To all my new Bay Area investors friends and colleagues I really enjoyed meeting all of you and look forward to all future collaborations.

The culture of the group is very collaborative and supportive.

The group is very collaborative which is a major plus for us.Definitely check them out and PM me if you have any questions/concerns!

It has its advantage as when you get your team together to collaborate and creatively solve a problem; there are many positive things that come about.It is seen that teammates are more open to sharing ideas to one & another and seeking advice on individual projects during a brainstorming session & it improves the team’s ability to think outside the box.5) The distribution patternSending mass emails are not enough these days, you have to market them as well.

I have been following the podcast and forums for a little while and just started looking for a REIA group in the Lubbock area to meet and collaborate!

The one thing I would ask is are you working with or have collaborated with someone who has experience in the asset class you want to invest in? 

So he came by to see what we do and talk potential collaborations. 

I look forward to meeting potential collaborators, mentors, and like-minded individuals - but would like a bit of guidance in how to even go about RE proposals if you have no proof of your own success. 

If I'm financing with a relative or partner I expect to collaborate but have them do alot of the day to day that is necessary to keeping these multiunit properties above water.
