**T**he idea is simple: six women who are building something, sharing a meal together. No name tags, no agenda slides, no awkward "tell us your elevator pitch" moments. Just dinner. We'll start with a quick round of intros like who you are, what you're building, and maybe one thing that's been on your mind lately. Could be a win, could be a problem you're chewing on, could be "I have no idea what I'm doing but here I am." In my experience, when you put founders in a room together, you don't need to manufacture discussion. The good stuff just happens. **The practical bits** * $10 to 91454489 reserves your seat * Food and drinks on your own tab I started this group because I wanted a space like this for myself. Somewhere to meet other women who understand what it's like to build something from scratch. The late nights, the second-guessing, the small wins that no one else quite gets. If that sounds like something you need too, grab a seat. See you!

Friendly kick about over 2 hours. Cost is $15 to cover the cost of the Pitch. As soon as you book, please PayNow the money to 9271 4502 & text to confirm your name & payment. You will be added to the 5 aside football whatsapp group. Please bring a light shirt and a dark shirt.

This is a wonderful hiking area located in the heart of the Johor rainforest. These 2 lagoons of Seri Alam offer stunning scenery, dense jungles and birdlife galore. **Lots of spots to capture Instagram-worthy spots along the trail, including panoramic vistas of the quarries**. You won’t want to miss the chance to explore an abandoned granite quarry in Johor, which offers an eerily beautiful post-apocalyptic setting for photographs. Venture a bit further, and a gorgeous blue/green lake reveals itself within this mini canyon. Hiking to the Seri Alam Blue and Green Lake is worth considering for several compelling reasons: 1. **Unique Twin Lakes (Blue & Green)** * The Blue Lake has a surreal turquoise colour due to mineral deposits. * The Green Lake contrasts with a deep emerald tone. Both are former quarry sites transformed into scenic lakes — a rare natural phenomenon. 2. **Beginner-Friendly Hike** The hike is relatively manageable, making it accessible to beginners and families. However, proper hiking footwear is still recommended. ️ 3. **Beautiful Nature and Photo Ops** Surrounded by lush forest, the area offers great panoramic views. Ideal for photography, especially during early mornings or golden hour. Wildlife and flora are abundant — great for nature lovers. 4. **Off-the-Beaten-Path** Not overly commercialised or crowded like the more famous Malaysian trails. A quiet escape into nature just outside Johor Bahru. ⚠️ 5. **A Bit of Adventure** Some trails may involve minor climbs or navigating slightly overgrown paths. Adds a small sense of adventure without being dangerous (weather-dependent). **Cost, SGD** Min 8 pax to confirm.

#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster #### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** ** Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** #### A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom. Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank. They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic. This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable. **Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn** We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event. John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has: * Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions** * Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property** * **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy. For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached. **What You’ll Learn** John will break down, in simple terms: * Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on * Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer * How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time * How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster * What changes once rentals become free and clear This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course. John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios. **The Core Idea** When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.** When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.** Most people only see one timeline…30 years. This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear. **Who This Event Is For** This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper. * Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income * New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in * People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan * Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30) **Cost:** Free (Seats are limited - RSVP required) ** Get your FREE TICKET [HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turning-rentals-into-income-how-investors-pay-off-properties-faster-tickets-1980492192461?aff=cicmeetupapp)** If you’ve ever wondered how rental properties actually turn into freedom —this is the room to be in.
