For the foreclosure real estate investor, REI clubs make good sense. These clubs specialize in the education of the real estate investor. Through periodic meetings, email campaigns, and knowledge posted on club member sites, real estate investors young and old can obtain information, from how to get started in today's down market to maintaining and growing your business.
Real Estate Investment Clubs are particularly useful to those in foreclosure properties. REI clubs provide you with an instant network of contacts. Need information on finding leads for a particular type of property? Not sure how to deal with tenants in that 'buy and hold' property you got such a great deal on? Need to flip that foreclosure you just bought quickly? If you are in an REI club, answers to these questions are as close as your member roster.
Real Estate Investment Clubs do have membership dues for joining. However, for that membership fee, you are often granted access to exclusive member events, such as guest speakers, and member forums where you get exposed to new trends, 'insider' secrets to success, and meet, greet, and hobnob with folks who are just like you.
Foreclosure properties can be challenging to finance. Often these properties require quick funding for the short sale. REI clubs are a great place to learn about creative financing. Members share knowledge collectively to make sure everyone is successful! This is particularly valuable with the locating of private money lenders, often great choices when it comes to purchasing foreclosure properties.
Membership packages in real estate investing clubs often come with huge perks that can save you hundreds, if not thousands, on your investment. Some host periodic sales events where you can bring a guest to hear about the benefits of REI - a great networking and marketing opportunity for you. Some offer retreats or cruises for members only, where local, regional, and national gurus are at your disposal for the duration of the trip. Some offer discounts on services and products through local businesses. This is especially useful if the foreclosure property you are purchasing has a lot of rehab work to be done.
If there isn't a real estate investment club available locally, consider starting your own. You will quickly find that there are plenty entrepreneurs who are in the same boat as you, who are more than willing to form a support network. With REI clubs, synergy is key: many heads are definitely better than one.
