Your local REIA enables you to become part of a larger community of investors who share your passion and vision, with connections and resources to support you legally, should the need arise. PARTNERSHIP Another benefit of finding your tribe is the chance to network with like-minded professionals. You can meet people who have similar goals and challenges as you do and who can offer you advice, support, referrals, or partnerships. You can also meet people who can provide you with valuable services
(e.g., contractors, agents, lenders, attorneys, accountants, inspectors, appraisers, and more). Building long- term relationships with these kinds of people and leveraging their expertise is a great way to grow your business. Entrepreneurs are very capable by nature, but everyone can use help from time to time. Some investors have the time and energy, but not the resources. Some have the resources, but not the time. Finding a connection with someone who has assets you might lack presents an opportunity to build a partnership that benefits both parties. Truly successful people never stop learning or seeking opportunities
to develop themselves. Regardless of what type of investor you are, do your future self a favor and get more connected with those in your field who have been where you want to go. You never know who might want to partner with you to help get you there. •
