What do you all think? First graphic made ever! Canva made it easy!!! :) @Al Williamson ? @Beau Eckstein? (people who actually know what they're doing ;) Banner for the event and page.. Doesn't quite match website colors... huh? But..

Check it out and become friends on the Facebook page , where I've introduced some of the speakers..

I've learned SO much from these speakers on their podcasts!! (let alone actually putting on the event and starting to meet people..) Can't wait for the actual event to get the next tip that leads me to the next investment, meeting a great contact to blow up my business, and of course.. Have an awesome time!!! :)

@Matthew Whelan,

I don't plan on buying until unemployment goes up and things soften, but there are still some 1% deals in Richmond, not far from the BART station, after you raise rents. I own some property out there, and in Oakland.

Still cash flow in some spots, but lower-end tenants..

Start coming out to some meetups and talk to the other investors doing it!!

@Erik Carlson,

Welcome to BP! Thanks for the shoutout about the SF meetup @Samir Pathak . We meet there monthly. And the Milpitas and San Jose meetups are with @Johnson H. and @Jeff Pollack. Worth driving down for (actually, speaking next week at Jeff's!).

The forums are great, as are the podcasts. A lot of people thought it was too hard to get started in the Bay Area, but a lot of us are also no longer working our W2 jobs, and own properties in the Bay Area.. so there you go!! I own in Oakland and Richmond.

Search "house hacking" on this site. There are lots of helpful investors here in the Bay Area.. Tag me if you have any questions! :)

 Thought I would try one last time!! ;)

Can't blame you if you'll be in Hawaii Darren! :) @Account Closed's going to be in the lower 48, but isn't making it either! Hopefully you can both make it next year :)

 Hey Ruben!

Stoked to see you flying out from New York City for the event! Wish @Darren Sager could follow you out! @Brian Burke is going to be talking about blowing it up transitioning from partnerships to syndications, and blowing up your business - with a focus on multifamily. @Elizabeth Colegrove is also speaking and has worked as a full-time property manager, and as a remote manager managing her own properties - so she might have some good advice for you on the third party property manager.

For flipping out of state, @David Greene should be in attendance, and buys, fixed, and holds or sells houses in another state while he is working here in CA. I believe moderator @Jeff Pollack has also done some out of state flips.

Hopefully that helps!

@Alice K. , glad you're dumping the wedding for us!

And yes, hopefully @Account Closed comes to celebrate at least 1 birthday day with us!!

I still remember the first day I met Minh. We were at one of my first meetups, at a bar, and he was standing against the wall by himself, listening. I thought maybe he was a shy, new investor, and didn't want to hop in the mix. I felt bad, so I went and talked to him. Turns out he was just listening! And not quite a new investor! lol The rest is history! Tell your wives and partners you won't be home until after at least midnight if you're out with me at a meetup! lol

@Rome Xu,

You can absolutely get a loan on a fourplex if you qualify.

@Chris Mason said, a lot of the pros (and a couple hundred investors) will be meeting up in Oakland next weekend. Great place to get connected if you can make it..

There is also lots of info on the forums and podcasts here on BP.. Don't neglect it!

@Account Closed,

You can also find 4plexes at about the 1% rule in Richmond, after you raise rents.. I have a couple properties out there.. But they tend to decline in value during downturns. If you're holding for long term and getting cash flow, maybe not a big deal..
