This is the San Gabriel Chapter of the *Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association ("LAC-REIA"*). Founded twenty-six years ago (1996) by the legendary Phyllis Rockower, the Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association (formerly known as the "*Los Angeles Real Estate Investors Club*”) is the oldest and largest investor group in California. We also have chapters in Orange, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, as well as nine Meetup groups. Our mission is to provide: (1) education, (2) networking, and (3) mentoring to real estate investors throughout Southern California.
We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month in Los Angeles. We start at 6:30 pm for our unique *Vendor Expo* (in our exhibition area). Our general meeting runs from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. We proudly present the finest national and international speakers for in-depth real estate education. Learn from our great speakers and network with fellow investors.
For beginner investors that need special help getting started, we offer our super-duper world-famous *Mentoring Program*. For our experienced investors, we have our special *Gold Membership* with their own private meetings and advanced seminars.
