Looking for a Good Local Real Estate Investing Club? Try the BAWB.

by Andy on January 16, 2008

SF Houses in the Mission

Since a majority of our business revolves around putting together real estate investment deals, an ideal client for us is a real estate investor who leverages technology and is ready, willing and able to act when a deal is presented to them.

In our never ending quest to find these elusive clients, we attend a lot of Bay Area meetups & investment clubs and one of my favorites is the Bay Area Wealth Builders club, which meets monthly in Mill Valley. The BAWB meetings are a great place to get out and broaden our horizons, while meeting other investors and real estate professionals.

For investment minded people like us, working day to day in a real estate office, surrounded by the traditional ‘REALTOR’ mindset can be a bit constraining. We need to stay pro-active so as not to lose touch with the pure investor end of the spectrum & the BAWB meetings are full of the investor end of the spectrum.

Norman and I are heading out to the next BAWB meeting on Thursday night in Mill Valley & the topics are going to be:

The Campbell Method: A Proven Timing System that Tells You EXACTLY When to Buy and Sell Real Estate to Make Maximum Profits! (RealEstateTiming)
&
The Mortgage Meltdown Freeze = Fraud (SF Gate article w/background info)

Should be interesting.

If you’re an investor, or thinking about getting started in real estate investing, I’d definitely recommend coming out. If you’re reading this and planning on attending, we’d love to meet you in person. My contact info is in the top right corner if you need it.

Looking to Build Your Business? Come and Mastermind With Us

by Andy on January 10, 2008

Mastermind

Over the next year, we’re going to be focusing our efforts on building our audience and turning casual readers into a thriving community. One of the ways that we’re going to be doing this is reaching out to local entrepreneurs and small business owners so that we can leverage our talents to help each other grow.

If you’re going to be in the East Bay on January 19 and want to spend a Saturday with us brainstorming ways to improve your business, we invite you to join us for a mastermind event at our office in North Berkeley.

We’re going to be teaming up with the East bay Entrepreneur and Small Business MeetUp group, led by Patrick Schwerdtfeger, for the event and after a brief introduction, we’re going to break off into small groups and spend an hour on each participant’s business brainstorming a list of ways to build each other’s businesses.

So if you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur in the area and want to make the commitment to spending a Saturday building your business, we’d love to have you join us.
