If you come to Fayetteville I host a meetup regularly I have a very active online book club (not real estate though it's mostly philosophy, history, and economics)

In a broader sense, I believe there are two main kinds of Investing Philosophies – the Conservative approach and the More Aggressive approach.

I really like Brandon's philosophy of not worrying too much about the early deals and just getting in! 

You'll want to make sure their philosophies align with what you're looking for. 

To sum it up, here are some of the benefits I see in masterminds now that I have been at it for over a year now:* Access to investors of various experiences and different investment philosophies* Consistent advice as you are always working with the same circle of members* Accountability, it will feel much more natural to get stuff done when everyone around you is* You are never alone in your decisions, you always have someone to reach out to* You develop strong and trusting relationships which take significant time In terms of the impact it has had on me, I would say the biggest is mindset.

Everyone's strategies and philosophies are different so take this with a grain of salt. 

This would be easier to set up if you were on the ground, as you really need to interview potential managers to be sure their methods and philosophy match your own and that you will be comfortable with them making decisions on your behalf.

@Juan David MaldonadoAccountants are more challenging than lawyersI have an awesome lawyer who I found through referral and interview them to get an understanding of how they operate from billing to philosophy.

@Daniel GoodmanMy philosophy is that profits from flipping should be reinvested into rentals anyway, no matter what market we're in.
