Having buyers is one of the most important part of the real estate wholesaling success equation. One of the quickest ways to meet investors who can later turn into buyers is by attending real estate investment club (REI Club) functions. The fees to join your local real estate investment club will vary, but I can promise you that investment clubs are well worth the money.
To get the most out of attending REI Club functions it will be very important to step out of your shell and meet the other investors in the group.
Here are a few thing to keep in mind when attending your local REI club meetings:
Remember that you have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason.-Try to listen twice as often as you talk. If you have not noticed yet, people love to talk about themselves, so let them.
Don’t try to be right– Even if you here the “Old investing pro” say something wrong, do not jump into correct him. People do not like to be corrected, and will often lash out at you if you try to make them look bad.
Have your success stories ready– Now do not confuse this with bragging, or tooting your own horn. Instead subtly drop your past success stories into the conversation to spark interest. If you have made another investor a lot of money tell that story. Maybe, you have found some great deals for another investor, talk about those great deals.
