Is there a REI networking group in Dallas?

Question

Are there any REI networking groups in Dallas? I'm looking to expand my network and haven't seen any events listen on BP and my realtor friends didn't know of any when I asked. If y'all don't know of one either, let's make one!

Please note I am not affiliated in any way with any of the groups other than that I have attended some of their meetings/presentations. Many groups during Covid have switched to online only or a combination of online/in person events. Many now getting back to live events. These groups are often in flux about where they meet, when they meet, how often they meet, so this is meant to be a general resource. NTAREI- https://ntarei.com/ Normally meets about 2x a month in North Dallas at the Holiday Inn at Preston and LBJ NE corner. Some vendors present. Probably 20-120 in attendance depending on the topic. Meeting is normally on Thursday nights, occasionally on Tuesdays, and some full day Saturday seminars. Could be in person or online. Organizer is Roger. Texas Tuesday DFW Real Estate Mastermind- https://ttdfwrem.com/ Venue seems to have changed from Lewisville to Ft. Worth. Starts at 7pm. Great energy with this group. Tends to attract a younger /trendy crowd. Location could change. Some meetings announced for Ft. Worth area in 2022. 1REClub- http://jimmyvreed.com/network/... Fort Worth based with the organizer Jimmy Reed. Traditionally has met at Best Western Suites, 2000 Beach St., Fort Worth, Texas 76103 on Thursday nights. DFW REI Club – dfwreiclub.com – Meets about 2x-4x month, normally on Saturday morning from about 9am-12noon at Manhattan Plaza 6850 Manhattan Blvd, Suite 205 Fort Worth, TX 76120. Seems like about 20-50 people present when I have attended. Organizer is Robin Carriger...super nice and knowledgeable guy. IMPACT LIVE- www.impactreievents.com Meets about once a month in various places around Grapevine, Denton. Typically on the 4th Monday of the month in the evening about 7pm. Organizer is Sherry Patterson. I’ve been and there was a great group of people there...about 40 or so and a handful of vendors. May have other locations as well. IMPACT Live Arlington- https://www.meetup.com/impactarlington/ Dennis Henson’s original group in a new form. Novice Investors Club was Texas Investors Club- https://www.meetup.com/novicer... - Meets several times a month in Carrollton or Grapevine. Organizer is Michelle Landry. Dallas and Ft. Worth REIG- https://www.dallasreig.com Organizer is Joe Boston. This has been a popular group for a very long time. Mostly meets on Saturday mornings. Lifestyles Unlimited - https://lifestylesunlimited.co... - a membership only group but certainly adds lots of value for their members. There can be big costs to join this group, but if you follow the system and need a lot of mentorship, it might be worth the investment. Nice way to move up into syndications once you have a nice capital reserve. Dallas REIA Live - https://dallas-reia.com/ -Meets about once a month in Dallas and Grapevine. Organizer is Shenoah Grove. Quest - https://www.questtrustcompany.... Meets about 1-2x per month. Often on Wednesdays at 12noon. Specializing in how to use your investment accounts to invest. So get your 401k and HSA and other self directed accounts ready. Plenty of online meetings as well. MLSIQ- https://realestateiq.co/ meets mostly online right now 1-2x week. Variety of topics with different experts. West DFW REI Group- https://www.westdfwreigroup.com/ Check their online calendar for meeting times. Some Tues/Thurs/Saturdays. REI Connections DFW- https://www.facebook.com/groups/172353131007199 Meets 1st Saturday of the month 8am. The Dallas Event- https://www.instagram.com/theeventpresents/ Several times a year...normally 5pm-till close. Virgin Hotel. Great speakers..plenty of networking. Total Wealth Academy- https://totalwealthacademy.com/ Houston based group. Former Lifestyles trainer Steve Davis has started this and has some Dallas trainings and meetings periodically. Full day class was probably one of the best I’ve seen and great value. Roddy Round Up- https://roddy.com/roddy-event/ Back in action after a few years of hiatus. Currently meeting in Flower Mound about 1x/month. Organizer is Curtis Roddy.Many of these clubs and meetings are in flux after Covid...may or may not meet in person, venues changing etc. If you have any updates please let me know.

I'm also new in the real estate investment in the North Dallas area. I would love to connect with other investors. I read through books written by Brandon Turner and Joshua Dorkin. These books help me develop a basic understanding of real estate investment. I am currently identifying people to build my teams, especially, deal finders like real estate agents with an investment mindset. Does anyone have good references for real estate agents in this area?
