One that I belong to charges $25 per meeting but that includes dinner.

@Van Blackman and @Chris Titcomb CAREIA keeps a calendar for their upcoming events at their website careia.org, and you can also see their events on meetup.com/CAREIA/.Their next event is the Member Appreciation Dinner on Nov 13th that unfortunately registration has ended, but the following event is "Play Cash Flow 101 and 202" on Nov 16th which is a free event.

Nice dinner followed by presentation on a topic then Q & A with an expert guest on the topic.

We would love to buy you dinner if your free.

Did you want to get together with these strangers for dinner?

Dinner and drinks and at least 3 people there always who are doing deals.  

We offered to take them out to a nearby restaurant and pay for their dinner.  

They'll be worth taking to dinner as often as they'll let you.Mount Pleasant or bay city may have one also.

Think about doing some lease option assignments and sub2 purchase then lease outs where you are, easier than wholesaling. see my profile for free negotiation for newbies. http://www.biggerpockets.com/users/REISkills In Baltimore talk to @Ned Carey , buy him some dinner, he'll help you some how.

Terry Kerr is a good guy; I am having dinner with him next week.
