REAL ESTATE CLUBS AND ASSOCIATIONS CAN BE FOUND throughout the United States, Canada and worldwide. Types of clubs and associations include local groups; state groups; national groups; general real estate investment groups; and groups specializing in commercial, multifamily or residential properties. Nearly every major city has its own real estate investment group.
IT’S EASY TO FIND CLUBS AND ASSOCIATIONS on the Web.
Just use your favorite search engine to find “real estate investment clubs” and “real estate investment associations.” To narrow your search down to groups in your area, include your state, city or zip code in your search.
CHECK OUT GROUPS BEFORE JOINING.
Some groups are free to join and some charge membership fees. Some are designed to sell products or opportunities. Ask the club’s contact person about the club’s purpose, members, activities and fees. You’ll have a better idea of what to expect and you’ll spend your money more wisely.
MANY GROUPS have general phone numbers but no permanent headquarters. A club’s contact person might take calls at their home or business, and the group might meet at a local library, restaurant or hotel. While some clubs have been around for many years, new clubs are being formed all the time, and others come and go.
YOU CAN START YOUR OWN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT GROUP.
This can be a great way to get support and encouragement from people like yourself, to provide a community service, to socialize, and to meet influential people. Once you establish your group, you can list it in the directories listed below.
