Welcome to our real estate meetup group!

We host two meetups around DFW area every month and this Saturday, October 4th at 8AM is our free morning meetup. This is a great opportunity to meet and network with other people who are either already in the real estate investing world or are looking to begin and just need some guidance. We focus on making intentional connections and how to build a network of friends who can help each other. Come mingle and brainstorm with others and see what they are learning or are currently doing in the real estate industry. Real estate is a team sport and we'd love to have you! Coffee and donuts will be provided so please be sure to RSVP. We hope to see you there!

RSVP here!

@Jay Hinrichs See post sir! I am sure you have a connection.

Just sent you a connection request with a contact that can probably help

I can help, send me a dm! I house hacked my first 4 homes when I was 20,21,22,23 and even convinced my wife to house hack our first house. And if I can help you find a deal, I will also buy you a BPCon ticket for this year or next.

I used to spend a ton of time looking for my next rental or flip. Now I let BirdDog AI handle it for me when I am in buying season. BirdDog AI's property retriever scans images on the MLS, and sends them directly to you, if it detects the house needs work- there is nothing like this on the market today.

BirdDog AI will also let you send one-click contracts. Unlike other automation software out there, BirdDog uses your official states real estate contract and packages it up with your pre-approval letter to get responses from listing agents and make deals. If you visit www.birddogwoof.com, you can see 8 purchases I have made this year (2025) from the software. 

BirdDog AI is for BEGINNNERS and PROFESIONALS alike,  just schedule a quick call and see how it can help you achieve your real estate goals.

If you’re curious, we’re offering the software for FREE, along with a FREE TICKET to BPCon 2026 when you close your first deal using the software. No catch (maybe a free t-shirt too). Schedule a call below, get off the sidelines, and get accountability for your next rental or flip acquisition.

Investor Q&A with Richard — Real Estate in DFW
Google video call link: https://meet.google.com/xsx-pxfx-kaq

📅 Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays
⏰ 3:00 PM Central

Join me three times a week for a live Q&A session built for real estate investors at every level. I actively flip 20–30 houses a year in the DFW area and currently manage a portfolio of 30 single-family rentals and 10 ADUs that I built, spread across long-term, mid-term, and short-term strategies.

These sessions are designed to:

• Help new members navigate their first deals and avoid common mistakes.
• Share best practices and lessons learned with seasoned investors.
• Build a collaborative space where we can all grow together.

This is not a sales pitch — just free, open discussion and guidance. I’m still learning every day myself, so if I don’t have the answer, I’ll do my best to connect you with someone who does.

Whether you’re looking to flip, buy-and-hold, or explore ADUs, this is a great place to ask questions, share insights, and network with other like-minded investors.

Would you rather have a 1-on-1? Schedule a 30 minute call in my calendar. https://calendly.com/team-birddogwoof/30min

Hey yall! I flip and hold SFR. If you can find a niche that works and makes you more efficient, it changes everything. I built something cool around it (well a developer did), but I am the visionary and have closed 8 houses this year with it. It really is just taking what we have been doing for years and making it about 20x more efficient in time savings. I sent yall both a dm

 Hey Nicholas, there are some pretty useful tools our there with AI that help new investors, its insanely robust and only getting better. Would love to share with you my solution in AI if youd like to make time for some intros. @John Geringer I believe there is a wealth of knowledge in these forums. Including what Nicholas shared and what you have discerned yourself. What do you need help with as far as accountability?
