This is the 50th episode of the podcast. The REITE Club was founded 3 years ago to bring people together to provide education on real estate investing. There were also no clubs of really great value that were in the Burlington/Hamilton region. 

This episode dives into how The REITE Club got started and how the founders met each other and where it is going. There were only 101 attendees at the first event and now there are over 200 attendees.

The REITE Club is a great resource for attendees as there are accountants, lawyers, contractors, insurance brokers etc. in the room and there are various stages of investors from just getting started to investors who have done $10 million dollar development deals.

The mission statement for The REITE Club is “Come Grow With Us” and because of this, there have been many friendships and networks built just by being a part of the club. 

In this episode learn about: 
– How The REITE Club got started
– The growth of The REITE Club
