Real estate clubs

[Drew Cameron]

I'm a newbie to real estate investing in the Phoenix area and was thinking about joining a club to find a mentor and network. Is it worth paying a membership fee and going to monthly meetings or would it be more advantageous to network and get a team then rely in bigger pockets?

It's been a few years since I lived in Arizona...so take this with a grain of salt...we really got a lot of mileage out of attending AZREIA meetings.  We could attend classes, meet others, find people who were working the same sorts of deals, find other team members such as Realtors, lawyers, title agents, wholesalers, rehabbers, etc.  

Not "either...or" though.  It is Both, And.  Use BP to answer questions, for deal analysis and reports, for accountability.
