I am planning to join in the next couple of months.  I would like to attend a few before I join.  I did see the cost on the site, and it is definitely a minimal price for the contacts, experience, and info that will be received there.  I will be at the meeting tonight.  Do I just pay when I show up or would I need to go to the tampareia.com site to pay before the meeting.  I am so excited.

@Kevin Cook  I was hoping some one local would chime in too.  I was wondering if you have to be a member to be able to attend the meetings?  I have that event in my calendar.  But wanted to clarify before I just showed up.  Thank you for your help.

Hello Everyone,

I have been watching the forums for a little while now. Trying to gather as much information as I can. I have dreamed of working in REI for over 10 years now. I discovered wholesaling a few years ago and I have tried to grasp the concept in all of my free time. I think it is really my only opportunity to be able to build the cash to be able to flip properties, which is my true passion. I have a lot of talents and knowledge with rehab and building homes. I have also spent some time with a local real estate investing company which I first drove around taking pictures of properties that were coming up for auction and list the condition. I then started completing repair bids for them. So I have the knowledge to make an educated ARV report and Estimated repair values. I also know the current real estate market here in Pinellas County. I have spent the last 5 years watching all the deals coming and going. I would love to meet with other like minded people who have done wholesale deals in Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Belleair, Palm Harbor, Tampa or any other town in our area. I have a true passion for Real Estate. It isn't only about the money for me. It is my true passion to fix up nasty houses. I just love the whole process. Growing up with in the home building and remodeling family, it is just where I feel at home. I

I would love any advice any one has for me.  I am a quick learner and a very honest person.  I have started to send out letters to find my first deal.  I am committed to send out as many letters and do as much networking as I can. 

I am so happy that I found this community.  If I would have only found this site 3 years ago.  I can not imagine where I would be right now.  Probably actually getting to complete flips.  I am grateful for every post and tid bit of advice everyone offers here.  I thought I would have to save up a huge amount of money to be able to attend one of the guru events.  I have been to several of their conferences.  But unfortunately they never give enough information to feel confident about completing the first deal without attending the high dollar events.  

Thank you to everyone in advance that takes the time to respond.
