Guide

Getting value from the Polk County Real Estate Investors Association (PCREIA)

The Polk County Real Estate Investors Association (PCREIA) brings together buyers, lenders and service providers in central Florida. However, networking alone rarely fills a deal pipeline.

First, use each meeting to learn local rules, prices and rental demand. Then add a steady source of off-market leads, such as probate and pre-foreclosure filings.

For example, many Polk County homes are inherited by family members who live out of state. As a result, they often prefer a quick and simple sale. In addition, members can share contractors and inspectors who know the area.
