Diana Yun I too prefer a smaller, more intimate setting. Whether its REI or any other category, I feel the ability to actually connect with someone is what will make me want to potentially work with them down the line. Thank you for your response!

Giovanny Garcia good luck on your ventures!

@Alexander Felice Great insight there. Much of what I feel mirrors your thoughts. Thank you for your comment!

Chris Mason definitely agree! Have to do your best to help everyone feel comfortable. You never know who will share the golden nuggets of advice that set you on a great path. It could be the person most nervous to talk. It's a necessity to get everyone communicating!

Hey, everyone!

I am just starting my journey into REI. As with most who catch the bug, my mind seems to be completely consumed with thoughts dealing with this common bond that brings us all together.

I was thinking earlier about my first experiences with REI meetups. There were portions that I liked and portions that I thought could be improved upon.

I believe that group cohesiveness and openness are two keys to creating the best environment for people to interact whether they be someone new to REI, like myself, or the most experienced member of a meetup.

I am curious...What in your opinion makes for the most optimal meetup?

• Is it group size?
• A certain type of guest speaker?
• Proper introductions?
• Organized or free flow structure?

A goal of mine is to organize a meetup for investors in my area. Providing a space that fosters growth and for a greater sense of community within my local REI market. For those who might be curious, I live in Southeastern PA, just outside of Philadelphia.

Let me know what you think!

@Ben Leybovich I figure out of the 30,000 sq. ft of that mansion I could manage to find myself a quiet corner or two. I hear their daughter Blue Ivy is one hell of a strict property manager though, hope she accepts my rent in the form of IOUs.

As I am just starting out, I have put a moratorium on purchasing books until I finish the group that I have recently compiled. 

Clearly, Jay and Beyoncé are just setting up the "Luxury House Hack" that @Ben Leybovich has been posting about as of late.

@Tom Doherty  Thank you for your response! 

I have been running the numbers on multiple properties over the last few weeks. I had an automated email service from the MLS created for me by an agent I have communicated with.

I have been using the BP analysis tools as a way to familiarize myself with the process; however, every now and then I do the number crunching on my own in an effort to make sure I have some of the formulas down.

I have been thinking about the BRRRR method quite a bit and would like to learn more about it. I recently bought

@Brandon Turner  's "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and low) Money Down." Although I have been doing my best to learn from the site, as the guys on the podcast said, these books are just a way to get the info in a clear and concise format. Excited to see what I can get from it.

My original first investment goal has been to House Hack a multifamily property, simply for the ability to get my feet wet and remove the cost associated with living on your own. I am not married to the idea; however, at this time I see it as my primary option. 

What I will have to decide is if my market and the areas I am able to live in (at the moment) will allow for a house hack to be a legitimate option! 

Thanks Patrick Liska for the reply! I should have clarified, I am interested in long term buy and hold. Like you said, a positive cash flow and the ability to pay down the mortgage with the income is the strategy at this moment. I find that strategy to serve me the best in accordance with my strengths and abilities. My goal is to first house hack a multi family property and focus primarily on multi family properties as I go along.
