few posts up in this thread.

Jacob, sorry you can't make it, I'll be sure to let you know of any future meetings!

Good morning everyone!  It appears we have about 6 or 7 people interested in the meetup.  So I'm proposing we meet at the Noble & Main Coffee Shop in Cartersville GA this Wednesday.

Who:  Anyone interested

What: REI Meetup

When: July 11th, at 7:00 pm

Where:  Noble & Main Coffee Co., 145 West Main St, Cartersville, GA 30120

A couple of notes:  This meetup is not affiliated with any groups, my intent is simply to enable this as a monthly networking event for the Bartow/Cherokee County areas.  As this is the first meet up there's currently no agenda, it's just simply meant to evaluate interest of members in the area and network.  If it shows that there is significant interest we can look at getting a larger meetup location or a more formal meeting structure.  But for now, this is just a monthly networking event.

Y'all, just wanted to follow up:

There definitely seems to be enough interest to have a meetup.  I'm looking at having the meetup in one of the local coffee shops there in downtown Cartersville, and I'm shooting for Wednesday, July 11th at 7:00.  I'll keep you updated and continue to reach out for more attendees!

James, wish you the best sorry you cant make it!  But we certainly wouldn't be opposed to you showing up later!

@Julie Kern Got it!  You're on the list!

@Jerry Chatman got it, you're on the list!

So it seems like there is some interest and since there is no currently organized one in the area, I think I'm going to start a meetup that will meetup in Cartersville, GA.  If interested please PM me, if there is not enough interest then I'll cancel, but I'm going to shoot for the first meeting to be Wednesday, July 11th!

Through my W2 employer I've learned how to take 360-degree photos and stitch them together into a virtual tour where you can then go online and "walk" through the house.

I'm now trying to decide if it would be worth it to purchase the license for the software and camera for my personal use and begin offering this service to other realtors and investors, and do it for my own properties.  Given the cost to purchase the software and camera, it lives me with a few things to consider.

My questions are:

Does anyone know of any statistics to justify providing this service?  For example, will a house sell/rent more quickly if it has a tour?  Can you get a better price if it has a tour?  Or does it spare you time in not having to show the house to as many people?

If anyone has any thoughts, data, or information on this topic I would love to discuss this further!

Does anyone know of any meet-ups in Cherokee County, or would anyone be interested in starting one?

@Micah Redden Okay great, thanks!  I'll follow up!

@Ethan Henning Thanks for the help!  We'll be in touch!
