@Nicholas Gomez, yes, still doing these.  Third Wednesday of the month at Archetype Brewing on Broadway downtown at 6pm.  Also, fourth Wednesday at High Five Coffee at 2000 Riverside Drive at 9am.  If you want to message me your email, I can put you on the reminder list and invite you to our Slack Channel.

@Josh Myrick, I'd agree with Ryan. I've got an investor friend that lives in that area. He bought a lot and built a new house like 4 years ago. He kind of overbuilt for the neighborhood and his contractor went over budget, so he moved in himself and did a STR in the Master bedroom (which has it's own entrance). The block around him has some overgrown lots and run down houses, but he's never had any issues with crime. His reviews are high on his STR as well.

FYI, I heard someone call Shiloh "East Biltmore Forest" the other day :-P

@Kat McReynolds, @Amy Pfaffman 
One is the third Wednesday of every month at Archetype Brewing on
Broadway downtown (not the West Asheville locations) at 6pm. The other
is every fourth Wednesday at 9am at High Five Coffee at 2000 Riverside
Drive, 28804. Both are the same, very casual. Sometimes we have 20 to
25 people, sometimes less than 10. Always a good mix of newbies, full
time investors, and everything in between.

Kat, drove by your two duplexes the other day, they turned out really nice!

@Amy Pfaffman, yes, we are still having these meet ups!  One is the third Wednesday of every month at Archetype Brewing on Broadway downtown (not the West Asheville locations) at 6pm.

@Christin Prince, hey!  We host a BP meetup twice a month.  If you'd like the info, message me your email and I'll add you to the list.

@Jonathan Duhon I don't know that there is "a champion of networking", and I feel like anyone who would boast this title is blowing smoke for self promotion.  The value is networking on your own and seeking out folks on BP, in local meet ups, CREIA, etc. that match what you are trying to accomplish.  While landing into town on a weekend and networking with a ton of great professionals sounds amazing, I don't think it's realistic.  Please let me know if you figure out how to arrange that situation!

Ask any specific questions here or reach out to me, Daniel, or Jordan individually.  I've had three STRs in Asheville and other areas.

Hey @Jonathan Duhon!  @Jordan Lockaby is an amazing realtor and an investor herself.

@Jordan Lockaby is an amazing realtor and she organizes a monthly BP meet up in Asheville.

@Nathan Toothaker We just had one last night.  We will have the next one next Wednesday morning at 9am at High Five Coffee at 2000 riverside Drive, 28806

@Andrew Kamberg, great!  Send me your email!
