Quote from @Noah Bacon: Recently I've seen a massive increase of homeowners rolling up their sleeves and taking on DIY projects either on their primary homes or on their rental properties.

I've seen so many investors in my area start their own meetups... anything from breakfast meetups, lunch at a local restaurant, grilling out/firepit in someone's backyard, etc.

I've got a local investment group that meets on Thursdays for breakfast.

I have lived in Puerto Rico since 2020 and I have invested in fix & flips, bed & breakfasts (2), a hotel, a triplex, a villa, a commercial complex and a large land development.   

You should stop by the Cash-Flow Breakfast club in Moco, great community/networking for real estate investing.

The package includes:- 3 nights at a 5-star, all-inclusive resort - All food and drink- Access to 3 keynotes and 60+ speakers and breakout sessions and guided networking - 3 evening events - Networking breakfast x2 and Networking lunch x2- Access to the exhibit hall, and more! 

I think VA is a better market in terms of price growth vs MD, and a lot of my investor clients agree.In terms of local networks for mentorship/networking/guidance, there are two I know of in NoVa that I have personally been to:NOVA REI Meetups - they meet at Tysons Mall once a month.Cash Flow Breakfast Clubs - there are a few locations including Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, etc.

I eat that stuff for breakfast.

Would anyone have any interest in a monthly breakfast/coffee meetup for private lenders and those buying/investing in notes?
