Hi All,

Our meet-up has been getting about 50+/- people the last few months and it's been rocking! I am sorry for the late poston this one - but we are on for the last Wednesday of the month.  PLEASE POST BELOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT AND WHAT TOWN YOU'RE COMING FROM.

Date: Wednesday, May 31st! (Last Wednesday of every month - so please mark your calendars, except Nov. and Dec.)

Place: Anna Liffey's (an awesome Irish pub) located at 1494 Post Rd, Fairfield CT 06824 NOTE: We are in the back room (http://annaliffeys.com). [NOTE: If you come before 7pm, many people are scattered in the bar in the front.]

Time: 7PM mingle. At 7:30pm we go around room to introduce everyone so you can let everyone know what you do and who you would like to meet at the event (brokers, lenders, wholesalers, investors, attorneys, insurance agents, and more.)

No Cost: It's FREE! Okay it's almost free - please buy drink(s) and food from the bar.

[*Important* Note]: There is a Happy Hour from 4pm - 7pm before the event starts. I think it's half-off most drinks ($3 craft beers).

Also, if you're from any of these areas or know someone that is that might benefit from the meet-up, please invite them: Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Middlesex, New London, Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, Norwalk, Westport, Bridgeport, Stratford, Trumbull, Wilton, Weston, New Canaan, Easton, Milford, Shelton, Ansonia, Orange, West Haven, East Haven, Branford, Hamden, Naugatuck, Wallingford, Middletown, Cheshire, Woodbridge, Danbury, Newtown, Oxford, Southbury, Middlebury, Waterbury, New Britain, Bristol, Meriden, Southington, Newington, Madison, New London, Killingworth, Seymour, Plainville, Bethel, Redding, Guilford and there's no doubt that I missed more cities, so please let your colleagues know to come.

@Francisco Perez

Congrats on your deal! There are many great local investors in Connecticut. You should look into their local real estate meet-ups. @Stephanie Cabral has one in Rocky Hill there is another one in Manchester, CT; we host one in Fairfield, CT.

Best of luck to you!

@Michael Anspach

We ended up going directly to a regional lender and it has worked out well (although I've made some very good brokerage connections in the past couple of years that might have worked as well).

Funny timing for you to ask though because we are in the process of refinancing out of the deal. We received an offer for nearly double what we bought it for, but are instead pulling out all of the capital we invested in (and then some) and are going with the BRRRR strategy.
