Hey gang - A partner and I just started a local RE investor meetup.Q: For anyone that attends these regularly or runs one....what are some of your best practices/tips/tricks to keep your audience engaged and growing?

It take more than 115k for a full gut reno on 1000sqft in philly. lol

Also, I am connected with a lot of sophisticated investors on Linkedin and I don't want to lose their respect because I am starting to post educational content when I have never done any transactions.What do you think?

DM us if you'd like a more focused chat:)

@Ramsey Doumani This is a great plan.

So I just wanted to present the raw facts, hear everyone's opinions, and obviously gain some knowledge and tips from investors! 

If you're considering purchasing under a business name, consult a CPA or attorney for setup and financing options.

Pay attention to 99% of the posts on Bigger Pockets, most folks here have very little money.

Not sure how many PMCs you've had bad experiences with, but we'll take exception to:"Then do a thorough research on tenant applicants (note: leaving this to a PM may be hazardous to your financial health)".BP seems to have more threads about screening mistakes by DIY landlords as opposed to PMCs.Now, if you'd have mentioned Maintenance, you'd get no argument from me:) Even the PMC industry acknowledges maintenance as one of the biggest challenges.Rereading my post, I kinda see how I sounded negative toward PMs.
