Good REIA in Northern VA?

[Travis Geary]

I'm starting out in REI and am looking for a good REIA in northern VA. I've read about how essential REIAs can be to an investor, but I've also read about how they are often nothing more than platforms for gurus.

Can anybody from the metro area provide suggestions for local REIAs that focus on investing in Virginia and are geared toward educating the members, not selling them?

Thanks for the help,

Travis

For anyone who is wondering if CAZA still exists, the answer is YES!  They re-branded as GRID:

https://www.meetup.com/grid-reston/

From their site on Meetup: 

Grid (formerly known as CAZA Investor Network) started in 2007 with less than 10 people and has since grown to over 10,000 members in 12+ locations in 3 states.

We believe the networking, education and inspiration you need to become a real estate investing pro is best found at the local level – which means that you need local knowledge, local contacts and local resources to help you grow.

Grid represents who we are (a power network) and what we do:

G: grow (your database)

R: return (on relationships)

I: invest (in people and assets)

D: develop (leadership and expertise)

Each Chapter is run by active and experienced real estate entrepreneurs who are doing deals in their area and who have joined Grid to share their stories, facilitate conversations, nurture relationships, and create more business opportunities for everyone in the room.

We welcome real estate entrepreneurs of all experience levels to join us in the endeavor to build and expand your reach, knowledge-base, business, and potential.

See you out there!
