REIN value for BC investors?

[Elisheba Kihara]

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
