What we’re about
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!
We welcome your questions at (513) 407-3137 or via email at info@CincinnatiREIA.com.

See all- Online Masterclass: How to Create and Use Your Own Land TrustNeeds location
(Note: You can’t get your link to this class here; you have to register on our website, which is HERE)
You’ve probably heard of land trusts.
You may have even been told you should be using them.
But if you’re like most investors, your understanding stops somewhere between “I think they’re for privacy? Or maybe subject to deals?” and “Wait… are they even legal where I invest?”
This online masterclass will finally give you the plain-English, real-world education you need to start using land trusts the right way—for privacy, flexibility, and creative dealmaking.
Your guide is Todd Van Meter, a 30-year real estate veteran, homebuilder, and landlord who’s been teaching other investors about land trusts since before the internet was a thing.
He’s not an attorney—he’s a highly experienced investor who’s been successfully using land trusts for decades and knows how to explain them in a way YOU will understand, even if you’re brand new. Even if you’ve been confused by them before.
Here’s just some of what Todd will clear up:
-
What a land trust is (and what it isn’t)—how it’s created, what makes it different from other trusts, and how it’s NOT some government-registered entity
-
The key players: grantor, beneficiary, trustee—and what they each actually do
-
How bad documents can really mess you up…like make your property practically un-sellable
-
The tax realities of land trusts: no EIN needed, but that doesn’t mean there are no taxes—here’s how it really works
-
Who actually owns the property in a land trust (spoiler: it’s not the trust!)
-
How to choose (and control) your trustee—so they don’t go rogue...and what happens if your trustee dies, disappears, or just won’t cooperate
-
What happens when you’re the trustee AND the beneficiary
-
What land trusts don’t do: they’re not bulletproof asset protection, not lawsuit shields, and not invisible to the IRS
-
The awesome use cases beyond privacy—including how they make partnerships, creative deals, and title transfers WAY easier,
Whether you’re just getting started with land trusts or already trying to use them and confused, this workshop will save you months or years of trial and error—and probably thousands of dollars in bad legal advice.
Yes, the workshop will be recorded—and you’ll get access to the recording even if you can’t attend live (but only if you’re registered, of course!)
And it’s SUPER-affordable: Just $47 for members by May 8th / $67 after
