QUOTE (Muldoony @ Jun 8 2010, 09:05 PM) I`m looking for a real estate group in Barrie or Collingwood ON. Does anyone know of one? Or is there enough interest for one?
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
I`m not familiar with one and I have been investing in Barrie for many years. It may be something to look at in the near future if you receive interest.

I`m from the Collingwood area and just starting out in my Investment career. I haven`t acquired any properties yet, but am looking to surround myself with like minded people. Tough to soar when surrounded by turkeys. Thanks for your response Joe

Way to go!!! You have a good mindset already if you are thinking this way. Truly, you should join REIN then. If you don`t make it to all of the meetings, at least you will have access to the inside area of this forum which will answer a lot if not all of your many questions. There is a lot of information on Barrie and other top 10 cities also.
I struggled with the concept of paying a membership fee for this but as many others will admit, it was the best thing to do and we should have done it earlier.
Education is one of your best allies and I have run several businesses in my lifetime only by studying and following those who were successful. This is no exception.
Good luck!

Hi ya all!
I don`t know if this is what your looking for, but I thought I would pass it along. A small group of Apartment Owners in Orillia are forming an Apartment Association with the hopes of growing to include Barrie Apartment Owners. Give our website a look: http://www.srpa.ca/

Hey Joe,
Where are meetings held? As I have no business cashflow as of yet adding a member fee at this time could be detrimental. Is there a cost per meeting set up. I know there is a group in Toronto called PRIEG and it`s two tiered one price for members on for non members. I think this may be best for a starting point. But travel for me to Toronto is a challange.
Thanks,
Sean

Hello,
The website link is a little vague on the details. It says general meeting may 27th. When does this group meet again? I would be interesting in coming out and meeting other landlords in the area. Thanks

Hi Sean,
Usually the meetings are at the Marriot Hotel at the airport. There are a few real estate groups that emulate REIN and you can probably benefit from being associated with a few. It will at least allow you to choose which one brings you the most benefit. Just keep in mind that `free` seminars or non-member associations are there to upsell and mostly it is to get you into membership. Sooner or later you will end up a member of something so if your cash-flow is tight, choose wisely.
Another point you may consider about REIN, is their mail-only membership. You receive all of the documentation plus monthly CDs of the recorded audio from the meetings all for about $100/m. You would not be allowed to go physically to a meeting, but it sounds like it would be a challenge for you anyway. This is personally how I began my membership and soon after became a full-fledged member.

Our REIN membership has been worth every penny and my husband and I both have one which costs us over $300 a month! Soon after we went to our first ACRE in April 2009 we purchased our first property. We just closed on a triplex in April and are closing a duplex this month. We also just secured our first joint venture partner and $100,000 investor for 2nd mortgages. Without REIN we wouldn`t have the knowledge to do what we are doing, we wouldn`t have the courage to take those first steps. We have a lot of fantastic mentors that we`ve met thru REIN, we`ve increased our business thru REIN and we even found the deals on properties thru REIN members!
We rarely miss a meeting and go from Barrie every month. The cd`s supplied when you miss are great...but the networking at the meeting is well worth the trip!

It`s also difficult to soar when surrounded only by positive `go go` advice. Be positive, yet as Ronald Reagan said "trust, but VERIFY."
Edit: I`m a huge Don fan and have read his books. Just Ontario is a very odd and unique animal. If you want to make money here, it`s like a maze and a postive attitude + lots of info. is, I`ve found, needed.
Keep positive. Keep your dream alive. And...Learn more, more and more! I wish everyone here great success! I love this site!
