What we’re about
Our motto: Dedicated to the Art of Real Estate Investing and Helping Our Members Achieve Success!
Tired of the ups and downs of the stock market?
Are you looking to achieve financial security for you and your family?
Real Estate is the greatest wealth builder in the United States. More fortunes have been made through real estate investing than any other business. The time has come for you to build your own success story.
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.
Our annual membership is only $199.00 which includes our monthly meetings from January through November, incredible benefits such as the Home Depot Discount Program, discounts from local and national businesses and our monthly newsletter, “The Metro.”
Some of recent topics covered have been:
Creating Positive Cash Flow,

Successful Landlording Tricks,
Using Options to Build your Real Estate Empire,
And much, much more
