Hi BNaley,
I too am in the DC Metro Area. If you want to learn about Real Estate Investing and have a great place to network you should attend The DC REIA Meeting in Bowie. There is a VA Branch as well.

Hi,
I regularly attend the DC REIA meeting in Bowie, MD. Most of the meetings do have a sales pitch at the end. However, I use this as an opportunity to network and learn. Even if I get a couple of pointers, it adds to my knowledge pool and keeps me up to date with things that are going on in this area.

I have been to the one in Bowie, MD about 4 times now since aug 07. I like it a lot. It has a bit of a sales pitch at the beginning and sometimes at the end, but overall, I don't find it too "salesy," and I'm generally pretty easily annoyed by sales pitches, so I think my viewpoint is reasonable.
I have not been to the one in VA yet, but would like to do so. I feel that the Bowie club is heavily skewed towards Baltimore investors, and I live in DC, so I'd like to learn more about investor areas and investors that are closer to where I live (DC or Northern Virginia are all a bit more convenient). If anyone has attended the VA REIA meeting, let me know what you think of it.
I would also love to find out what the hot zip codes are in NOVA, DC, and Prince Georges Counties for investors these days. I'm about to start up my wholesaling business.
