They are an investing and mentor group and that focuses on Buy and Hold but you can still go to their free workshop and meet investors who have cash to invest and there are tables set up with brochures for hard money lenders and other vendors that you are looking for and can assist you in building your team.Check out Meetup for real estate and wholesalers meetings you can network with.

This site is very informative also you may be able to find a mentor in your area.

Find a good mentor along the way.

I would find a mentor in your area that already does whole selling or flipping.

I have been helped and mentored along the way and I believe in passing that on.

Someone at church volunteered to mentor me.  

Find s good mentor in your area and don't ever give up!

As our mentor keeps telling us, the asset is either a good deal or a bad deal all on its own.

Felt really excited about going and potentially joining since I read there are benefits to joining a REIA because you can network and meet potential buyers, mentors. and or potential partners.

If you are seeking a mentor you will commit yourself to reading enough basic information about a topic (Buy & Hold, Flipping, and etc), so you can ask pointed questions to real estate professionals" Thank you @Jordan Thibodeau (how do i add a name with the @symbol?)
