Welcome @Mike Moles ! You're in the best place to learn about real estate investing and seems like you already got started with many of the great features that BP offers. 

You probably will want to set-up keyword alerts to be notified when a city or subject that you're interested comes up. Also, there will be a Connecticut Real Estate Meet-up on June 25 in Fairfield, CT (no cost to attend, and no pitches), and we would be thrilled for you to join us, if you're interested.

Happy investing , and feel free to PM me if I can help.

Hi BP Members in Connecticut and the surrounding areas we're back for ROUND 2 of our NO PITCH Real Estate CT Networking Event at Anna Liffey's in Fairfield! The first event had approximately 20+ folks join, and the feedback was very positive, and I look forward for that to continue.

The goals of this meet-up are to get local CT investors and real estate professionals to network, do [more] deals, and help all of us advance our real estate goals.

The event will run from 7pm - 9pm on Wednesday, June 25, and around 7:45pm/8pm everyone will briefly introduce themselves to the group. Please note there will be no public pitching, no cost to attend, and no sponsor. Also, it will be casual, so dress however you feel most comfortable. My only request is that you buy at least one drink (non-alcoholic is fine) from the bar to support Anna Liffey's for allowing us to use their space.

Please post if you can make it, and feel free to invite someone who you think might benefit or add to the event. 

If you're from any of these areas, I hope you can make it: 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.

Anna Liffey's is located @ 1494 Post Road, Fairfield CT 06824 (http://annaliffeys.com/), and the back room is reserved for us. FYI: ANNA LIFFEY'S IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM VICTORIA'S SECRET, AND THERE IS A FREE PUBLIC PARKING ACROSS THE STREET AFTER 7PM.

Thanks to everyone for coming out last night - it was great meeting many of the local investors in the CT area! I think we had just over 20 investors in attendance, and I hope that we can continue this monthly.

Keep an eye out for the next event, it will probably be the last week of June. Also, if you have any feedback please post it, or private message me. Thanks again!

(FYI: if you know other BP members, or investors that might want to join this event, please let them know to come.

Looking forward to seeing everyone:

Our CT Real Estate Investor Meet-Up location is confirmed: ANNA LIFFEY'S @ 1494 Post Road, Fairfield CT 06824 (http://annaliffeys.com/). They reserved the back room for us from 7pm - 8:30pm.

Around 7:30pm I would like for everyone to introduce themselves and what their real estate goals are, so if possible please try to be there for that.

There is no cost of admission, and no drink minimum. However, I encourage everyone to order one drink/beverage to support Anna Liffey's, and allowing us to use their party room.

It looks like we have a nice mix of investors, rehabbers, buy-and-holds, wholesalers, GC 's, commercial brokers, mortgage brokers, Realtors, spec builders, newbies, real estate attorneys and more from the surrounding CT area.

Also, if you haven't responded and are in any of these towns in the Connecticut area, it will be a great place to meet local real estate investors and service providers so we can all do more deals and do it more efficiently:

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 (no doubt that I missed more cities, so please let your colleagues know to come.)
