Hello - New Member from NJ

[N/A N/A]

Hi - I am new member that has been lurking on the boards for a few weeks. The information on here has been super helpful so far and I can't wait to learn some things through my own personal experience that I can share with others just starting out.

I have read several investing/rehabbing books so far and have been listening to quite a few podcasts on real estate investing. I believe that taking on a small rehab located in my area would work best for me given my experience, time and more importantly - cash.

A question I am dealing with currently is this: I want to join a local real estate investment club but can't decide between joining the statewide organization and the smaller regionally focused one. Both meet monthly close to my home and cost about the same for an annual membership.

Any suggestions for a newbee - does the larger offer more benefits due to its membership size, or should I go with the smaller group so that I may be able to find a mentor and not get lost in the crowd?

Any and all thoughts appreciated -

Best,

Rich
