REIN Membership..To be or Not to be?

[housingrental]

To learn about real estate investing...
But problem is - good portion already knew - good portion not relevant... .. I`d be more satisfied if it was cheaper or closer to me I guess...

some folks also join Ozzie Jurrock`s team in BC or other groups where they live .. and of course much stuff is not new as real estate has been around 200 years .. apparently you are independently wealthy and all-knowing, thus wise .. so congratulations !!

of course it is .. cost (of $2500) has to be considered in light of value received .. and if you already own 7 properties or so then you will enough information to easily triple, 10-fold or 50-fold it (if this is your goal which it may not be) .. is this not worth $2500/year ?

In all honesty, cashflow is bit of a problem for me and while I think I can manage the full memebrship I want to make sure it really is worth it.

Can someone you has joined say in the last year or two contact me? You can email me and I will call or I can provide my contact details.

I really want to know how you have used REIN memebrship to `evolve` further in the world of real-estate ownership, etc.

Much appreciated.

Hello ER,

I joined REIN a little over a year ago. Here is my well thought out soul searched response to you query:

JOIN and just get on with it.

How will I see / when? I`ve been on these boards for over a year and a member since April..
Lots of information... not valueable information...interesting? maybe.. informative.. maybe...
Yes reading books are cheaper... or even free...
Property management and RTA courses are more value added...
A quality ICI realtor should take care of the rest...
$2500 is much now, and I`ms ure always will be.. lots of other things to purchase...
Note I`m not on my 1st deal but 7th... and have cash for it.. ..
$2500 is still $2500...


Adam:
where do you take the RTA courses and the property management courses? Always looking to learn.

Thanks ever so much,

Sure Kimberly courses are available through reic and also Humber college.

When I first joined this site I had the same questions regarding membership.
I saw the value of membership that others derived from it.
For myself I could not see attending meetings nor did I have a desire to be independently wealthy.
I am very happy with my present investments and attribute at least part of that to information available through this forum.
I chose to research through this site, many other sites, books etc. and opted not to become a member.

The true value of membership in REIN lies in the extent to which you use it.

From your question it appears as though you`re already decided on REIN, its more a matter of a mail membership vs full one. Here`s my take. I got the mail membership, which, although is half as much you get every meeting with necessary hand outs and all audio (for listening to over and over) get all signing bonuses of full membership (Quickstart program and other info) can still attend ACRE event for free once a year, and I think you can attend one membership meeting per year for free, for $100 a month. This is a no brainer, if you`re only interested in info, go with the mail membership, if however, you have motivational issues and/or want to network, full membership is better (then again, you can network all you want right here too, although its not the same)

What I`ve done is get the mail membership and then go to ACRE event/membership meeting free, then decide from there, you can always upgrade... besides, because this membership is tax deductible..its really only like 60-70$ !!!!

any questions email me.
