Hello All!  Initially this group was started as a Bulk REO Investment Group, but as most of you know, the Bulk REO Market has significantly declined and we are forced to find new investment opportunities.  As a Realtor, I browse the MLS Listings daily looking for good investment properties to refurb, restore, rebuild or even just to re-sell!

Our group is temporarily closed to new members. After years of watching, loving, and longing for the friendships seen in Sex and the City I have decided to seek it out. A week by week coffee/ brunch powow discussing relationships, fashion, and every other pithy life detail seems to be just the ticket. Our group has been together for more than two years, and more than 100 Meetups! Members: This Meetup is for women, only.  I occasionally receive requests from men, and feel bad when declining t …

As a grad student, I don't have money to dish out for tons of concerts, so I thought that we could meet at various affordable activities such as hikes, Farmers Markets, downtown excursions and happy hours (these are some of my favorites, but feel free to suggest more). There we can get to know potential concert buddies, discuss new/favorite music and plan events. I'd love to arrange …
