REIN value for BC investors?

Hello all! I'm exploring REI from Vancouver, Canada. It's great to have this BC-dedicated forum here on BiggerPockets.

I have a bit of cash and seeking connections to venture into a JV or similar partnership opportunities.

I just attended a free REIN webinar which had valuable info. Would be grateful for opinions on whether REIN membership cost is worth it? It's ~3,000/yr, which seems rather expensive to me but what ROI to put on such knowledge and networking? I really need the expertise and networking but perhaps there are other cheaper alternatives available in BC/Vancouver?

Thank you kindly,

Elisheba

Hi @Elisheba Kihara, joining REIN or Keyspire is sort of like joining a gym. They give you the tools, but don't do any of the work for you. 

Some people pay large sums of money for access to REIN and the training programs and expect investments to land in their lap. Nothing ever happens and they think the membership is a waste of money.

Other people use all the tools, network, make important connections and put dozens of deals together. It ends up be the best investment of their lives. 

A gym membership is a waste if you don't go, reading books is a waste if you don't put the lessons into action and real estate memberships are a waste if you don't take advantage of the networks and systems they offer.

If you're serious about investing in real estate, commit. Read every book, listen to every podcast, analyze every property and take every step you need to to make it happen. If that involves joining REIN, do it.

Happy investing!
