About us
The Real Estate Investors Association of Greater Cincinnati (BKA REIAGC) is the tri-state area's original (established 1976!), largest (950 members and counting!) and most excited (you can tell from all the exclamation points!) community of real estate entrepreneurs.
We're new and experienced landlords, flippers, creative finance fans, wholesalers, retailers, lease/option fans, note buyers, lenders, and more...and we meet together to share resources, ideas, education, and inspiration.
If you're a big-pie person who knows that other people's success doesn't detract from yours, and you value hard-core education and advice from experienced local, regional and national experts, and you know that financial independence, like everything else worth having, requires hard work, and you're an ethical, prosperity-minded person, we welcome you!
Our general meetings, on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, are open to the public; you can find the topic and download a free guest pass anytime at www.CincinnatiREIA.com.
We also host focus groups for members only on wholesaling, retailing, note buying, passive investing, creative buying and selling, landlording, investing in apartments, issues for women investors, and more; information is also available at www.CincinnatiREIA.com.
If you're serious about real estate investing, and want local, no B.S. information and inspiration to start or grow your own business or portfolio, you've found the right place. Join us for our next meeting!

Cincinnati Chapter Meeting: Your Foreclosure Deal Machine
Holiday Inn Cincinnati North, 5800 Mulhauser Road, West Chester, oh, US[Note: Registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you need to go to our website, HERE.]
We’re the Cincinnati area’s biggest and longest-running real estate community for a reason: month after month, since 2011, we’ve been connecting you to the people and information you need to start or grow your own real estate investing business.
This month, we’re doing that by focusing on one of the hottest opportunities in the market today: foreclosures.
Most investors think foreclosure opportunities begin at the sheriff's sale.
The truth is, most of the best deals are long gone by then.
Investors who consistently buy profitable properties understand something many others don't: the foreclosure process creates opportunities long before the auction ever happens. If you know where homeowners are in the process—and how to approach them—you can help solve their problems while building a stronger investing business.
That matters more than ever today.
With more homeowners struggling under higher payments and rising living costs, the number of distressed sellers is growing. The investors who understand this market will have more opportunities than those waiting for bank-owned properties to hit the MLS.
At this month's meeting, we'll show you how to find those opportunities, and what to do with them once you’ll find them
You’ll get practical advice about:
- How the foreclosure process in Ohio even works, and where you can jump in as an investor, and how
- Finding motivated sellers before the competition
- Approaching homeowners with confidence and compassion
- Overcoming common objections
- Building a steady pipeline of foreclosure opportunities
Whether you're looking for your first deal or your next fifty, you'll leave with practical ideas you can begin putting to work immediately.
And don't overlook one of the biggest benefits of every REIAGC meeting: the other people in the room.
Your next lender, buyer, contractor, mentor, or business partner could be sitting at your table.

How to Build a 6-Figure Real Estate Business Helping Sellers in Foreclosure
Crown Plaza at 6500 Doubletree Avenue Columbus, OH 43229, Crowne Plaza Worthington 6500 Doubletree Avenue, Columbus, OH, US[Note: Registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To reserve your seat, please register on our website, HERE.]
Most investors think foreclosure opportunities begin at the auction.
The truth is, by then, many of the best opportunities have already passed.
The real opportunity is in pre-foreclosure, when homeowners still have options, investors can actually see the property before buying it, and everyone has a chance to create a solution that benefits both the seller and the investor.
And that’s becoming more important than ever.As more homeowners struggle with rising housing costs and financial pressure, investors who understand pre-foreclosures will have opportunities that simply aren’t available once a property reaches the auction or becomes bank-owned.
But succeeding in pre-foreclosures takes more than sending postcards or making offers. You need to understand what homeowners are experiencing, how to communicate with them, and how to structure deals that truly solve their problems.
That’s exactly what Dwan & Bill Twyford will teach during this intensive two-day workshop.
With more than 80 years of combined real estate investing experience, they’ve built successful businesses by helping homeowners in pre-foreclosure while creating profitable deals through subject-to investing, short sales, creative financing, and other proven strategies.
During this two-day workshop, you’ll learn:
• How to successfully market to homeowners in pre-foreclosure
• What to say when you first talk with sellers—including real-world conversation scripts
• Strategies for working with sellers who have substantial equity
• How to negotiate profitable short sales when little or no equity exists
• Subject-To investing and other creative financing techniques
• Multiple exit strategies for pre-foreclosure deals
• How to build a business that consistently
generates leads instead of constantly chasing themWhether you’re buying your first investment property or building a full-time investing business, you’ll leave with practical systems and strategies you can begin using immediately.
