Portland REI Clubs
I've asked around people I trust and have done a lot of reading. During that time I've come to the conclusion that I should definitely start attending some local real estate investment clubs. The benefits certainly seem to far out weigh the possible negatives. However, on the other hand I don't have a whole lot of extra time on my hands to be running around trying out different clubs to find a serious one. I'd hate to go and spend two hours being pandered to by a salesman/woman. Does anyone know of any solid clubs here in the Portland metro area? Anyone been to NWREIA meetings? Any other groups?
Thanks for any help,
Mathew

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Corey! I never got any real concrete answers from the question but have had good luck just meeting and networking with fellow BP members. There are a lot of us here in Portland so I think you'd have good luck reaching out to a few when you next come up this way. Who doesn't want to grab a beer and talk about real estate and rentals?
