I would be happy to help analyze deals (I recently built an easy to use excel model, which I'm happy to share) in exchange for meeting to discuss your business or to shadow investors as they meet with brokers, manage property (tenant walkthroughs, rent collection, repair supervision, eviction, etc.), negotiations, and closings.

Hey Peter -Nice to meet you and that sounds like a cool plan!

This is a great place to network and meet other investors. 

Hi all,I live in the Indianapolis area and am starting to think about potentially becoming a private money lender...I'm going to have to brush up on what the current state of real estate is as I haven't looked into the markets, etc in a while...My current question is related to CIREIA...Can anyone tell me what the 160 fee to join includes other than a monthly meeting and discounts at some stores?

I have had good success here in columbus so far - anyone want to meet up ?  

If you use DM correctly you can show folks that you value their time, would like to meet with them, and have their best interests in mind. 

Let's meet!

My experience has been investing in passive (syndicated) deals but would like to meet investors that can perhaps mentor and or help me get started and show me the way.  

No matter if the market is hot or cold, you will still have to do the work to research to find out where to invest.
