I havent made it to an REIA event in a few months, but my evenings have freed up a bit, so I intend to start going again.

Every month I host a meetup which focuses on educating real estate investors and allows you to network with like minded people.Here is a link to the next event which is Thursday May 29th. 7:00 pm in Newmarket.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/90/topics/128121-toronto-area-real-estate-investors-meetupLet me know if you have questions, I have done a lot of different strategies from flips, buy and holds, renos, single family homes, multi-plexes.

For me it is about $1500 a year - so when you decided to get one or not make sure you include that I find it best to attend local REI events or network with other local investors Here is a list of groups by state http://www.biggerpockets.com/rei/real-estate-clubs/As far as the SFH vs MFH I think it depends on your market.

But, I go to the free 3 hr. event - the teaser one - I never swipe my credit card in the back of the room.

@Bryan Wilson there is also a forum for more informal events here:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-events-and-happeningsAnd you can also set up alerts on topics or cities here so you get notified when somebody posts about ithttp://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

It's a great forum to bring in potential deals for group discussion. we usually get about 30 investors attending this meeting and I almost always attend, I'll be there tonight.You can get more info and RSVP on their events web page.Hope to see you there.Randy Johnston

There is an investors meetup comming next Tuesday in Irvine that sounds like a huge event that I'm planning on attending:HOUSE FLIPPING PANEL SUCCESSFUL LOCAL INVESTORS UNPLUGGED!!

These guys are professional salesmen and they really packaged the event.

They can help you avoid a large taxable event or other unforeseen circumstances.Good luckPeter
