REIGs vs going solo
Hey everyone,
I've been diving deep into the world of real estate lately, even got myself licensed! But here's the thing: while I've been taking my time, some friends of mine went all in and joined this Real Estate Investment Group (REIG). It cost them $5,000 upfront plus another $5,000 for each of their first three flips, totaling $20,000. And guess what? They've been knocking it out of the park with profitable flips left and right!
Now, I'm sitting here wondering if I should follow suit. But here's where I'm scratching my head: this REIG doesn't seem to have a proper name or a website I can check out. Seems a bit sketchy, right?
On one hand, I'm super impressed by how much my friends have learned and earned since joining. But on the other hand, I can't shake off this feeling that maybe it's too good to be true. So, here I am, seeking your sage advice: should I jump on board with my buddies and join this mysterious REIG, or should I stick to my own path and keep building my skills solo?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this one. Thanks a bunch in advance!
Cheers,
