REI

[Zachary Sargent]

Hi there- I just wanted to notify the community that I went to my first REI meeting last night. The group meets every first Tuesday. I live in central Illinois and it was a really good meeting. A lawyer spoke about LLC's. What I liked was to be able to talk to and see the various investors from my area. The was a guy there who controlled 80 units! I cannot imagine me doing something like that (although with time something like that could happen for me). I spoke with someone who I knew was an investor but did not know he would be at the meeting. He informed me that he would be happy to meet with me to discuss what my plan is to start. I'm excited for this. I want to begin but I need proper education to avoid serious mistake. I am willing to put the time in to learn how to do this properly.
