Membership was reasonable, and while they were advertising a class/speaker, it was a 2 day course for maybe $100? 

Our Black Diamond group is next Tuesday in Waltham, URL in my signature, free, no selling speakers or pitches.

In fact it was the speaker at my entrepreneurship class Wednesday night that motivated me to get started.I’m not exactly sure what I want to do in real estate yet and I’m still researching what would work best in my area.

Admittedly, I am not much of a blogger, and not an overly eloquent speaker, but am learning the importance of connecting with those outside of my circle of influence.

Whew, I just learned more in this thread than I have from the past 10 REIA guru speakers combined. haha Yes, I think the electrician on our last house did mention a line upgrade.

The speaker guaranteed the listeners that we can earn 24% investing in tax liens from Florida.

They had about 20 people there last night.They had different speakers come up and talk about the benefits of real estate and the different ways to make a profit.

He also had a great line (which I promptly stole) when he said “ 70% of all statistics confuse 80% of the people 90% of the time.†Statistcs can be spun in so many ways as you can see in this article: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2009/02/23/spin-cycle-real-estate-statistics/I can’t wait to hear what that fantastic speaker at the Real Estate Insiders Club has to say in his economic update in April!

Besides, it was all paid for by mom and dad.Just a short list of what I've found and sold: multiple color televisions, printers, surround sound speaker system, tuner, radios, complete set of golf clubs and bag, nice clothes, futon, assorted furniture, appliances, MONEY, dope (no I didn't sell that, just threw it out!)
