I hear “speakers” talk about borrowing Private or Hard Money to finance a deal and not to worry because “the property stands for the debt”.

If you're a newbie, I believe it is an absolute basic requirement.Not only will it help clear up some outstanding issues and provide a detailed step-by-step procedure, but also the speakers, Shirley Henderson in particular, offer some valuable tips I have yet to see in any book, YouTube video, etc., or anyone here on bigger pockets.For instance, they will go over the process of double closing, how is totally unnecessary and why only newbie wholesalers would consider it.

when i was talking to the son i was trying to build rapport but i was kind of talking to many people cause i was on speaker...  

I don't think I'll buy one of his Coffee Farms any time soon, but he's an interesting speaker@Mark Nolan  I'll be sure to connect with folks around RVA!

We meet once a month and talk about investing strategies, have guest speakers, etc.

They are for a for profit REIA so there is usually a speaker selling something at the main event but there is always so much more to the meetings.  

Had a blue spark mic, presonus pre-amp, I think it's called BX 20 or something studio speakers, shure headphones, and studio one software program.

Below is an old post from Jun 05 '07Originally posted by @Jon Holdman: So, I was listening to a podcast the other day and the speaker was talking about when he started out.

The meetup @Adam Spencer mentioned that we do is like the before-the-speaker or after-the-speaker part of a REIA.

We always have knowledgeable guest speakers presenting as well.
