This meeting is for experienced investors only.

I have learned a ton from it, and I look forward to being around, and meeting people in the community in the the future.

And did the Turnkey operator encourage you on your first purchase to come out, meet them and walk through the property?

Was good to meet some vendors too.

I am joining this forum to learn as much as possible before making my first purchase and to meet like minded investors in the Bay Area.  

It also sounded crazy to a lady I spoke with at a local REIA meeting I attended last night.

With this goal in mind, I have been trying to seek out people who have similar interests to meet and chat with.

I've actually got a real estate license here in Texas (Home Team of America) that I only use for my personal investments and to help out friends/family.I'm wide open to meet folks, add value to the conversation where I can, and soak up information like a sponge.I'd love to chat/network with other investors in SA who're actually doing deals (not kicking the tires).

You're welcome to stop by our local REI meeting.
