Skeptical At First – Now 8 Years Later It’s Truly The Highlight of My Month!
I started coming to Durham REI meetings 8 years ago, and thought it was a good networking spot, but I wasn’t sure how much I would learn. It is truly the highlight of my month! I get education, networking, and hearing speaker’s new ideas and thoughts. Last year, I bought 3 properties by December, as I had people at Durham REI meetings tell me a hadn’t bought in a while. I recommend attending DurhamREI meetings, all the time.
