How About Real Estate Investing Clubs?
If your looking for an easy way to network into the real estate investing business try joining your local Real Estate Investment Club or Association. You will meet people there who are investors bankers tradesmen realtors appraisers many of whom have aquired vast amounts of knowledge and many who have become quite weatlhy. Interacting and networking with these experienced associates will go a long way toward helping you reach your goals and finding moneymaking opportunities. Many new partnerships have grown out of these local clubs. Some members are looking for funding for deals while other are more occupied with other interests or full time jobs and are looking for someone to find deals for them that they can either do alone or partner with someone. Some members are simply looking for a buyer for one of their properties and hope can get it sold to another member without paying a commission. You will definitely get an education by going this route. It won’t be “book learning” but probably more practical and hands on.
For those of you who are not familiar with this type of organization here’s a bit of insight. These are membership organizations and they sponsor many educational events host guest speakers and provide occasional seminars on real estate related topics. Some are free and some require a small fee. Normally they hold monthly meetings at which time many of these events take place. Members usually wear name tags during these meetings and there is time set aside for private conversations and networking.
Occasionally some of these clubs even manage to recruit a big name speaker to address their group. Meetings usually have a time where members can get up and speak of a particular project they are working on announce a property for sale look for certain type of property even seek out a joint venture partner. As I said many worthwhile and long lasting partnerships have emerged from these humble beginnings.
You might find that there is no such club in your home town. If this is the case you most certainly will find one in a nearby larger city. If you think your town could benefit from this type of an organization you might even consider starting one yourself. Perhaps some of the information contained herein can give you a start in the right direction. You could also look on the net at a site like google and enter “Real Estate Investment Clubs” and follow through from there. I’m sure any clubs you locate will be glad to provide information you can use in getting your own club started. Good luck in all your real estate endeavors.
