Looking for a REIA in DFW. Recommendations?
Hello all!
I'm looking to start attending a Real Estate Investors Association for the DFW area (specifically Fort Worth) to begin networking. Do you guys have any suggestions? Preferably free and newbie-friendly. No idea where to start.
Thanks!

@Michael Menchaca my honest opinion would be to read as many books and watch as many podcasts as you can before attending too many events locally. Nothing against the local events - but a lot will have folks looking to feast off new investors such as yourself. Make sure you surround yourself with a good base of knowledge and understanding.
