I have a speaker coming who will talk about foundation issues/solutions, he has a lot of experience in the field and that is always a tricky topic when looking at properties.

Then day 2 and 3 I felt it turned into sales of mentor program with the main speaker Eddie Speed.

@Nick Doria , yes, the pitch can be annoying but the REIA I go to has also had those speakers i mentioned who are not pitching anything, as well as speakers who do have a program to sell.

If you are excited about our upcoming "Flipping For $1 Million Profit", the meeting has been moved to April to accommodate our guest speaker.

Last week's meeting was excellent with guest speaker Cherry Chan, CPA, who spoke about incorporation and tax implications for RE investors.  

I recently began listening to a few podcasts this past week, and from the few that I've listened to every guest speaker lists RDPD as the book to read for beginners.

If you sign up on there (it's all free), you can get updates about the upcoming meetings, speakers, and more.You should also check out the RPOA breakfast meetings every Friday at the Cheshire Grill in Grand Rapids.  

The speaker focused on wholesaling.

The speakers will be discussing commercial real estate and text sales.But be warned and be careful some of the REIA's will upsell you useless material.
