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.

NCREIA Online Seminar: How to Scale Single Family Homes
·OnlineOnline(Note: RSVPing here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, HERE)
Online Workshop: How to Find, Evaluate, Finance, Manage, and Scale Single Family Homes
with Elizabeth Enright Phillips — Saturday, March 28th, 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Eastern
Most landlords are doing it the hard way.
They’re buying deals that aren’t really deals. They’re financing them wrong. And then they’re managing them reactively—always chasing tenants, maintenance issues, and problems that a good system would have prevented.
Elizabeth Enright Phillips—mother of six, community-changer, and one of the most systemized landlords we know—has built a different kind of single family rental business. She buys strategically (often creatively, without big down payments). She renovates thoughtfully. And she manages her residents through a training program that produces better tenants, fewer headaches, and stronger communities.
On Saturday, March 28th, she’s going to show you the whole system, from finding the right deals off market to scaling without chaos.
You’ll learn:- How to find and negotiate off-market deals like a pro
- How to evaluate properties so you stop chasing the wrong ones
- Financing options, BRRRR strategy, and how to raise funds for your reno
- Her hybrid self-management approach and renter training system
- How to scale your holdings without complicating your life
This is a full-day online workshop. It’s cheap, it’s recorded, and it comes with a satisfaction guarantee.
