It's like gym membership, just because you have it -- it won't turn into Arnold Schwarzenegger if you don't do the work.4.

And me deciding which membership plan is a good fit for me is another factor. 

The IRS does not view these properties favorably and lumps them in with Stocks/Bonds/Membership in an entity etc...

I just paid for my BP Pro membership and would love to get connected with anyone locally to network. 

I got on a call with them and then their membership coordinator to discuss joining their community and I ultimately did not join because the price tag was $500 per month, but the idea seemed rather interesting to pursue possibly by myself or with other people not needing to pay $500 per month to make it happen.

Fred and Tracy open membership to the mentoring group 2x per year.

You will have to become active and join a firm where you'll have oversight, and if you want keys to the kingdom so to speak (unlock doors/show property) you'll have to subscribe to your NAR MLS, perhaps your commercial board, and all the memberships your firm requires.

Would it be wise/necessary for me to buy a certain course or membership in a group to get me feet off of the ground?

Lastly, I plan on purchasing pro membership soon, so that I'll be able to analyze more deals.Looking forward to networking with you all.

Last, I’d recommend signing up for the BP pro membership if you’re going to start analyzing a lot of properties because it’s really important to know the numbers work and you’ll be making a good CoC return and good cash flow with your properties.
