What we’re about
This is the San Gabriel Chapter of the Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association ("LAC-REIA"). Founded twenty-six years ago (1996) by the legendary Phyllis Rockower, the Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association (formerly known as the "Los Angeles Real Estate Investors Club”) is the oldest and largest investor group in California. We also have chapters in Orange, Ventura, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, as well as nine Meetup groups. Our mission is to provide: (1) education, (2) networking, and (3) mentoring to real estate investors throughout Southern California.
We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month in Los Angeles. We start at 6:30 pm for our unique Vendor Expo (in our exhibition area). Our general meeting runs from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. We proudly present the finest national and international speakers for in-depth real estate education. Learn from our great speakers and network with fellow investors.
For beginner investors that need special help getting started, we offer our super-duper world-famous Mentoring Program. For our experienced investors, we have our special Gold Membership with their own private meetings and advanced seminars.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- How to Find & Buy ForeclosuresInman Events Center, Los Angeles, CA
Foreclosure Forum. If you’re new to real estate investing, foreclosures are the best place to start. Why? Because there are more foreclosures than any other type of distressed properties and the strategies are easy to learn and apply. Plus foreclosures are increasing every month! If this is you, we’ve got the perfect space to start your journey. Attend our upcoming LIVE In-person “Foreclosure Forum”! At our Forum you will learn everything you need to know to find and buy foreclosures.
Our Foreclosure Forum is scheduled for Saturday, July 27, 2024, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. This Forum is hosted by the Los Angeles County Real Estate Investors Association and the Ventura County Real Estate Investors Association. In this intensive Forum, you will learn how to:
- Understand the note and deed of trust.
- Differentiate between judicial & non-judicial foreclosure.
- Find foreclosures.
- Stop the foreclosure while you negotiate a sale.
- Structure the deals.
- Negotiate with property owners.
- Negotiate with lenders.
- Buy at the Trustee’s sales.
- Buy REOs.
There has NEVER been a more exciting time to become a real estate investor (either full-time or part-time). The market has leveled off, interest rates have spiked, the pandemic-related forbearances and moratoriums are over, and as a result, foreclosures are increasing. Your time is NOW!
Featured Speaker: Our speaker, Lloyd Segal, is "America's Leading Foreclosure Expert," best-selling author of "Foreclosure Investing” and “Stop Foreclosure Now.” Lloyd was the winner of the USA Today Book Award in 2018 for the prestigious "Best Personal Finance Book of the Year" Award. Plus, Lloyd has personally bought and sold numerous foreclosures throughout Southern California. So forget all those silly info-commercials and reality TV shows. Learn from the guy the Wall Street Journal called "One of America's Big Flippers."

- Shared Housing is the Answer!Iman Cultural Center - Community Room, Los Angeles, CA
Shared Housing. Why is “shared housing” on the tip of every smart real estate investor’s tongue? Because: (1) It can triple your cash flow from a traditional rental, (2) Can double the value of your property, (3) Makes an actual impact on the affordable housing shortage, and (4) Can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want it to be. Sound good? Read on…
Enough foolish talk about how the government is going to legislate us out of the affordable housing crisis! Let’s just fix it ourselves, starting with Shared Housing for those who need it. If you want to learn how to make money AND are serious about making an impact in your community, shared housing is the answer. Is shared housing a high-hassle, expensive strategy that’s beyond the reach of the typical real estate investor? Or is shared housing forcing multiple people to crowd into bedrooms and bathrooms? Our special guest speaker, Jason Roberts, says no, no, and no! He’ll be “sharing” his experiences with this very profitable and very impactful strategy with us at our August meeting.
Guest Speaker: At 21 years old Jason opened his first company, a mortgage company, in the spare bedroom of his condo. Within a few years he grew it into the number one rural housing lender in Missouri, with over 100 employees and eventually an 8-figure business. But when the real estate bubble collapsed in 2008, Jason lost everything and was forced to declare bankruptcy. Nevertheless, through sheer determination and mindset, Jason reinvented and reestablished himself as a millionaire within only 12 short months! Jason Roberts is now a world class business and mindset coach whose true expertise is implementing shared housing strategies. So if you have a long-term goal of providing housing for veterans, disabled people, the elderly, recovering addicts, or other deserving groups of people that you’re passionate about, this is the strategy for you. Let Jason show you how to get started now…
