What we’re about
Are you someone who understands the potential of real estate as an investment but you need more information about what to do, or more importantly what not to do?
Maybe you have tried some other real estate clubs but found them to be:
Too ‘high-level’
Full of sales pitches
Too expensive
Unfriendly to new investors
We think we have seen all of this and so wanted to provide an alternative Meetup group that is fun, inexpensive and full of structured education in a fun, friendly and relaxed atmosphere!
With that in mind, we have set-up the Synergy Real Estate Network!
For each month we will discuss a new topic. Everything from choosing a strategy to financing, building your real estate team to managing a property. Don't worry if you miss one month - we will try to make them all as independent as possible!
Overall, we are here to network, have fun and to provide some education and guidance to people who are thinking of getting into real estate investing, particularly in our local markets (yes, you can make money in real estate in the Lower Mainland!). We will also discuss investments in the USA and out of province. Please don't attend this meeting if you are just coming to pitch your deals or business - that is not what we are aiming for.
If you want to learn a little more about ethical, simple and rewarding real estate investing – we would love to meet you! We promise that the value you receive will be worth many times more than the money and time you invest with us. It will be educational and entertaining! Whoever said investing can't be fun and profitable have not attended our group yet!
Sign up for the group now and receive access to other clubs in the near future.
With your help, we aspire to develop our clubs into one of the best real estate investment network in Canada!
Come, join us in creating a better future for you and your family today!
