While we have offered several Saturday workshops for the past 20 years, this past October we have partnered with REIA groups across the nation to be able to bring you on average 2 weekend Master Classes every month. Mostly taught online, this gives you the ability to attend from anywhere.
It’s crucial to have knowledge about the particular real estate path you choose, the ability to apply that knowledge effectively, and to build relationships in your real estate investing community. We have partnered with Vena Jones-Cox & Express Success helps you put all the pieces together.

AFTER HOURS
MEMBER EVENTS FACEBOOK FORUM
Lots of relationship building happens at the meeting after the meeting. We lost this informal time with friends during COVID. They are back and better than ever at our new meeting location at the Double Tree. After the monthly meeting connect with friends over food and beverages with no agenda.
Our members are looking to connect with you and help you succeed. From local Landlord Groups, Regional Networking, Master Minds and a few online, you are sure to find a few more times a month to make connections. We have all these events posted for your convenience on our calendar
The MAREI Facebook Group started as a way for a few members to chat online about who to call for products and services. We started sharing deals with local and out of area investors. And today we also ask for how to help and discuss the issues. Won’t you join us online and talk real estate and to conduct business.
