With the constant bombardment of social media ads, the simple concept of authentic engagement gets overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to reintroduce you to your local real estate investors association (REIA). There are plenty of benefits of being a part of your local REIA that often get overlooked. They may not always do the best job with marketing and promotions, but the education you can find is still on point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was recently reminded of my introduction to real estate in the Phoenix market, and it was through my local REIA\u2014a staple of the real estate market in any city. So why have so many overlooked the REIA and fallen victim to high-priced courses and mentorship programs? Maybe it\u2019s simply because many are blinded by the bling of advertisement and forget the benefits of the local REIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, here are four simple benefits of your local REIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"hero-block_62df1a82bfc88\" class=\"first:mt-0 hero-block py-4    has-background has-slate-200-background-color has-text-color has-theme-gold-color\">\n    <div\n        class=\" flex flex-wrap lg:flex-nowrap max-w-screen-xl mx-auto px-4 relative lg:items-center \">\n\n        <div class=\"relative z-30 w-full \">\n            <main class=\"py-4\">\n                \n\n<p class=\"has-slate-800-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">Free Real Estate Webinars<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"my-3 md:my-5 lg:my-8 has-slate-900-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Shortcut the learning curve by attending a BiggerPockets webinar.

There is no hidden agenda or sales funnel to be concerned with. The teacher is actually an active investor that enjoys teaching. You can learn from real-life experiences and analyze actual deals in your home market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local market connections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only are your teachers experts in their field, but they are experts in your local market. During your education, you will learn what is occurring in your market. You will be able to analyze and evaluate deals in your city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I re-engaged with my REIA to learn more about what is happening in my market. With the fluctuation of the real estate market and the speed of changes, it\u2019s important to have a local perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many influencers are encouraging diversification in outside markets right now, which is not a bad thing, but it\u2019s important to have a local approach. The market updates I receive from our local REIA are amazing. The trends and projections really aid in positioning my company for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relationship building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What better opportunity to meet other real estate professionals who are serious about their education and their investments? This is the hub of where to find money, deals, partners, and whatever else you need that&#8217;s real-estate-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affordability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to pay $5,000 for coaching or $30,000 for a mastermind. Some REIAs are even not-for-profit to reinforce the principle that it\u2019s not about the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for affordable education that\u2019s market-specific, the REIA is a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are options for rock-solid education without the guru pitch. Plus, one of the first things gurus tell you to do is be a part of your local REIA because nearly everything you need is under one roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div id=\"posts_lists-block_606e38dcb8557\" class=\"  my-10\">\n    <div class=\"\">\n      <!-- Column One -->\n      <div>\n                  <h2 class=\"mt-0 mb-1 js-toc-ignore\">\n            Start networking today          <\/h2>  \n                  \n        \n        \n        <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-y-4 lg:gap-y-7 mt-5\">\n          \n<article \n\tid=\"post-115041\" \n\tclass=\"content-card mb-0 flex flex-col  post-115041 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-real-estate-investing-for-beginners\">\n\n\t<header class=\"entry-header\">\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- Image -->\n        \t\t\t<a class=\"post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/real-estate-investing-start-meetup-locally\" target=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"338\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/meetup-main.jpg\" class=\"size-card w-full  m-0 aspect-[68\/45] object-scale-down wp-post-image\" alt=\"How to Start a Local Real Estate Investor Meetup (&#038; Why You Definitely Should!)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/meetup-main.jpg 830w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/meetup-main-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/meetup-main-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t        \n\n\t\t<!-- Content Wrapper -->\n\t\t<div class=\"py-4 \">\t\n                            <div class=\"flex gap-4 justify-between items-center\">\n                    <!-- Category  -->\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/category\/real-estate-investing-for-beginners\" class=\"transition-colors bg-themeBlue\/20 text-themeBlue-medium hover:bg-themeBlue hover:text-white px-2 py-1 mb-2 inline-block rounded-sm no-underline text-sm\" target=\"_blank\">Investing For Beginners<\/a>\n                    \n                                            <span class=\"text-sm text-gray-500 hidden lg:inline-block\">4 min read<\/span>\n                                    <\/div>\n            \n           <div class=\"flex gap-3 items-center my-2 flex-nowrap text-base\">\n                <!-- Avatar and Author Name -->\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bp-wp-migration.s3.amazonaws.com\/author_avatars\/188236.jpg\" class=\"w-8 h-8 object-cover my-0 inline-block rounded-full\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><span class='leading-snug text-slate-500 flex items-center'><span class='hidden whitespace-nowrap sm:inline-block md:hidden lg:inline-block pr-1'><span class='posted-on'><time class=\"entry-date published\" datetime=\"2019-09-01T14:30:55-06:00\">Sep 01, 2019<\/time><time class=\"updated\" datetime=\"2021-03-16T14:55:42-06:00\">Mar 16, 2021<\/time><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;<a href='https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/contributors\/davidpere' class='no-underline line-clamp-1' target=\"_blank\">David Pere<\/a><\/span>            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Post title -->\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"entry-title js-toc-ignore mt-4 mb-0 text-xl leading-snug text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/real-estate-investing-start-meetup-locally\" rel=\"bookmark\"  \n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"whitespace-normal no-underline font-bold  text-slate visited:text-slate hover:text-themeBlue\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\tHow to Start a Local Real Estate Investor Meetup (&#038; Why You Definitely Should!)\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n                        <p class=\"text-lg font-normal mt-3 text-slate-500 mb-1 line-clamp-3\">Real estate investing is a people business.
