Meet investors outside your normal circle

Most networking events leave the hard part up to you.

You walk in, grab a drink, talk to someone you already know, then spend the next hour wondering who else you should meet.

Three phone numbers is not networking.

The SoCal Investor Networking Expo brings flippers, landlords, wholesalers, brand-new investors, rental property operators, lenders, contractors, and agents who decided to buy instead of list into one room.

Investors from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and across Southern California come to Riverside for one night designed around actual conversations.

Dinner and cocktails are included. Capacity is limited.

Investor speed networking

We work the room for you

No wandering around hoping you meet the right person.

Here is how the speed networking works:

  • You join a hosted table with a group of about five people.
  • Each person gets a short round to introduce themselves, share what they are working on, and explain who they want to meet.
  • When the round ends, everyone rotates to another table.
  • You repeat the process with a new group of investors.

You meet more people without forcing awkward introductions or getting trapped in one conversation all night.

By the end, you will know who is buying, who is lending, who is building, who has experience you can learn from, and who you should talk to again.

Worth the drive

Why drive to Riverside for this?

Because your next useful connection may not live in your county.

Real estate gets small when you keep talking to the same people in the same room. This Expo is designed to get you out of your normal circle and into real conversations with investors from across Southern California.

The work happening around the FIRE Center already reaches far beyond Riverside.

Deals on the weekly Deal Room board have come from El Cajon, Valley Center, La Habra, Palm Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Murrieta, La Quinta, Hesperia, Indio, and cities throughout Southern California.

“I have met so many people that are so helpful and willing to teach you. If they don't know your question(s), they will refer you to someone that does.”
Betty Amaro

That is the kind of room worth making the trip for.

Come as you are

You do not need a deal or a big portfolio

Flippers. Landlords. Wholesalers. Brand-new investors. Operators with rental portfolios. Agents who decided to buy instead of list.

They all have a place in the room.

You do not need a polished pitch. You do not need to pretend you know more than you do. Show up ready to tell people what you are working on, ask good questions, and listen.

Coming alone is normal too.

First-time guests get a little green dot on their name tag. It lets the regulars know to walk over and introduce themselves instead of waiting for you to make the first move.

Upcoming Expo dates

About four times a year. One room full of new conversations.

The SoCal Investor Networking Expo runs from 6 to 8 PM on select Wednesday nights at the FIRE Center.

The Deal Room still runs from 4 to 5 PM on Expo night. We use the hour after it to reset the room.

Questions

Before you make the drive

Is this real estate investor networking event held in Los Angeles, Orange County, or San Diego?

No. The Expo is held at the FIRE Center in Riverside. It is built for investors from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the rest of Southern California who want to meet outside their normal local circle.

Why should I drive to Riverside for a networking event?

Because this is not an open room where you are left to figure everything out yourself. Hosted tables, small groups, short rounds, and planned rotations help you meet more investors in one night. Dinner and cocktails are part of the Expo too.

Do I have to be a member?

No membership is required for your first visit. Your first event is free.

Can I come alone?

Yes. Plenty of people do. First-time guests receive a green dot on their name tag so regulars know to introduce themselves and help them get into conversations.

Is this a Southern California real estate investor meetup for beginners or experienced investors?

Both. The room includes brand-new investors, active flippers, landlords, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, rental property operators, and agents who invest. You do not need an active deal to attend. Come ready to meet people and talk honestly about what you are working on.
