📢 Exciting February Events at REAPS! 

🐂 EVENT of the month….

I was hoping to connect will someone with some event venue experience.

Here is the link to the calendar for you to get an idea: https://www.alamoreia.org/Calendar.aspxThere is an annual fee to become a member of a REIA, but you don’t need to be a member to attend certain events.

Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.

Message me for the details of this event.

Typically if you attend any investor meetings about 1/2 the crowd in many groups are agents looking for business.If you want to network, try service clubs, alumni groups, charities, religious groups, hobby groups or whatever interests you. 

There are sometimes events in the Bay Area that Brad's students attend. 

For a new investor, events like this are a goldmine.
