Getting real value from GDREIA meetings

Know your buy box. Walk in with your criteria settled: the Dayton-area neighborhoods, house styles, and top price that fit your next purchase.
Bring deals or questions. A contract you need help with or a pointed question gives other GDREIA members a reason to remember you.
Meet the service providers. Ask the lenders, title companies, and contractors at GDREIA how they work, since one of them may handle your next closing or rehab.
Follow up within a week. Send a note or make a call within a few days, before the contacts from that meeting go cold.

Guide

Finding Greater Dayton real estate deals before the crowd

Greater Dayton real estate still offers prices that many coastal investors cannot find at home. However, the best local deals rarely reach the MLS.

First, use GDREIA meetings to learn which neighborhoods are rising. Then pair that local insight with off-market leads, such as probate and pre-foreclosure filings.

For example, an inherited house in a stable area may need only light repairs. In addition, local members can point you to reliable contractors and property managers. As a result, you can act quickly when the right lead appears.

FAQ

GDREIA: FAQ

What is a REIA?

REIA is short for real estate investors association, a local organization like GDREIA where investors meet to network, keep learning, and find deals.

How do I join GDREIA?

GDREIA sets its own membership levels and schedule, and both can change, so check its official website first.

Which channels bring deals to GDREIA members?

Most deals come from three places: relationships built at meetings, wholesalers who send contracts to their buyer lists, and off-market seller leads such as probate and pre-foreclosure records. Combining all three gives a Dayton investor more than one way to find the next house.
