Is six figures really the norm to join REI training groups?

I understand building a strong network is essential when it comes to real estate investing. If you don’t have your first deal working with those that do almost seems like a waist of their time from recent experience. On another note being marketed to join a community of like minded real estate investors seems to just end up in a sales call to hand over my credit card for $5000 to $20000. Is this normal? There has to be another way where sweat equity can buy your way into a community of investors right?

There are plenty of free groups and BP is full of free information. Keep doing your research. Just remember, free information is usually worth what you pay for it. When looking for someone to share information of value, you should be prepared to provide something of value in return. You can offer services evaluating properties, driving for dollars, marketing, sweeping floors at a construction site, hauling materials, answering the phone, compiling reports, etc. Make a list of your skill sets and then offer work in exchange for mentoring, partnership, or whatever.
