Our guest speaker is Pittsburgh's largest home buyer - Joe Calloway.

No specific reason, I just have not heard anything bad about the guy and I do a bunch of research on speakers since I am one myself.

Yes, there is a RIREIG meeting this Thursday in fact, though I know you've already been there Marc; just posting for the benefit of anyone who stumbles on this thread or via keyword alert :)Looks like the main speaker this month is speaking about LLCs and partnerships: http://rireig.com/meetings/

Visit www.abqreia.com to get a glimpse at the upcoming speakers, dates and times.

With that set aside, I've still seen some pretty solid presentations from guest speakers the The LAREC. 

Reading the back jacket of the book their vast knowledge seems to have come from being RE Agents and seminar speakers.

Arcata 95521Guest Speaker- Russell Marsan, IPX 1031 Exchange *** He is a wealth of knowledge so come with all your questions.I would like this and all future meetups a success so please pass on this info to any interested parties and also post to any social media accounts.

I also highly recommend listening to the BP podcasts (free - and I learn something new every podcast), plus Traction REIA has monthly speakers and workshops (under $70) that can also be very good training (although watch out for the sell for coaching or more in depth training).  

Here our talented and experienced speakers as they enlighten our members on Hot real estate topics.

I love how Josh and Brandon talk to guests on the podcasts and I immediately go research on the guest speaker and sign up to their newsletters and email listings to get even more info.
