I attended a workshop on notes last Sat, which was hosted by the DC REIA, Traction, which I have also joined.

I know the septic has major issues and there are clouds on title, but these still need some research.

The podcast hosts got it right.  

The business model taught by NationalREIA is to host a once a month meeting at a hotel, where you bring in an out of town guru EVERY MONTH, and sell stuff.Like most REIAs, we bought into this strategy for 2 years until I realized 50% of our members (back then) never showed up again after 4-6 months.This model contributes to lots of folks walking around "dazed and confused" about how this business really is suppose to work.In 2005, we bought our own building to teach our own classes using local investors who really do deals to teach.  

Cloud, or Fargo/Moorhead.

@Brandon Turner and I will be hosting a meet-up on July 8th at the Lakewood Ram.

A licensed agent would NEVER need an NCND since they would essentially be the listing agent contracted with the Seller.Do not let the idea of many properties being sold at once cloud the judgement of how real property is bought and sold.  

I use GoDaddy for my email and website hosting.

I have just recently attended a REIA Meet hosted by @Brie Schmidt, at Bar Louie (It was very nice). as suggested by @Paul Timmins (One down and two different ones to go Paul).

My goal is to be as mobile and light as possible using cloud and web based services whenever possible.I'll probably go with a MB AIR.
