@Thomas Ingles they open the doors at 5 pm for networking with the meeting officially starting at 6 pm. The meeting will go until 9 pm with another 15 minute break in the middle for networking. If you Google it, you can find out more details about how to attend your first meeting at no cost, the various classes available, and a calendar of events.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Tom! It's a great resource with many helpful people. Locally you should check out CFRI (Central Florida Realty Investors)... they have a general meeting in Orlando next Wednesday and the Volusia County group, co-chaired by Art Musselman, meets monthly in Daytona. Wishing you the best with your new venture!

Pedro, welcome to BiggerPockets! If you are going to the CFRI general meeting, you should try to connect with Charles Fischer and Chris McClatchey. They run the Brevard CFRI group that meets in Merritt Island and is always well attended.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Karma! You might want to check into CFRI (Central Florida Realty Investors). The general meeting is coming up in a couple of weeks, plus they have a focus group that specializes in commercial.

Additionally, try researching Chris McClatchey, along with Jonathan Rivera. Jonathan also lives in Sanford and just interviewed @Joshua Dorkin for his podcast "Making Agents Rich."

Enjoy the site, and maybe we'll run into each other in Orlando.

It's the old saying... "it depends." I know several investors in Central Florida that buy them all the time and it can be quite lucrative, especially if the owner has been able to settle with their insurance company.

You might want to want to catch up with Hunter Paschall in Longwood. Hunter specializes in negotiating short sales, and was very active at CFRI.

Why am I unable to scroll through all of the posts on a long thread using the Bigger Pockets app? I will get about 3/4 of the way through the thread and then it won't let me scroll anymore.

Steve K I understand the hesitation to take a course and it turn out to be just an "infomercial" trying to upsell. I always wonder the same thing... if the business is so great, why are they teaching it to everyone else?

In Sandra's case, she is just passionate about helping others, plus it opens up opportunities for her to JV. She is known as the "Tax Queen", so I'm sure that you can do a search and come up with more information about her.

Currently she is the Vice President of CFRI and also involved with the national organization. I know that she does private coaching, but she has never pushed that when I've heard her speak (She was just at our local forum group last night and freely gave some great information as a preview of this coming Saturday.)

If I didn't already have a prior commitment I would be there Saturday. I don't have anything to gain by talking up the course, just wanted to share my "take" on what is being offered. Most of the courses offered through CFRI are great and you get a lot of content for the money... I believe this one will also fall into that category.

And yes, when the REIAs bring in national speakers I believe you have to understand why they are coming there... to sell their courses.

Sandra is local and a full time investor making her living from tax deeds, so the content will be relevant to Central Florida.
