Things to Look for in an Investment Club

[Stephen Watt]

There's no shortage of experienced investors telling newbies to join your local REI club, for many good reasons. I'm one of those newbies, and I find myself with multiple REI associations close by (4 in the San Diego area, to be exact).

With most REI clubs charging monthly dues, how do you determine which club is worth getting involved in? One option is to just pick a club and dive right in. But are there things to look for (or look out for) before getting involved with your local club?

I'd love to hear about your experiences with various REI associations. What makes an investment group exceptional?
