Start A Real Estate Investment Club

Real estate investment clubs are non-profit organizations where investors join together to buy real estate properties and make joint investments.

Real Estate Investment clubs can work on 2 models: free to join for all or charge an annual fee, which would be less than a few hundred dollars. Every Real Estate Investment club should offer knowledge about different investment practices, how to advertise a service or a business, networking with fellow professionals in the real estate industry, etc.

To start a real estate club, you should consider the following points:

  1. Conduct market research and reach out to people who already have expertise in this field
  2. Attend meetings and find out how other clubs operate.
  3. Familiarize yourself with real estate laws and current market conditions.
  4. Once you decide your mission, start recruiting people and promoting your club

Investing in real estate can be a big step. Hence, it is always beneficial to form a partnership and find the best deal. Ideally, a club may charge between $50 to $150 per year.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a real estate investment club:

Rachel Hernandez, founder of Adventures in Mobile Homes, came up with the idea for her business after becoming burnt-out as a landlord and deciding to sell her real estate portfolio. She read a book on mobile home investing and was drawn to the idea of being the bank rather than a landlord. Her first sale was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath mobile home that she bought for $3,600 and sold for $10,000, receiving her initial investment back within the first year. Since then, Rachel has built a successful business with a steady stream of passive income and plans to expand by buying land and moving mobile homes onto it.
