Based on what we are seeing in the market about 75% (rough estimate) of deals are pausing but accruing distributions to LPs and some are even doing capital calls to prevent a default scenario.  

I believe those people who currently run their own groups could benefit (if they cared to hear what investors really want), as could anyone who might be interested in just setting up some kind of local group of their own.I hope people continue to drop by this discussion to share more details about things like club format (what's good and bad), club meeting frequency, agenda, and so on.This thread could really benefit a LOT of people, but we need more folks chiming in with their thoughts.If you've taken the time to read this discussion, please do leave some feedback.I started this thread because I think things need to change at real estate clubs, and hoped we could stimulate ways to do that.

We are usually on the sponsor side of a deal but are simple LPs in a few syndications as well so I have a little bit of a unique perspective.
