Real Estate Investment Clubs, Are They Worth It?

Real Estate Investment Club! Network, Meet-up, get social, get deals done!

This is for all of you Powerhouse Real Estate Networkers out there. Are you currently part of a REIA or Investment Club if so awesome. If not listen up because this is going to be extremely valuable for you.

If you're from San Antonio or Austin and you are looking for low-priced and even free education then your local REI is a great place to start. But wait, if your from San Antonio there's no local REIA. That’s right the former San Antonio REIA is completely dead, so would be investors or even experienced guys have no place to turn for continued education, support, networking and leads.

Could there be an emerging Real Estate Investment Club coming?

I was approached by a Club out of North Texas that is growing and expanding and wants me and my team to bring a New Club to San Antonio and Austin.

Now I can tell you what is needed to make this succeed and I can also tell you why the last San Antonio REIA tanked.

But first this is what's needed:

Strong Leadership from a group or Board that is experienced.

Local educators that care about the success of the group and it’s members.

Connection to other clubs that are having success.

Regular meet up sessions that are entertaining and educational.

Support from local experienced and new investors.

Why the Last San Antonio Real Investors Association crumbled.

I said leadership not dictatorship!

Power struggles from local leaders; foolish!

lack of innovative and new ideas.

It became a support group for struggling investors instead of a fun learning environment.

What do you get out of being a part of a new Real Estate Investment Club?

Connectivity

Real Estate and Financial Education- Low cost and even free.

Networking with other very experienced Real Estate Investors.

Leads for Deals

Beginners Training- Learn how to do no money down deals!

Experienced Investors- train “Bird Dogs” and deal finders from scratch.

Hear from top trainers from around the Nation.

My Experience in Buying and selling over 350 properties.

Learn Residential and Commercial Strategies.

Position yourself to buy Real Estate in the most opportune time in History.

There's Never Been a Better Time to Get Involved in Real Estate Investing

That’s right this country has never seen a better time to be involved in the most sound form of Investment, Real Estate.

I have been training Real Estate Investors for the past 4 years and I have ramped that up in the past 18 months. I always tell my students to get involved in the local club or REIA. The networking alone is priceless so I feel very compelled to Host a local meet-up group in the city I was born and raised in.

I am 90% sure at this point that I will start the club and would love the feedback of other Real Estate Pro’s in San Antonio and Austin.

Why Austin Texas?

Yes Austin, because this is the city I now call home and when I start the club in San Antonio I will also start the club in Austin.

The benefit to you is that you will be able to Network with Investors from San Antonio and Austin and do deals in both cities and everything in between.

I would love some feedback from some locals and would love to hear that you will support this group and get involved.

I will follow up with future blogs and more information on the name of the club, the start-up dates the first meeting dates etc.

The club will also need a strong board of directors, so if you have experience in Real Estate, Internet Marketing, event planning, or anything else related and you want to get involved please leave a comment below.

I have a funny story about how I was once kicked out of my local REIA (is that really possible, yes but you would have to hear the story to believe it), if you really want to hear about how I got kicked out of my local REIA let me know in the comments below and I will either shoot a video and tell the story or I will write a blog specifically about it. Not trying to be a tease just don’t want to take up anymore of your time right now.
