I looked at exp, but it appears to be a multi level marketing company where agents that recruit other agents receive part of the override from those agents sales.  

They seem to also be trying to lock up the market and recruit anyone who advertises their services on Craigslist. 

Although your margin may be cut by partnering with a recruiter or corporate housing firm directed at healthcare professionals, they are doing the legwork of finding tenants for you.

What do you charge for recruiting new tenants?

To take a stab at #3, I'd say the one thing a regular REIA meeting needs is content that the members find valuable - WITHOUT trying to get members to buy anything.It sounds like a simple answer, but very often you will have investors of various experience levels, so you have to understand your members and cater to their needs.It seems like you get (or, we seem to get) around 60% new people, 30% intermediate, and 10% advanced/full time investors, at our meetings.So naturally, much of our meeting content (presenters) is aimed at beginners, but we try to include enough medium level content to keep the medium & advanced people interested enough to keep coming back, and also to give the beginners an idea of the next level they can grow towards.It seems like our group has had challenges with advanced presenters/material as it seems too leave too many of the new/medium level investors out, so typically what I've seen happen is that the advanced people identify each other and then meet in small groups or network with each other individually, using the REIA to stay in touch and make new individual connections.I'd also recommend you try to recruit some people early on when you start, to help you with everything as I think these kinds of groups can grow quickly and the more help you have, the better!

I know many of the members personally to be intelligent, honest folks who will truly help their fellow investors be smart about things, but I felt like the group I attended was the epitome of the word "frenzy" portrayed in my picture above.The education appears to be top-notch, but the MLM recruiting structure does bad things to the members and the prospective members--it sucks in people who probably shouldn't be in real estate, and for the members it turns all their friends into targets, LOL. 

One 30+ year veteran I know has 25 assistants and is a powerhouse, she hires directly out of college (myself being an example), and most of her hires are female because the young men with their fancy humanities degrees from fancy universities are mostly all delusional and want to start off with some lofty high foluten title and position that they frankly aren't qualified for (I obviously did not have this delusion), no matter what non-mortgage experience they have... if you join the Marines after 15 years in the US Army and six deployments to Iraq/Afghan, you start off at recruit training with the 19 year olds, and you get promoted "demoted" from Army Staff Sergeant to Marine Private.

Outside of online searches, you’d have to find investors who have had success and even then how can you be sure that they’re not tryin to recruit you for their own benefit. $150k is a lot of money to lose, especially if someone else loses it for you.

I started looking for investing groups on Meet Up and found one here in Orange County, which turned out to be a meeting to recruit people to work for them (1099) to find wholesaling deals.
