About us
Welcome to one of Charlotte’s largest and fastest growing real estate networking clubs!
The North Carolina Real Estate Investor's Association is a Real Estate Investor Association (REIA) dedicated to providing members with:
• Wholesale Real Estate Opportunities
• No Money No Credit Financing Opportunities
• A Network of Local Buyers, Sellers, Service Providers, & Partners
• Best-in-class Local Market Updates, Training, and Mentoring
We currently have thousands of members with chapters in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Wilmington and Charlotte. Our focus is LOCAL North Carolina real estate investing strategies and growing a community of knowledgeable investors.
We focus on promoting our own members and sharing the extensive expertise and knowledge found in our group. Many of our current members have been around for many years and continue to offer advice and support to new investors. There’s a lot of deal pitching that goes on in our meetings. In addition, we share recommendations for everything a new or old investor might need including: electricians, painters, plumbers, septic installers, roofers, builders, contractors, investor friendly realtors, educators, foundation companies, etc.
Our mission is to educate our members and share as much information as we can to help them become successful in their real estate investors by providing the tools for learning and support they need to start and grow their business.
We are a North Carolina real estate association and we only post ‘deals’ and ‘opportunities’ that are related to North Carolina real estate. The discussion board is highly moderated in that NO deals get posted that don’t directly have a relationship to real estate investing in North Carolina. That is a huge differentiator for us. Most members really appreciate not having their email clogged with spam about swamp land in Florida.
Bottom line is we operate a GREAT club and we hope you’ll consider joining.
