Quote from @John Mason: Maybe best to get boots on ground and  go the meetups before doing remote stuff  is a  good approach Hi John, I couldn't agree more.

Quote from @John Morgan: @Tyler BilinovicIt’s simple to do yourself.

Agreed with @John Underwood it is basically a job. 

Quote from @John Morgan: Been there done that.

In time you'll figure out to not pay or try to learn from folks who used to be doers and who are now supporting themselves on coaching fees and weekends.   

Quote from @John Underwood: Neither of these are money money.

They are more like an investment club / provide coaching (I am guessing for a fee) but I as a sponsor was told we don’t get any fee or have to provide any kickbackSomeone I know who is a member noted they do not act as investment advisors or provide investment advice nor are paid based on specific investments but I am sure someone can Confirm this I wonder how they get paid then.. ???

So many "meetups" are just veils for the hosts who are looking to find investors for their next flip, syndication or coaching program.

@John Thedford Could you clarify a bit?

I recommend to newer investors to find good coaching.
