There are several located in the NW side of Gainesville. Have your friend check out Zillow. 

Hi Jose! We've got an REI meetup that's meets monthly and we'd love to have you join. The next meetup is July 18th. Send me a message and I can get you added into our Facebook group so you can get all the updates on events and more.

Hi, I am an agent as well as an investor myself. I would be happy to help in the Gainesville area. Feel free to reach out.

They should rename it Ripoffcon.  Has a better ring to it.

You realize this is the cost for your ticket for the event, your room, all your food and drinks and activities on the resort right? It’s an all inclusive vacation plus the conference. Kind of a no brainer for cost when it comes to all that. Don’t diss it just because you can’t afford to go.

Yea, that's it.  I'm a broke developer who owns 400+ units in the NYC area, but cannot afford to go. Yep, you caught me.

Go if you like, but it's a waste of money.  I prefer to travel with my points and stay anywhere I want for free.  Cause, you know, that's how us broke people do it.  

Just because you personally don’t see the value in an event like this doesn’t mean that it’s not beneficial for thousands of others.  there are other areas around the country that don’t have a good REI group and meetups so they’re not learning anything locally. I completely agree that there are lots of other ways that are free for somebody to learn and grow. But where are you going to find the networking like this? Beginners, somebody who’s done just a couple deals or somebody who wants to expand their knowledge on another topic or learn a different avenue of investing plus the connections you build is worth it. Just because you’ve been doing this for so long and feel like you can’t get any better because you’re doing everything perfectly already doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be a good event for you to go to. Everybody can always grow as long as you’re willing to.

I would definitely recommend Matchmaker Realty. Call Jennie Boymer at 352-558-4474 and tell her Jenn sent you. She’s been a property manager for over a decade and will give great service! 

Thank you for your reference. However, this company has very low rating on Google with many 1* reviews 😞

I am a local realtor here in Gainesville, and I can guarantee that she is top-notch. A lot of reviews that get put are going to be coming from a disgruntled tenant who get their security deposit back or had some other issue due to their own fault. You generally don’t find tenants putting good reviews after they’ve had a good rental experience. You don’t have to reach out, but definitely don’t bypass her just because of the reviews. I would definitely speak to her and maybe even some others will chime in on the post and confirm how good she is.
