DIG does have the occasional national speaker / guru come to town, but the frequency of that has been reduced over the past decade.And DIG subgroup meetings are a good place to get better acquainted with investors who are also attending.

He teaches classes now and is a guest speaker at REI groups and for other speakers such as Mr.

No fees, no memberships, no selling speakers, no multi-level marketing.  

@Brian Burke I'm planning to attend next months Sonoma County Investor Meetup, I am expecting it to be very informative with the Director of the Permits and Resource dept. as the guest speaker. 

The speaker is someone who works with Larry Toomey. 

The speaker said he starts getting good response at 4 months.

The part that turned me off was the main speaker crying on stage after sharing personal information about his childhood.

CC @Jean Tranquille that is also an active wholesaler I think you should connect with.In terms of active meetups, there's not many that I've found through BP surprisingly - however if you go on EventBrite there's one main NYC meetup that happens across different boroughs quite often (once every 2 months or so) and attracts all types of parties (investors, lenders, speakers, etc.) 

Our local REI club is wonderful, but it has expenses that have to be paid -- speakers, a place to meet, a classroom for courses, tours of rehab houses, etc...

You have said that your a teacher, a mentor, a coach and also put on REI seminars to include speakers such as Marshal for 100 a pop."
