New Jersey Investors Club Has Social Side

New Jersey Garden State Real Estate Investor Association (GSREIA) members not only meet to discuss real estate investing issues, but also enjoy the social side together.

GSREIA also hosts special engagements such as the Yearly Winter Skiing Retreat, and Semi-Annual Rehab Bus Tour, the National REIA Annual Cruise, and the Yearly Christmas Celebration.

The next event for GSREIA members is the Rehab Bus Tour in October 2006. During the trip GSREIA members will visit 3 to 4 homes in various stages of rehab. They will learn to estimate repairs and financially analyze properties to help gain financial independence through your rehab profits.

Each month GSREIA features a number of local and national guest speakers hosting seminars that include Short Sales, Note Buying, Foreclosures, Accounting for Investors, Property Management and more.

GSREIA hosts national and local speakers during monthly general meetings, weekly LIVE Conference Calls and during special All Day Workshops.

GSREIA and New Members

New Member Orientation is an event that the GSREIA Board and volunteers offer to help new members get started. It is a full day event. Prospective new members will learn about the benefits offered by the association and how to best use it for real estate investment. During the orientation, the Board, volunteers and experienced members present various aspects of real estate investment, including lease options, rehabbing, financing, asset protection, estate planning and more. This is to give new members a brief overview of what is available. Each attendee is provided a new member binder, which includes information and forms.
