Looking to make it out there to look at some communities to invest in and would like to attend a training if possible. Thanks!

The Minneapolis REI Meetup Group will be getting together this month at Luce Line Brewery to discuss "Long Distance Investing Strategies" as presented in David Greene's BP Book. It will be a great opportunity to learn, network and share your REI experiences. Looking forward to nice weather, brews, and great discussions with everyone about their own investing journey. Hope to see you there, cheers!

Quote from @Walter Pineda:

Hi my name is Walter and I will be visiting Minneapolis on the week of 6/18 and was wondering if you will be having a meet up on that week.

Hello Walter,

Thanks for reaching out. Currently we are working on our next topic and landing the day of our get together for June. I am thinking that it will likely be Thursday the 22nd so you are probably in luck if you will be in town that week. They are a great opportunity to network and learn more great REI practices. Be on the lookout for more information. You can always follow us on Instagram and FB. DM if you have any other questions, cheers!

Post: Offer month-to-month lease to good tenants?

Hey Sam. A lot of good advise here. Personally I would allow month to month at an increased rate but then put in place a mandatory stay period between Oct-Feb to ensure you are better positioned during slow season. Demand will cool and your tenant selection pool may not be as ideal. Best of luck man!

Hello Timothy. Congrats on committing to personal investing. Real estate is an awesome wealth building tool. I haven't done any of the BP bootcamps, but I do know that there are several real estate investor (REI) meetups that can get you started by both learning different types of real estate investing and also expand your network. Hope to connect on here and I can get you some more details. Cheers!

Let's Go!!! This month's REI meetup is dedicated to "Nailing Your Numbers". Yes - we will be doing the math on a couple of deals (LTRs). By sharpening our pencils, attendees will takeaway valuable insights on cashflow analysis and be better positioned to evaluate investment opportunities!

Hello Amarion,

I would echo the same sentiment from several of the folks commenting here as they encourage house hacking. Very good way to supercharge your REI journey. Just an FYI, this is actually the topic of our Real Estate Investor meetup this evening. I can DM you some details if your interested but we meet monthly and post on here where/when. Hope this helps and we get a chance to meet/network in the future! - Jacob
