You have the benefit of learning about real estate w/o having to invest a great deal of money, aside from the yearly/quarterly membership fee( a nominal fee), and you get to network with other investors face-to-face and ask questions.You can do a google search online for Milwaukee's REIA to find where one, or several are located.

I did pay a bird dog so that tells you how important networking is.

My read on this is that it's worth it; the business model is great.

Networking is very important in this biz - get to know everyone you can.

Once you have their names, call your own club meeting and network to prosperity.

The best way is to build your network with those who have ties within the zoning dept.

Tuesday - Spend day networking with realtors, bankers, credit unions, mortgage companies and all others you come into contact with (spend about 2 to 3 hours)Wednesday - Go through newspaper for homes for rent, FSBO, Homes For Sale, Legal paper listings and searching neighborhoods and drive by.

With all your contacts, you should have a great network to get you going.

I am interested in networking with other like minded people, so please drop me a note so we can see how we may be able to mutually benefit each other.I look forward to hearing from you,
