Connect with REIA meetings, accountability partners, and mastermind groups.

Brandon Turner mentions we are considered to be the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with so connect with REIA meetings, accountability partners, and mastermind groups to engage with individuals interested in real estate investing.At the bottom of this page is a list with help in it.

This was extremely useful.The way that he discussed his next level (Mastermind), it sounded as though this would be great as a next step to launch someone interested in syndication.

As Dave Torres (who is a wholesaler) said, we have two active REIAs, plus we have a Mastermind group for experienced investors and TWO new groups dedicated to multifamily.

I have already started my business plan, formed a mastermind group, and gotten a lot of friends/family interested.

We actually are starting a REIA/mastermind/meet-up here in Bloomington and are meeting this morning at 10am at Scholars Inn on 3rd St.We meet at 10 am the 3rd Saturday of every month at Scholars Inn Bakehouse on 3rd St (by Target).Lots to learn about the Bloomington market!

I have the opposite experience, yet another investor in my mastermind group said she has always had better luck with the marketplace.I keep everything in the repertoire, though. 

Anyone interested in getting a raising funds mastermind going?
