Please consider joining the Western Mass REI Association and network with local real estate investors.

Make sure you check out all the Real Estate Investment Associations we have here as well as the meetup groups. 

I am a Indianapolis investor and Associate Broker.

I let it lapse when I bought and owned a business for 20 years that had nothing to do with real estate because I didn't think I would ever need it again and didn't want to keep up with the continuing education, fees, e&o insurance and other associated costs.While I have no reason to get one again now, looking back, I should have kept it going. 

That may be the cost of the course, but that surely won't include the state and national tests, the background check, MLS access, membership in any of the Realtor's Associations, etc.I wrote a post for the BP Blog about the costs associated with getting your license.

There seems to be a greater status associated with multi-family vs SFH.

I belong to a local RE investment association and do it through them.

Check out the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association for local education and networking.

A condo appeals to me because of not needing to deal with some the shared maintenance and the lower price point, but I’ve also heard that the association fees dig into cash flow.I’d love to hear from anyone in the area that has had success with a certain type of rental.
