What we’re about
The Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association (formerly known as the "Los Angeles Real Estate Investors Club”) was started 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.

See all- "You Go Girl: Meet Women Who Rock Real Estate"Iman Cultural Center - Community Room, Los Angeles, CA
Women Making Moves (& Money) In Real Estate. Both men and women invest in real estate. But honesty, women have certain “challenges” that men just don’t have to think about. (Men, you may have no clue what we’re referring to, but women know exactly.) So please join us at the Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association monthly meeting, Thursday night, May 9, 2024, 6:30 to 9:30 pm, where you will learn how to confront these challenges and become a successful real estate investor.
Guest Speakers: This month we have a unique panel of four women who are kicking butt in Real Estate? These women have been in the trenches, confronted and conquered challenges, and know how to swing a hammer (though they’ve learned they don’t have to). And that’s what they will share with you. Their stories are as different as their personalities, but they all share two things in common: They are successful at what they do and they earn a good living doing it! Attend and learn what advantages women have when investing in real estate. (Men; you can attend too, but at your own risk.) During this panel discussion, you will learn:
• How to find deals in a changing market
• Meet experts in flipping, short-term rentals & raising money
• How to structure deals with multiple exits strategies in mind
• The key resources to grow your real estate business
• Unlock your full potential as a real estate investor
• Why women are smarter, tougher and better-looking than menPanel Members. Our moderator will be the incomparable Deborah Razo, President of the Women’s Real Estate Network (“WREN”). Deborah specializes in fixing and flipping houses, residential construction, and multi-residential properties in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The panel will also feature Cindy Coleman discussing note investing, Angela Sillmon discussing short-term rentals, and Jen Maldonado discussing raising capital for your projects. All of these successful ladies are members of WREN, a group formed by women investors, for women and about women.

- How to Find & Buy ForeclosuresIman Cultural Center - Community Room, Los Angeles, CA
Foreclosure Forum. If you’re new to real estate investing, foreclosures are the best place to start. Why? Because there are more foreclosures than any other type of distressed properties and the strategies are easy to learn and apply. Plus foreclosures are increasing every month! If this is you, we’ve got the perfect space to start your journey. Attend our upcoming LIVE In-person “Foreclosure Forum”! At our Forum you will learn everything you need to know to find and buy foreclosures.
