Join REIA instead of gurus?

[Account Closed]

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but are any of the gurus actually worth it? I get the impression that the $100 course is always a sales pitch for the $1,000 course, which is a pitch for the $10,000 course and so on...

A couple friends of mine are interested in signing up with a guy named Jeff Kaller but I haven't seen any positive reputable reviews (i.e. someone with more than 1 post).

Are we better off by ourselves trying to network with people at the local REIA? Also, we're in the Philadelphia area so if anyone knows anything about the Philadelphia REIA or a better alternative it'd be greatly appreciated :mrgreen:

Our RE knowledge is pretty limited so far, just a couple of college kids trying to get into the business. I worked at my dad's law firm briefly (they do strictly foreclosure work for the whole mid-atlantic region) but never learned much about the process... I was just putting together title policies (not actually clearing title or anything useful :cry: ).
