Anybody from Orange County or the surrounding areas out there? Looking for like minded people to network with. Especially wholesalers! Has anyone had good experiences with local REI groups? Look forward to hearing from you!


Real Estate Agent · Redlands, California


Inland Empire here, the land of bro's and soccer moms reporting in. No REI clubs out here though. Alteast no goods ones. I'm up for some networking if you have investors looking to cashflow.



I'm in Long Beach, not too far away.

I still haven't bought my first property but hopefully soon. I'd love to get together and talk (though I won't bring much experience to the table)


Real Estate Agent · Buena Park, California


Sorry it's taken me a while to check back in. I wasn't getting email notifications when replies were made. Either way thanks for replying!

I'm suprised there wasn't more of a response. I'm not looking to start a new REI club or anything. Just hoping to hear a good response from some folks about local REI meetings/clubs they've been to. Maybe I'll just visit a few and report back with results.


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


New club which starts June 11 in Anaheim for anyone interested. I know the owner and will be a regular speaker at her club. She just held an all day conference in Anaheim which I attended as well. It was lots of fun.

Contact me if any of you locals to that area are interested in joining.

I'm interested! Anaheim is just up the 5 from me.

Who's putting these events on? How many are attending? What have you been speaking about at these events? What are the specifics for the June 11th event? I.e. time, place, agenda.

Thanks!

I just re-read your message. " Land of bro's" , that's hilarious. My friend used to say that!

Have you ever been to any of The Norris Group's events? I don't think they have regular REI meetings but from what I've read about them and what I've observed about what they offer I'm very interested. They are very focused on So Cal and educating investors. Plus I think they are relatively close to you (Riverside).

I'm always up to considering " new" marketplaces. I'd love to chat about what's going on in your market. I also sent you a PM. I'm not getting email notification when a reply is posted so maybe you can send me an email directly. It's listed below in my signature. Thanks!


Rehabber · Riverside, California


Hi Dustin,

The Norris Group speaks at clubs but does not run one ourselves. Closest thing we have is the radio show on KTIE 590am on Saturdays at 6pm. Most, however, download it or stream it from our website or from iTunes.

The Inland Empire Investors Forum is the closest club I know of. There was once upon a time a Riverside group but it disbanded last year I believe.

Bruce is actually speaking at the Corona club in July.


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


Dustin,

The new club is called " The Naked Real Estate Investors Club" and the first meeting will be this Wednesday June 11. Networking starts at 6:30 and the meeting starts at 7:30.
Go to www.nakedrealestateinvestors.com for more details.

Bruce Norris along with Mike Cantu and Tony Alvaraez will be panel speakers taking Q&A from the attendees. It should be a powerful evening of education.

Just to be clear, you are not to come " naked" to the event (ha ha).
The name comes from the owner (an investor herself) who was tired of the guru hype and wanted the " Bare Truth About RE Investing" , hence the name.

Thanks everyone! If my schedule permits I'm going to attend this meeting and I'll definitely be fully dressed, thanks for clarifying, LOL.

I'll also check out the audio of the past radio shows too, thanks for the tip! Will anyone else from this forum be attending the event on Wednesday?


Banker · Chino, California


I'm bummed I missed the 6/11 meeting. I'll keep an eye out for the next meeting.


Real Estate Agent · Buena Park, California


Okay, so the Naked Real Estate event was great! Lot's of vendors to talk to, people to network with and an open forum for questions with Bruce Norris of The Norris Group, Tony Alvarez and Mike Cantu (sorry I forgot the 4th genlemens name).

They were all great and very inciteful. No holding back either on answering the questions. So many tidbits I had a hard time recalling it all.

The beggining of the event starts with check in and network. At that time there are vendors set up that you can talk to and/or network with other investors. This lasts about an hour. After that you take your seats and the questions for the panel begin.

No upsells, no hard closes to buy some guru's program, just raw honest info from seasoned investors about what they are doing, where they were doing it and how (in some detail, they can't give away the farm).

If the next one is anything like this first meeting I would recommend going to the next one if you can. I believe it's every 2nd Wednesday of the month.

Check it out at www.NakedRealEstateInvestorsClub.com


Rehabber · Santa Clarita, California


Dustin,

Glad the event was beneficial to you. We had a great time as well.
I am not sure who Rosie has for the July meeting, but we will be the guest speaker in August. Hope to see you there again.

Will,

When is the next Norris Group meeting? I would like to attend this meeting. I am a newbie and want to learn everything I can.



The best club in OC is the OC REI Forum in Irvine. If you want the biggest one I suggest the big one in LA - the REIC of LA meeting at the Sheraton.

Real Estate Investor · Los Angeles, California


I am in the LA area. I hit Phyllis Rockower's meetings occasionally. I can't think of the name of the group. If you Google "Real Estate Investment Club Los Angeles" it's number one in the organic search results. I've seen it listed on biggerpockets, too. It's a huge group. 200+ at the meetings I've been to.. It's at the Radisson in Culver City. I thought that was the biggest in this Area. I've seen Bruce Norris speak there a long time ago, and loved it. I will check out Paul's, too, at the Sheraton. I get down to OC pretty often. I will have to check out that big meeting as well. I actually might be into smaller club with more of a mastermind group feel, too.
