I am looking to get involved in a REIA, somewhere near Buckhead where I will be living.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I'm also interested in residential but would like to consider the higher end New Units / Multiple duplexes being built in the Wichita Area and to see where those go as well.

Lisa - Lakewood is by far the hottest market in the Greater Cleveland region, last week I sold a western Lakewood duplex in multiple offers in a matter of days.

I am pretty new to REI but am very anxious to get involved.

They systematize there lending and if you don't fit the mold, you may get bad info.  3) shop around to get multiple opinions and options, 4) be aggressively engaged and don't accept the first second or third answers you're given and always always do your own research to fact check (google and BP can answer anything).   

As an investor I am frustrated in multiple markets by the lack of professionalism be it because of a lack of information on a property, customer service or because folks feel like it is ok to ask me to send them a bank statement prior to giving me any additional information on a property.

I'm currently involved in my first syndicated deal, and my advice is to just talk to people about what you are doing and what you are looking for.

In this case, multiple tenants have rented these units for 5/6 years-I figured keeping long term tenants is a priority, but what I am hearing is initial turnover is not necessarily a bad thing.

My goal is here to get involved as much as possible, and start developing my network.I look forward to digesting more information, and meeting all of you.If any of you are in my area, please reach out and lets talk and connect!
