There are also other meetup groups and a BP meetup on Dec.4 at Limericks pub @7pm. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/63...I would also suggest REIN, the meetings are quite good and they are introducing some new real estate technologies and changing the direction of REIN.

Pretty expensive still, but that technology is on its way.
