My computer crashed two nights ago and I am still down today. I have most of my stuff backed up and I am hoping my Webmaster Lee can get the rest of my stuff back but I don’t know what is going to happen at this point. I can not find the backed up copy of the intro to the show so we may have to live without it for a few days. It’s all good though! I am going to keep the content coming!
I talk to a lot of real estate investors all over the country. When I do I always ask them if they belong to a Real Estate Investors Association AKA a REIA club or some other type of Real Estate Investors networking group. Shockingly 74% said that they did not consistently go to any type of meeting where Real Estate Investors hang out!
WHAT? 74%? That is crazy! When you are actively investing (or want to) in real estate you need to network all the time. When I asked them what their excuse most of them said that they do not have any real estate investors clubs or networks in our area. Or the real estate investors club in our area sucks. BS I don’t think you are trying hard enough. So we are going to address how you can find a club in your area or create your own for under $20.
When you hang out with other real estate investors there are tons of opportunities just waiting to present themselves. You can find a ton of buyers, private lenders, equity partners, or great friends who have the same interest just by attending these meetings. Most of the meetings are free or very cheap to attend. You should pick a few really great groups where other real estate investors hang out and commit to going to them consistently every month. Commitment and consistency is the only way that you are going to build relationships and trust so you can get the true value out of the group.
If you just show up to a meeting once in a blue moon and nobody knows who you are, what you do, and you do not want to add any value to the group do us all a favor and just stay home!
Question of the day!
