I must confess, as a real estate agent, I love working with my buyers and sellers and providing the best service possible, but I also enjoy working with wholesalers. I have had the opportunity to work with Rocco Forte at my office, where we find potential properties, run the numbers, visit the property, come back and fine-tune the underwriting, make offers, negotiate with the agent, get into deals, get out of deals, and work with buyers.

I love real estate. It's a fantastic adventure.

My real estate journey began with Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, a book that sparked my passion for property investment. Inspired, I devoured real estate books, bought my first investment property, and became a landlord. I teamed up with flippers to learn trades like electrical, plumbing, and painting, all while educating myself further. That drive led me to earn my real estate license, and today, I’m a full-time agent with Hardin Realty and Property Management in Sacramento, helping clients buy, sell, and invest. Books taught me to think big, dream big, and take action—and I want to share that inspiration with you! join in the conversation, post wins and successes, share books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and grow your real estate knowledge.  I also host the Sacramento Book Club on Facebook. It's open to anyone anywhere. Search: Sacramento Book Club

This property was challenging and required almost daily visits to ensure no one got in. There were a few attempted break-ins, but being vigilant paid off. We closed escrow about 20 days ago.

I posted in Craigslist and made a public announcement of a new Sacramento Real Estate Book Club. Its under Community, Groups.  This is open to anyone and all ages.  The announcement reads: 

"Come join the Sacramento Real Estate Book Club. Enjoy learning about different types of real estate strategies and techniques with other like minded people.
email me a brief description of your interests in the subject and I will share with you the meeting schedule. All ages welcome."

For now this is an in person book club in a professional office space in Sacramento CA.

If you still want to comment on this thread with any recommendations, feedback, tips, etc, I would be very thankful.

I may expand this club to the Facebook platform in a couple of weeks.

Go to your local real estate meetup/events and find an investor friendly agent. You find the properties and do your underwriting on each property, name your price/offer for the property and tell your agent to send it out. Your agent should have no problem sending out lots of offers.

In Sacramento Ca, I've been able to get sellers to lower their listing price 10k - 15k and get some good terms as well. In certain areas buyers have a lot more leverage. I think it's a good window of opportunity for buyers right now.

I went to a real estate event in Sacramento last night and saw this guest speaker named Matt Aitchison , I never heard of him before but found him to be a very good speaker and informative, he had a ton of good things to say about his experiences as an investor, flipper , wholesaler and his current activities in the commercial real estate business. Its amazing that he is doing business in my local market, Sacramento Ca. I got curious this morning and searched YouTube for any videos he might have online and found him on the Bigger Pockets podcast with Brandon Turner and Josh Dorkin episode 166. I highly recommend you watch this episode , as there is a lot of relevant information on how to grow your real estate investing business. You'll even get to see Brandon Turner without the beard, he actually has a face.:~)

Do you have a favorite BP show episode?   What is it about and why did you like it?
Please share.

I've seen some good opportunities there while working with my wholesaling copilot Rocco Forte-Adragna

Who has formed a real estate investor book club? What activities or services do you offer?

Do you provide books and a place for your members to read at?

If you have ever belonged to a real estate investor book club, what did you like most about it?

I would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on this.
