First Investment Club meeting
Hello,
I will be going to my first investor meeting this week and I want to create a list of goals I want to accomplish that night. Below you will find what I have so far:
- Find a real estate agent that I can call to confirm some comps
- Get the business cards of some wholesalers for leads
- Cards of Private lenders
That's all I have for now. Is there anything else you guys think I should try to find out? What did you wish you got out of your first investor club meeting?

I teach my bird dogs here in Philadelphia to NEVER NEGOTIATE with the seller. Once my bird dogs gain some experience, I move on to teaching them negotiating and contracting DEALS.
My career went from bird dog to wholesaling to hustling the whole house. Now every month we flip several contracts as wholesale DEALS and fix & flips.
I met my first money lender at my first REIA meeting, and today he and I fix & flip houses together full time.
In thisgame One thing leads to the next-As long as you can produce off market, REAL DEALS.
That is the secret to my success, consistently finding, negotiating, and contracting DEALS no one else knows about.
Good luck getting started!!
