1st REI Meeting

[Marques Barton]

What's going on BP?!

I went to my first REI meeting in august and it was pretty intimidating lol. I kind of felt lost because on one end I'm sitting here taking it all in, realizing that this is a great network place but also thinking when I tell people that I'm a NEWBIE and I want to get into wholesaling I would probably just get brushed off. Seems to be a bad stigma on wholesalers in the Metro Detroit area and talking to experience investors with no deals and little knowledge seem like I would have just added to that stigma.

I'm looking to attend  this month meeting not sure if going to become a member just yet, I'm definitely taking it upon myself to introduce myself to people and let them know what I'm trying to do as RE and that I'm trying to di it the right way because I want to help people and be successful.

Bad stigma comes from trying to pass off bad deals and running a business with little to no integrity.  

I'm sure you went to that REIA meeting because someone told you its a great way to start. They went through it just like you're going through it. Ask questions, set up lunch/coffee meetings from people you can learn from. Pass out your card and just make yourself known.

It'll all fall into place one day. 

Cheers and good luck.
