National Speakers
At least twice a year you have the opportunity to hear nationally known speakers addressing key aspects of real estate investing and describing how they achieved success. Members receive a discount.
Saturday Intensive Seminars
Once or twice a month, you will have a special opportunity to spend a half day learning about investing. Past seminars have included topics from a wide variety of subjects including “How to Use a Financial Calculator,” “How to Negotiate Deals,” “Tax Strategies,” “Landlord-Tenant Relationships,” “Buying and Selling Mobile Homes” and many others. The information you gain from a single seminar can be worth your whole membership fee - and more! Members receive a discount.

- Beginning Investors/Case Studies
- Advanced Investors (must meet certain criteria to participate)

All focus groups are free to CREIA and Upstate CREIA members only. A full list is available here on the CREIANC.org website by looking at the Calendar of Events. All Focus Groups meet virtually, with some also meeting in person (hybrid format) in and around Asheville, NC.
