Real Estate Investors! What can MREIA membership do for you?
MREIA is NJ’s oldest Real Estate Investors Association. We have been helping our members reach their goals and achieve financial independence since 1982.
Real Estate investing is unique by location. The emphasis for small investors in particular, is to know what is going on in their own market. What is going on in Nebraska has no real day-to-day impact on someone investing in the Garden State.
That is one of the big plusses of being an MREIA Member. Our members are kept up to date on laws, regulations, and changes in the world of New Jersey investing.
Networking with fellow NJ investors can make all the difference. Fellow investors sharing their experiences, tips and ideas, helping one another succeed.
MREIA holds monthly meetings, workshops, zoom meetings, socials events, live Q&A sessions.
In fact, MREIA has over 60 events per year available for our members.
Membership in MREIA (includes at no extra charge), membership in the National Association of Real Estate Investors (NAREIA). MREIA (along with South Jersey REIA ) are the only real estate associations in the Garden State honored to be members of this group.
NAREIA’s mission is to provide Education, Advocacy & P rotection for members. The NAREIA PHP (Professional Housing Provider) designation is one of the highest designations real estate investors can attain.
NAREIA has 40,000 members nationwide, making us a part of the largest real estate investors association in the nation. NAREIA’s is the independent investor our strongest political advocacy, giving a political presence and voice.
