I haven't made it to any REIA events yet but definitely plan on it in the near future.

We do have a REI group, http://www.meetup.com/EastTexasRealEstateInvestors/It is held in Lindale, but all the Longview/Tyler and even some Dallas investors attend.

Under the "Community" tab you will find forum categories and networking events that can give you more information about the local market.

I've been getting stuck in the "analysis paralysis" stage, and it was great to get out there.We happened to pass an open house, went in, spoke to the listing agents, told them what we were looking for and exchanged information and actually attended another open house they hosted that afternoon.We also scoped out a listing in another area, and within 30 seconds another investor and his agent pulled up.  

I will be attending Than Merrill's three-day weekend event in Detroit, MI and I am nervous!

I attend Texas State University where I'm seeking a business and marketing degree with a minor in finance.

In addition to the advice from @Joel Owens.be helpful to others - share you knowledge.check the networking events under the "Community" tab above for any BP meetings in your area and then attend on a regular basis.

The quickest lending opportunity for a debtor is generally after medical bills were the cause or other unforeseen event beyond the borrower's control.

Yes I found one at a local high school that I will be attending this Wednesday.

And of course I habe attended a an few seminars in the Reno area and they are all like those late night infomercials that say "if you pay only $19.99 you roo can have this life".
