It’s a good group of people and will give you the opportunity to meet and ask questIons of investors using different strategies.

Look for our next meet up event. 

I'm just starting out and looking to meet other investors and agents in the area.

At this point I want to have initial meeting and see where the insurance companines are with their offers to settle (I also had about 70% of policies with one carrier) but every parcel is a seperate claim, deductible, adjuster, process, etc.

If they do not meet your criteria, as you would with any other applicant, say no. 

I ended up preachy when I just wanted to tell him to get out there and meet some people instead of worrying all day about how to BRRRR C/D-class houses into generational wealth.

Pleased to meet everyone.

Thank you to all the amazing members of this community for everything you guys have contributed so far, I eagerly await meeting more of you!

Hi Patrick, A few things to think about:You'll need to find a property management company who will manage any deal that you buyYou'll need to meet the net worth and liquidity requirements to qualify for a loan You'll likely need someone with experience to also sign on the loanTypical structure between the LP and GP is a preferred return  and a 50/50 to 70/30 profit splitYou can have up to 35 non-accredited, sophisticated investors with a 506(b) offering, as long as you have a pre-existing relationshipAlso, do you have previous real estate experience?
