Guru running the local REI Club

[William Good]

Hi All, 

We have a unique situation in my community in that we have a known Guru who is running the local REI club. I have some reservations about even going to these meetings just based on what I have seen in other articles on the web about this guru, but there may be networking opportunities that I may not get in other places. I have also consider establishing a separate Investors Group...'cause I think the smart people may have done their homework and may not be attending the REI club anymore. Since I am new to RE investing, and still looking for good mentors, I am curious to hear anyone's thoughts on this and how many of the active investors are actually involved in local REI clubs. There are probably a ton of other great ways to gain mentors and build a team of people that I can rely on for good guidance.

Thanks for your inputs,
