Josh,
If your event is as informative & successful as BP forum is now, your conference will ROCK!!!!
1) If BiggerPockets put on a conference, would you want to attend?
YES!!
2) Would you be willing to travel (fly) to attend such an event?
Yes, but not too far as there is a need to adjust to time difference, especially 3 hours! The cost of flying in a day earlier to adjust is additional monies.
3) Do you think 2 days would be adequate for a first shot at it?
2 days would be perfect, otherwise it could be an overload
4) What kinds of ideas do you have for sessions?
My thoughts would be in categories- beginner-no experience, no flips or buy & holds, etc, complete virgin, sessions or education would be based on that
medium experience-someone who has completed 3 or more-topics geared to that group
advanced-same here too
Private Funding is a real big topic.
Basically attending different sessions, but certain topics require more time than others. Cant seat for the entire time, would lose the attendees, moving from room to room.
Bottom line, topics that we can run with when we go home!
5) What would a BP conference look like to you?
Please dont use WF or BofA or any big banks because dealing with big banks on a daily basis havent convinced me that they are willing to work with consumers. I'd prefer to hear from some HML & Private Money speakers who actually can explain to us what they are looking for when they are approached by us. Possibly Credit Unions & Community Banks who have worked with RE Investors & share their criteria.
Think I gave you feedback for this in the last question.
6) Of the real estate and other events that you've attended, what is the one thing that you've liked the most?
The educational part from experts & experienced investors from different parts of the country
7) The least?
Bringing in speakers whose goal is only to sell their products!!!!
Feel free to add anything else to your post . . . I'm just looking to determine the level of enthusiasm and to get some ideas from all of you.
For me, personally it is how to find private funding because I realize that our own cash can only do 2 deals at a time, so now we are looking to flip 3-4 at the same time. In order to accomplish this, I need to learn how to find private funding.
So . . . are you psyched?
1000%
Debating to attend a 3 day Private Funding event in July, so if BP is having a conference, I'd forgo this, since it will cost me a lot of money! So I hope you can organize this soon! Will be in Hon & Kaui from end of Aug to Mid of Sept, hint, hint, LOL!!!
Thank you so much for your BP Forum!! It has helped me with our Investing Journey!!!
