REIAs are a business and they need guest speakers who 95% of the time have something or service to sell.. informal meetups are a waste of time in my mind hate them.. boring.

According to Jerryll's ad, he was a speaker at BPCON 2021 meaning Bigger Pockets invited Jerryll to present at the huge BPCON event last year.

Very good   we sold 3 flips last month and working on 2 right nowWe bought a bunch to hold as well1 piece of advise - don’t buy on market I am buying w issues   I solve whatever issue and make a lot of equity or moneyStill hosting 2 nd weds of the month which was last week  and tonight I’m the guest speaker at the Reia You have my info  if I can bring you value let me know 

WAS IS very popular strategy in Texas to non English speakers.

You'll actually learn useful stuff and won't be set back 5 years with an upsell.There's a Summit in Oakland CA at the end of August where there's a ton of speakers that post on BP, but it's not an official BP event.

She wouldn't put her on speaker phone and wouldn't let me speak to her on the phone directly. 

He is a great speaker and salesmen of his product, that is for sure!

There are some out there that invite speakers versus take checks from speakers.

My advice is if you cant easily afford it and you have to put it on a CC.. rethink that.. networking is great but there are all sorts of meetups and REIA clubs that are basically free that have speakers come in and talk on all these subjects.
