Do you have information for a local club for the inland empire and a meet up?

My wife is an architect and we have private investment capital available, but we don't have that much experience in the CA market so we'd like to meet people involved in new construction (passive house), add value projects, as well as re-entitlement and fix and flips.  

I am excited to be apart of such a great community and hope to continually learn from all of the BP industry professionals.As of now, I am in the learning/networking stage of all things real estate and hope to meet a few mentors who can guide me with real world experiences.

While most Net Zero buildings are energy efficient, perhaps even highly so in comparison to minimum building code requirements, there is nothing requiring them to anywhere new the efficiency level of a Passivhaus   .... this is why you will see odd things like warehouses with large rooftop solar installations being able to claim Net Zero.On the other hand, Passivhaus sets three metrics which a building must meet to be certified as Passivhaus compliant:  The building must have a heating and cooling demand of not more than 15 kWh/m2 (4,755 BTU/sq ft; 5.017 MJ/sq ft) per year  and a peak heat load of 10 W/m2.Total primary energy consumption (energy for heating, hot water and electricity) must not be more than 120 kWh/m2 (38,040 BTU/sq ft; 40.13 MJ/sq ft) per yearThe building must not leak more air than 0.6 times the house volume per hour (n50 ≤ 0.6 / hour) at 50 Pa (0.0073 psi) as tested by a blower door.Ironically, the research and pilot projects which fuelled what eventually became the Passivhaus standard was carried out in Saskatchewan as a National Research Council (NRC) project in the 1970s (the house is still in use today) and a similar project (Minnesota?)

I couldn't be more excited to join the BiggerPockets community and begin building a successful real estate investing career!

Jared, I host Black Diamond with free events in Waltham and Worcester, our next meeting is Oct 18 in Worcester, and the topic is Dealing with Contractors. 

I've only been to the Huntsville meetings so far. 

I'd even encourage meeting with more than one provider in a selected market if possible.  

Hi, I am a new member here in South Florida,  I am doing what I think my post people are doing by joining this site.

I want to meet new people, learn from them and then hustle to build my real estate portfolio!
