Congrats @Daniel Ryu - this is awesome!

Hi Connecticut Investors,

We have been having meet-ups at Anna Liffey's in Fairfield, (last month we had about 35 investors/service professionals) and we're looking forward to seeing everyone for the February 25 meet-up! 

It's at a local bar, it's 100% free (no pitching, no lectures or other products) - it's a relaxed environment. The meet-up is from 7pm - 9pm, and around 7:45pm everyone has been introducing themselves to the group.

Please post if you can make it!

Also, please buy one drink (non-alcoholic is fine) from the bar to support Anna Liffey's for allowing us to use their space.

We have had buy-and-hold investors, rehabbers, wholesalers, agents, commercial brokers, lenders, syndicators, a BP podcast guest, attorneys, and other service professionals from all over the state of Connecticut.

[Anna Liffey's is located @ 1494 Post Road, Fairfield CT 06824 (http://annaliffeys.com/), and the back room is reserved for us. ACROSS THE STREET FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET THERE IS A FREE PUBLIC PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET.]

Welcome @Zachary Deane looking forward to seeing you around the site and possibly in CT. 

Congrats @Evan Manship ! Awesome stuff, and the numbers look good. 

Congrats @Justin H. ! Really happy to hear you succeed after some things fell through initially.

Thanks @Darren Sager . I'm looking forward to being at another great meet-up.

Also, thanks Matt Rodak!

@LEON GOUSMAN we use someone based out of NY who we trust and has given us competitive rates. Feel free to PM me if you'd like the contact information.

@Isral Konopa it's a great question! 

There are many sellers the most money does not equate to the best situation.

As an example, if an owner is going to be foreclosed on shortly, the most money may not be as important to them as walking away without being foreclosed on, or even some money in their pockets. 

Other sellers might have an estate in probate where some extra money may not be as important to them as getting cash quickly for whatever reasons they need it. 

Some sellers might not want to have the stress of showing their property, cleaning it up, may have bad evictions that they don't want to deal with, managing a property from afar, and others just want the convenience that a creative investor can give them.

The most money is not always the best deal. If you can find sellers that need help and provide a solution you are not taking advantage but actually helping them out.

I also hang my license at The Higgins Group, and have been exceptionally happy there. I primarily have my license to invest in real estate, and thought the group has been a great resource. Feel free to message me if I cab bee if more help.

Best of luck in whichever direction you choose.

@Michael Lovell looking forward to meeting you in February. At around 7:45PM we go around the room introducing ourselves, so that gives a good opportunity to get to know who is there.

See you on the 25th (post to follow this week).
