The second meeting will take place July 21st at 630pm! We will expand on the discussion that we had last time and feature one of our attendees who had a deal go through this weekend! Looking forward to seeing all you new investors there! 

Also- for those looking for a live stream, we will be doing that in our third meeting. Hang tight!

Hey guys! Keep an eye on the "Real Estate Events and Happenings" forum. I will post the next meeting in there for July 21st like Brian mentioned. I just need to figure out where to have it. I liked the Brass Tap here in Charlotte, but live stream over the internet would be a challenge there. Let me think about it! I'll probably post on Thursday, a week before the meeting, but the date is pretty set.

Welcome to Charlotte REI, Frank! BP is a great community. Let me know if you ever want to sit down for a cup of coffee!

Thanks Dave! See you guys there!

Hey everyone! We will be hosting the first ever New Investor Meeting at the Brass Tap in Charlotte NC! It will be a laid back atmosphere where people with one deal or less under their belt can come and meet other investors in the beginning of their REI careers. I plan on making a few handouts to get people thinking about what they are hoping for in real estate. Hope to see you there! Brass Tap

I've gotten a lot of feedback and interest, so I'm working on putting something together and will put it on the Events and Happenings page that BP has created for stuff like this. It will be located in Charlotte.

Thanks guys!

Maybe I can set up a conference call or Skype/Webex with my Mac at the meeting for our out-of-towners :) 

Curtis there is no profit motive here, not sure why that was even mentioned. It would be nice to meet as a group of new investors, have discussions without fear of sounding stupid in front of experienced investors, or networking with people at the same stage of investing. Can go to the other meet ups too of course.

Hey guys!

I am thinking about making a meetup group for the Charlotte NC metro area for anyone who is interested in real estate investing, but has never done a deal. I'm talking brand new, zero experience. Whether you want to buy/hold, flip, or wholesale, I want there to be a place to start from scratch.

I know there are other investor meetups in Charlotte (and those are great), but there's something a bit more relate-able about sitting around with people that have the same amount (or lack of) experience as you. We've all got to start somewhere!

I was thinking about scheduling some time middle of next week (June 29 or so) if people were interested in doing this.

If it is wooded or some kind of "camping" feel to it could you build a couple of "tiny houses" or "upscale tents"? Rent them out on the weekends? Obv looking at zoning laws first, as mentioned in above comments. My wife and I are going "Glamping" in Asheville in a huge tent with a hot tub and shower and fridge and everything and it is not cheap. Crazy idea, but you said creative! I met a builder who said he would try building them if asked nicely! PM me if you want more info or ideas!
