Attending neighborhood meetings?

I think ANY ACTION SUCH AS THIS CAN ONLY CREATE a positive result. You can network here and build your brand ..... YOU

Yes, I would encourge you to attend them, meet the people and network, let folks know who you are and how you can help. A great idea for sure I'm going to start looking for these to attend myself... Action is the key to success...John H.

Just not really sure if it is good or not. Course it's good for me, but maybe they have a reason not to want outsiders attending their meetings. I saw a sign in a neighborhood that I am trying to get houses in.

Tammy,
“The only thing you have to fear is fear itself”. If someone objects, let them. It shouldn't impact you attending a meeting. They are open to the public, and unless you are asked to leave the meeting, it is a fantastic and economical way to market yourself and your business. In addition, you will get the opportunity to get a feel for not only the neighborhood, but the neighbors. Knowledge is power. Attend your meeting, and market yourself. Opportunity is not a frequent visitor.
Go get em!

If you remember what we've been taught about real estate, it's a people business. The more people you know, the more people there are who may be able to help you. Attending meetings and town functions whereby you can let people know that you are looking to invest in their neighborhoods and towns can only be a good thing unless the town or neighborhood has no plans on improving it's current position (which I'd find hard to believe )
The only objection I can see is if someone had been the victim of an unscrupulous investor before and has tarnished the WORD investor. However, that only means that you'd need to do more or extra work with the town's folks and invest in them before they trust you and invest in you. Remember the golden rule "You get what you give."
I think the pros for doing it far out way the cons of doing it by a landslide.

Just my 2 cents.
