The concept you heard about at REI club is essentially a lease option, which seems to be unacceptable in Texas past 6 months. 

@Allende Hernandez I understand the concept of what they are providing but I'm struggling to see how it's worth it.

I went to a seminar over the weekend (a total scam to sell education, not properties) but was intrigued with the concept of Wholesaling.

We have a business journal called the triangle business journal.

The person who scales the 30K Midwest gig will blow your socal concept out of the water!

It's really good for giving you an overview of how different real estate investing approaches work and at least expose you to some of the concepts you will need to learn along the way.If you're looking for a local mentor, I suggest you check out some of the real estate investor meetups around your hometown.

There is a difference between the "Net Zero" and "Passive House" concept.

I would love to master the concepts of  wholesaling, buy and flip, and buy and hold.

Opportunities will pencil out more easily in The Heights, Journal Square, or Bergen-Lafayette, and many areas can access Newport via the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail.Another factor to consider is desirability.
