Investors

[Brian Wheeler]

Hello, my name is Brian Wheeler. I am a new real estate investor in the eau Claire/Menomonie area in Wisconsin. I have had no luck in finding real estate investor groups. Does anyone know of any?

Haha! @Scott Schultz pretty much laid it out there. None of these stingy scrooge McDucks are going to actually be giving away free info at any meeting! :D

I am in the Appleton area, but I haven't gone out of my way to go to any REI "meetings" because of exactly what Scott said. If there was a simple way to make money, everyone would do it.

@Brian Wheeler what @Kyle Scofield said is key - "invest" in your own education. I'll forewarn you that these posts you just got are some of the most valuable you will find, even on this site, which has some nuggets but still ignore 95% of the posts because trolls are everywhere! It cracks me up how much gibberish I see here.

With that information in mind, you stated you are a "new real estate investor" which implies you may have money to spend. If that's true, first I'd be careful sharing that information - I don't want your money, but someone else out there might and you just said "here, take it!"

Second: if you are going to pay a "coach", keep in mind the old adage "those who do... DO. Those who cannot... profess to teach." Before you pay a penny for "coaching" make sure you are being "taught" by someone who is "walking the walk".

I'm pretty close to you, so if you find a deal and you want to bounce some ideas around, I'll do my best to help you out if I can. Good luck :)
