January Meetup - Los Angeles Investors in Real Estate and Businesses (FIBI)

Investors in Real Estate or Businesses, Thank you to the investors who attended our Special December Holiday Meetup. I hope that our 25-35 attendees had a great time networking. We will be back to our usual format in January and, as promised, I plan on making my best effort to reduce the number of articles that we review in the months ahead. For those who haven't had a chance to attend a meeting yet, we look forward to seeing you soon, as we would greatly value your attendance and input. Also, please feel free to bring any topics, questions, thoughts or opportunities you have or are considering that you would like to discuss with the group, as we will continue with our informal roundtable format. FIBI NETWORK FIBI is in the process of a nationwide expansion. Our newest Meetup, the FIBI Los Angeles Commercial Real Estate Meetup, is launching in January! Please feel free to visit our other Meetups throughout Southern California (several are coming soon), Chicago, Austin, Denver, and Miami: **NEW*** FIBI Los Angeles Commerical Real Estate Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/FIBI-Commercial-Real-Estate-Los-Angeles/ FIBI Chicago Meetup: http://investing.meetup.com/581/ FIBI San Fernando Valley Meetup: Coming Soon FIBI South Bay Meetup: Coming Soon FIBI Austin, Denver, Miami: All Coming Soon Please feel free to e-mail me (jroll@rollinvestments) if you or someone you know might be interested in organizing an FIBI meeting, whether it's in Los Angeles or other major cities across the United States.

JOINING THE INVESTOR GROUP (SEPARATE FROM THIS MEETUP) Before I inform you about our next meetup date and location, I wanted to take a quick minute to invite you to join our investor distribution list. Our investor e-mail distribution list is comprised of over 340 investors and continues to grow, allowing us to attract many interesting passive opportunities. If you are not currently on our investor list and you would like to be added then please e-mail me your name, e-mail address, and phone number. We do not send any newsletters, spam, etc. and we do not sell anything via the list. We simply send passive/managed/syndicated investment opportunities (typically with minimum investments of $10-25k) in Real Estate and Businesses as they become available. Most of the opportunities come from my Wharton network, friends, or referrals, and I filter them to the best of my abilities. ** PLEASE NOTE ** Subscribing to this Meetup does NOT automatically add you to the investor list. Please feel free to e-mail or call if you would like more information about the investor distribution list. LOCATION Thursday, January 8, 2008 - 7:00-9:00 PM 10537 Santa Monica Blvd. 3rd Floor Los Angeles, CA 90025 (310) 922-4573 My office is located on the North side of Santa Monica Blvd. just 1.5 blocks West of Beverly Glen. Please take the elevator up to the 3rd Floor lobby. Once you exit the elevator you will see the conference room straight ahead to the left side, which is where we will be meeting. **PARKING WARNING** PLEASE DO NOT park in the building's parking lot, as all of the spots are reserved and you will risk being towed. There should be plenty of street parking in front of the building, as well as on the side streets. IF YOU ARRIVE TO THE MEETUP AND THE FRONT DOORS OF THE BUILDING ARE LOCKED then please call my cell phone (310-922-4573) and I will come down to let you in. **METERED PARKING WARNING** PLEASE NOTE that the parking spots on Santa Monica Blvd now include metered spots via pay stations UNTIL 8:00 PM that are NOT easy to see. Most members have not noticed the pay stations, as they are fairly new and there is no signage. IF YOU PARK ON SANTA MONICA BLVD THEN PLEASE BE SURE TO PAY FOR YOUR METERED PARKING UNTIL 8:00 PM. AGENDA 7:00-9:00 PM - GENERAL DISCUSSION - We will continue our informal round table discussion format, with a focus on networking and high-level discussions regarding real estate, the economy, stocks, and other investment opportunities that people are currently involved in or considering. I will also continue to bring copies of 20-30 interesting articles that are relevant to these topics. Please feel free to bring any investment opportunities that you are considering or that you are managing, as our group is always interested in providing their thoughts regarding an opportunity or hearing about interesting opportunities. 9:00 PM-10:00 PM - NETWORKING (OPTIONAL) - All attendees are welcome to network following our general discussion. Please feel free to e-mail or call anytime if you have any questions. I hope to see you at our next Meetup in January.
