Question about joining REIA

[Samuel Yi]

Hello, Everyone.

I am a new investor based in Orange County, CA, and I have been just soaking up all the information on BP and BP podcast. Through these two resources, I learned that I need to get connected through local REIA which makes sense.

So, I found a local REIA through http://nationalreia.org/ and it will cost me about 400~500 dollars to join them.

I just wanted to verify that this is the REIA that many people on the forum recommend newbies to join or are there different ones out there?

I also want to clarify that I am not complaining about paying for things. If it is worth the money I will gladly pay. I just want to make sure I am spending my money appropriately.

Thank you so much, investors!
