Hello Folks, got some exciting news today! We have scheduled another FIRE meetup, but one that is specifically focussing on real estate investing. In short, get ready for Utrecht Real Estate Con!
Utrecht Real Estate Con
We noticed that a lot of people are interested in real estate investing as (part of) their FIRE strategy. Likely because it is an investment that you can see, feel and easily comprehend. However, there are many things about real estate that one should consider.

There are also many different investment strategies related to real estate, which depend on your risk profile and preferences. It’s therefore time to review this investment method in more detail during a meetup.
Together with Divnomics and GeenBaanMeer.nl we came up with the idea of Utrecht Real Estate Con (Dutch: Vastgoed Con).
The Date
The “Utrecht Real Estate Con” is scheduled for Saturday 17 November 2018 (in Utrecht, go figure!). Location details will be made available for those that sign up for this event.
The Program
The preliminary program for the day:
- 12:00-13:00 – Welcome
- 13:00-14:00 – Introduction to Real Estate investing
- 14:00-14:30 – Coffee Break
- 14:30-15:30 – Real Estate investing Examples
- 15:30-16:00 – Coffee Break
- 16:00-17:00 – Real Estate Investing Strategies for FIRE
- 17:00-18:00 – Q&A and Drinks
The final program details will be made available closer to the date. We plan to tailor the program upon your input. For example, we can focus more on the strategies and examples and skip on some of the introduction. Please let us know what you think. Either way, it should be very interesting and a good learning opportunity. Especially for anyone that wants to invest into real estate in the Netherlands.
The Costs
The fees for the day are about €29.61 (€28 + Eventbrite booking fees), which is including drinks and snacks. We have a total of 45 seats available. Don’t wait too long before signing up as our meetups are getting increasingly more popular.

Great that you guys do this! We are very happy to join! Thanks and see you im November! 🙂
Awesome! See you in November indeed.
Although investing in real estate sounds very interesting to me, there’s always one big question raising to me: how do you fund the purchase? When I’m looking for opportunities, it seems it’s very difficult to get a second mortgage. Is this something you will discuss in your presentation?
Hey Genoegzaam,
Absolutely! It’s one of the critial parts of getting into real estate. There is enough experience between the various presentors to give you a good idea what to think about, with some practical tips and tricks too.
Hope to see you in November!
Thanks for the initiative! Ticket is booked.
I saw! Great that you are joining in on this meetup 🙂 Are you also coming to Zwolle?
