Richard, thank you for the heads up. Networking is nice, but I'm not trying to play the guru game
Hi David - I just wanted to chime in on the REIA. I've been a few times recently and have found it to be helpful. Yes, some of the talks are sales pitches, but I've still learned good information from them. Also, each time I've been there are hardly any seats left -- so lots of participation and networking. I've met people from all over the board, too - handymen, hard money lenders, wholesalers. I would go check it out for yourself a couple of times-- I think it's worth the $15 at the door (sometimes it's free).
Apart from the REIA, I am very close to starting a regular investor meetup that will be just causal networking over happy hour, coffee, etc. I've been searching for something like this an decided I should just pull the trigger myself! Once I get things squared away, I'll start an event/post on BP to make sure I get the word out to you and other Chattanooga BP members. If anyone reading this is interested in helping, please feel free to message me!
Great to hear that you're taking full advantage of BP - it's where I started, too!
Take care,
Jenna
