Steve Rozenberg has a MasterMind group that focuses on setting our business mindset on the right track. 

No matter your level of experience, you simply will not be able to do everything on your own, so enlisting your own mastermind group will not only help you be more productive, but will help you work through the inevitable problems and challenges that you’ll face.Your team at the very least should be composed of a real estate broker, contractors, architects, insurance specialists, accountants and money lenders.

We also have a MasterMind/REIA group here, for those who have completed at least one deal.

I am a new investor looking to meet and greet and to come up with a mastermind group.

I am a part of a mastermind that deals with specifically non-residential commercial real estate.

I have found most of my mentors through the different networking and mastermind groups Im in which are all online.
