Thank you Mr_Investor! I thought I scoured the internet looking for clubs and links! This is a big help.

Hello all!

My name is Rachelle and I live San Francisco. I have lurked on this board and posted here once. I am a recent college grad, have no debt and managed to save $10,000! I plan to save more as I learn more about REI.

I wanted to ask if there were any REI clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, Marin County or Monterey Bay area, or any groups of meetings of that sort that anyone knows of. (and places to find mentors)I have tried looking for REI clubs and I know of the NorCal group that meets in Sacramento, but I was hoping for something a little closer.

Also, as a student of like, 10 years, I was thinking of doing my niche in rental properties for students. I have been to a number of colleges and lived in a number of places so I feel comfortable with that aspect having been a renter of those places myself. We'll see though.

Thoughts, feedback, suggestions?

Hey everyone, thanks for your advice.

I have to admit, I am kind of afraid of just taking the courses, but being too scared to actually act. Signing up for the courses and taking them is my way of getting into this for real.

Also, I see that one of the courses you can elect to take after you have taken some intro classes is a paid, supervised internship course where you work with local real estate people (either at an office, with loan documents etc)...so that would provide me with good contacts.

I am going to continue saving money and enrollment for those classes being next month. I am super excited!

Also, I was hoping to find a mentor or at least a network of people through my associations with these classes.

Hello everyone,
I have always entertained the idea of being a real estate investor, but was a young twenty something who never got it together. To make a long story short, I've managed to save $9,000 don't have any credit card debt and plan to take basic real estate courses at my local community college next semester (real estate basics, the economics of real estate and real estate finance). Does this sound like a good plan?
I say this because I dropped a lot of money on Carlton Sheets in my early 20's and read Rich Dad Poor Dad. That got me going, but didn't give me enough structure or information to get started (I know myself, I need structure). I feel these real estate classes at community college are good because they will give me structure, they will teach me the basics in which I will be quizzed and graded on and they are MUCH cheaper than attending one of those seminars.
I would appreciate some constructive feedback.

Thanks,
Rachelle
