At MREIA we are serious about real estate investing. We are the oldest real estate investing association in New Jersey, dating back to 1982. We are also NJ’s largest non-profit volunteer run association, as well as a charter member of the National Real Estate Investors Association (NAREIA).
Networking among our members is the heart and soul of MREIA. Many of our members have been with us for 20-30 years and are happy to assist newcomers to the wonderful world of real estate investing in reaching their goals and aspirations.
Our monthly meetings are full of real world, nuts and bolts up to date information that you need to succeed. We Do NOT recommend expensive overpriced “boot camps” and mentoring programs that cost thousands of dollars.

RSVP hereThe number of listing has risen dramatically in the last 6 months, in some cases up 30-40% from the same period last year.
That means opportunity time.At MREIA we have spent the last 5 years preparing you for the changing tide, now it is time for you to take what you have learned, the skills plus the techniques and get out there and make deals!
For years, sellers have enjoyed the upper hand. Competitive offers, rising prices, and limited inventory made it tough for buyers to find the right deal. But as the market slowly changes, new opportunities may be emerging for buyers and real estate investors.
What does this changing market mean for YOU?
- Where are the opportunities?
- You can you negotiate better terms.
- What about distressed properties?
- Determining if a Sellers is motivated.
This mastermind is designed to help you grow as an investor through shared knowledge, collaboration, and actionable insights. Come prepared to learn, share, and elevate your investing strategy.

Featured Speaker:
Ron Odom
Ron Odom has been investing in real estate since 1996, buying, remodeling, selling, leasing and managing single-family homes throughout South Jersey. In 2009, the Camden City Housing Authority named him Landlord of the Year for providing outstanding housing to Section 8 families across Camden County. He also has deep experience using land trusts for asset protection.
Ron is a longtime real estate educator and consultant to both new and seasoned investors. He’s the author of Killer Profits Wholesaling Real Estate, a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide to wholesaling in any market.
In 2023, Ron began building artificial intelligence software to run his own 30-door rental portfolio. AI bots answer his calls, prescreen tenants, book showings, handle maintenance requests and collect rent. That system became Landlord Snapshot, and its companion, the Landlord Acquisition System, finds and analyzes new deals. Together they save Ron at least 140 hours a month. Tonight he’ll show you how the same tools can give you back your time, whether you own one rental property or a hundred.Note: This MREIA's North Jersey meeting is IN PERSON ONLY--no Zoom/Simulcast. This meeting is free for MREIA members and also free and open to the public.
