@Alexander Bustos I am planning on coming to the BP meetup here soon. I am already part of the Facebook group so I get all the updates. I may not be able to make it though because I am in the process of looking for a house and may be out!

I came across Scott Scheel's Commercial Property Academy and his apartment investing course looked interesting.

I saw that awhile ago a few members have used some of his books and they said they weren't bad. I was wondering if anybody had used anything of his recently or had any success with his information. Even more specifically, if anybody has used his apartment investing course, I would love to hear feedback from that!

Thanks!

Thanks for the info Dan. I have been mulling around in mind whether to join or not. I have heard and read good and bad things. I am leaning toward it thinking it would be a great place to have a lot of knowledge concentrated in a smal group in a set location. I think the biggest draw for me would be being able to call up and ask questions whenever.

I went the route of working for a commercial real estate development company as an analyst for them. I just got out of college and decided I wanted to learn and get into the real estate business. I analyze financials for their development deals and help put equity and debt packages together.

I don't know what your educational background is or what all development companies look for, but I can tell you that for the company I work for a real estate analyst (or asset management analyst, or development analyst) needs to have a degree in some kind of business capacity; whether it real estate, finance, economics (my degree), or general business. Also, as an analyst, a strong aptitude for numbers is a must and proficient to advanced skills in Excel modeling.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Wow looks like quite the discussion about them! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello all,

I am located here in Dallas, Texas and attended a free introductory seminar from Lifestyles Unlimited REIA last night. I enjoyed listening to what they had to say and the speaker was very informative.

I was thinking about joining, but I wanted to ask and see if anybody else had any experiences with them (both good or bad). They seem to have a ton of resources available to their members and I was curious if anyone could speak to the quality of their information. It seems like a solid network, but just wanted to hear if others have given them a try.

Thanks!

Jon Klaus Thanks John! I remember speaking with you briefly at the last BP Dallas meetup.

Michael Attaway Here's to both of us being successful on our new real estate journey!

Carlos F. Yep I was at the last BP meetup at the restaurant on Greenville Ave. I got to meet a few of the local guys so that was pretty cool.

Patrick Jackson Thanks Patrick! I'm definitely looking forward to gaining knowledge and picking people's brains!

Brandon Turner Thanks Brandon and keep the podcasts coming!

Marco Santarelli Thanks Marco! I am already part of your email list for turnkey properties. Not 100% sure if that's the way I want to go yet, but defintiely looking into it.

Dan Shoemaker Thanks Dan! I have been looking into a few REI groups and I did come across Lifestyles Unlimited. I have listened to a few of their podcasts. It's good to hear from someone that they are a solid group. I know there are a number of REI clubs here in Dallas and I don't want to waste my time at the ones that just pitch products or hype.

I'll definitely check out The Roddy Roundup!
