Gulf Coast REIA vs Professional Investors Guild - Destin

[Account Closed]

Hey guys, 

Looking for advice on two different REI Groups.

Gulf Coast REI Associate (Meets in Pensacola which is about an hour commute from me)

http://www.gcreia.com/

Professional Investors Guild (PIG) - Destin

http://www.meetup.com/DestinPIG/

(Meets in Destin which is about 10 minute commute for me)

These are two that hit my local searches on facebook and google.

It looks like they both warranted positive reviews.

Do you have any experience with them?  Are they legit?  I'd say I'm pretty cautious on this kind of stuff due to a bad history with Multi Level Marketing scams.

If it had the "Bigger Pocket's" endorsement I'd be a lot more comfortable.

Thanks in advance, appreciate anything thrown this way... good/bad/ugly!
