Looking to get involved with a group in Dallas. Suggestions are appreciated.

I would encourage you to join the Indy Facebook groups, including the Out of State Investor group. 

I am a soon to be licensed agent looking for a team to join in Columbus, OH.

Just by joining you are taking the first step to financial freedom.

Starts at 6pm CST TONIGHT  I hope you can join us.

For sake of complete transparency, in Maryland I completed the classes online, joined Coldwell Banker and I am a member of the National Association of Realtor which I recommend:Real estate courses = $225 (PDI Training - one time)License fee = $91 (every 2 years)Realtor association fee = $721 (annual)Coldwell Banker Error & Omission insurance = $765 (annual)MLS initiation fee = $250 (one time)MLS fee = $492 (annual, paid in quarterly due)Sentrilock access card fee = $169 (annual)TOTAL - $2,709.This will vary by state of course, and by brokerage.You'll have some continued education costs as well to keep your license active.

Just by joining you are taking the first step to financial freedom.Ultimately, you will need to decide on your ultimate goal for investing in real estate and then determine how you want to get involved/start.

You start to see some interesting things when you 'join' this against the city Assessor file, in regards to how many actual units the Assessor is saying exists, and the number of units being licensed through the city.It also provides a road map for violations, and the 'tiers' to work off of, changes of ownership...

Since I first joined BP (3 years ago?)

I joined because I’m interested in investing in rental properties... and a lot of them.
