Accountability group/mastermind/investing club

[Trevor Lohman]

Hey everybody,

I'm super interested in starting up an accountability group or mastermind. I'm looking around at my friends, and although many of them are talented and successful, none of them really have the drive to get into real estate. They're all in the medical field like me and don't really seem interested. 

It's tough to stay focused on one thing when everyone you trust and respect is doing something different. 

So.. I'm hoping there might be some interest in forming a group of like minded semi-newbies. We could either get together in person or more likely on the phone occasionally and brainstorm, review deals, keep each other focused, and maybe partner up on some things. 

Basically an investing club. I see a lot of people on here in a similar situation to me. I think this site helps them stay motivated and focused. A small group format would take it to the next level. It could be a sounding board for vetting deals, and also allow us to do more deals more quickly. 

I'm thinking the broader range of people the better, but ideally it would be people actively looking to do deals and in the position to do so, or at least contribute to one. 

If anyone is interested at all chime in!

Wanted to give an update on this thread, 

Slack has been awesome! Thank you for that recommendation @Tony Xu. The ability to create separate channels has been very nice for allowing people with similar interests to group up. 

One thing that I've begun to notice is we have a lot of California people looking for boots on the ground OOS (myself included). We seem to have lots of people looking to invest, but not so many boots on the ground. @Gwen Fyfe has been incredibly helpful as a cleveland local. Ohio in general has been a market being discussed a lot. If you're in columbus or cleveland, or really any market that you think OOS investors would like to learn more about please join our group! I know we have people looking to connect with knowledgeable folks in IN, TN, etc.

I just want to encourage any upstart investors out there in midwest/southeast markets to join. I wish I lived in a market like that because I think you have huge asset just based on your location. There is a great opportunity for you if you live in a promising rental market to form some partnerships and gain access to capital. There are a lot of OOS people who aren't sure about the turnkey model, and would love the opportunity to meet you and form a investment partnership of some kind. 

If anyone would like a link just PM me.
