@Russell Best join your local REIA.I chased down a real estate license, attended other meetups, read and researched, narrowly escaped the bite of a shark (be wary of shady people), chased my tail and too many squirrels (wasting my precious time), then found the network and education I wish I’d had from the start.The REIA has by far been my best investment of time and money.
