A great way to become an amazing real estate investor is to be a member of your national and/or local Real Estate Investor Associations.
REIAs are trade organizations for investors which have bloomed all across the country since the 1960’s and now have over 40,000 members nationwide, including Frontline’s own agents! Do not miss out on them and see why you should join one today.
Networking
Every REIA has members of all levels, which means you will connect with both small and large investors that can help you reach your goals, and also with other professionals of the industry like real estate agents, contractors, lawyers and accountants. Remember networking is vital in real estate.
Education
One of the most important parts of these associations is the free exchange of information. Instead of spending big bucks on classes and coachings, you can try regularly attending meetings, where you will be able to learn about a lot of subjects, from updates on laws and regulations to new information on the market.
Mentoring and Support
With networking comes the chance to be mentored by seasoned investors who can most likely offer words of wisdom in regards to problems you may be encountering. Having support from them and other investors can really make a difference.
What makes this great too, is that you will be learning from other investors who have been where you are and succeeded.
Financial benefits
Most REIAs have affiliations with partner companies, so you will be able to access discounts, deals and offers through these sponsors to save some money.
These meetings can also be a great place to meet partners to increase your purchasing power by pooling your financial resources together and find more opportunities for properties you may not be able to purchase on your own.
