About us
The Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association was founded twenty-six years ago (1996) by the legendary Phyllis Rockower. Our Association 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.
In 2016, Phyllis passed and fellow investor and author Lloyd Segal assumed leadership of LAC-REIA. In his role as President, Lloyd and his team have been busy expanding LAC-REIA events and programs for members and real estate investors. Among our many activities and benefits:
1. Monthly Meetings. We conduct our General Meetings (free) on the second Thursday of every month, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.

Tax Deed Investing
Iman Cultural Center - Community Room, 3376 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA, USJason Porter. The reason Jason Porter connects with his audiences at a deeper level is because… well frankly, he’s lived a pretty “weird” life. He is a surfer who grew up surfing in a pool in Arizona. He graduated High School in Brazil, living eight years outside the United States. He speaks Portuguese and Spanish fluently. He considers himself “Latino de Corazon.” He has been married to Mona, from Samoa, for 33 years and built the first surf resort in her home country. He is an Amazon Best-Selling author who never graduated from college. More significantly, his purpose in investing is greater than money. He advocates socially responsible real estate investing… “doing good while doing well.”
Tax Deed Investing. Jason has been speaking on real estate investing strategies, entrepreneurship, and peak personal performance since 1998. However, his focus since 2008 has been the little understood investing strategy of “Tax Deed Investing.” The amazing thing about tax deeds is that they offer investors the opportunity to invest in real estate cheaper than any other form of acquisition. Jason’s students’ target purchase price is generally 10% to 50% of After Repaired Value (“ARV”). Even in today’s hyper-competitive market, Jason’s students routinely purchase properties for 40 cents on the dollar and below.
Date: Thursday night, April 9, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Location: Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue (between National & Palms), Los Angeles, CA 90034.
