Ohio Real Estate Investment Associations

The National Real Estate Investors Association (National REIA) is the largest network of local real estate investor associations in the United States. With over 120 local chapters and 40,000 members, we provide education, networking, and advocacy for real estate investors nationwide.

Established in 1976, the Greater Cincinnati REIA is one of the nation's oldest continuously operating real estate investor organizations. With 950+ active members, the association provides comprehensive education on Ohio and Kentucky landlord-tenant law, investment strategies for the bi-state Cincinnati metro, and market intelligence for one of the Midwest's most active investment markets.

Mid-Ohio REIA serves Columbus and surrounding Central Ohio investor community. Columbus is one of America's fastest-growing major cities with Ohio State University, a booming tech scene, and Intel's massive chip fab investment driving unprecedented housing demand. Monthly meetings and quarterly expos.

Cleveland REIA is dedicated to helping investors thrive in Northeast Ohio's robust rental market. Cleveland consistently ranks as one of the top cash flow markets in the nation.

REIA of Greater Cincinnati serves the tri-state area spanning Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Cincinnati is home to National REIA headquarters and has one of the Midwest's most active investor communities. The city's affordable prices, strong employment base, and landlord-friendly Hamilton County make it a perennial favorite.

Great Lakes REIA serves investors across the Great Lakes region with a home base in Northeast Ohio. Cleveland's rust belt revival, Cleveland Clinic employment hub, and some of the nation's lowest price-to-rent ratios make it a consistent top-10 cash flow market. We also cover Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo markets.

ACREIA is Northeast Ohio's premier real estate investor organization, founded in 1985. Serving investors in Akron, Canton, and surrounding Summit and Stark counties, ACREIA provides expert education, deal sharing, and networking for investors in some of Ohio's most affordable and cash-flow-positive markets.

Great Lakes REIA serves the Cleveland metro investment community. Founded in 2011, the association provides education on Ohio landlord-tenant law, Cleveland's evolving neighborhood investment landscape, and strategies for investors in Northeast Ohio's diverse real estate market — from the revitalizing urban core to the established eastern and western suburbs.

GDREIA has served the Dayton investment community since 1980. Dayton's combination of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base military demand, University of Dayton student housing, and exceptional affordability make it one of Ohio's strongest cash-flow markets. Monthly meetings provide local market education and networking for investors throughout the Miami Valley.

REIA of Toledo serves Northwest Ohio investors in the Glass City and surrounding communities. Toledo's extremely affordable housing market paired with strong rental demand from the University of Toledo, Owens Community College, and manufacturing sector makes it a top cash flow market.
