I noticed a dearth of LA ETA meetups, especially in the South Bay where I am. So I figured why not start one? This will be a recurring, small-table meetup in the South Bay and I hope to have a variety of different events based on what folks are interested in. After all, the best conversations happen when you're having fun! Who it's for: active and funded searchers, self-funded searchers, owners who've already acquired, SBA and conventional lenders, commercial real estate folks, search investors, and the brokers/advisors who work these deals. What it is: 10-16 people, one long table, real talk: topics like deal flow, diligence, financing, what broke post-close, and what you'd do differently. Rotating format: open roundtable most months, with an occasional 20-minute deep-dive from a member on a live or closed deal. What it isn't: no pitching, no vendor selling, no job-seeking, no beginners' 101. Chatham House rule — what's said at the table stays at the table. Come to grow a real network in ETA, leave with people you could run a deal by — and hopefully, people you can call friends too!
