The Chicago Area Real Estate Investors Association (Chicago Area REIA or CAREIA) is an ambitious group of people who invest in real estate located throughout the Chicagoland area. We are a not-for-profit group. We are also members of the National Real Estate Investors Association (National REIA). What this means is that we are supported and surrounded by a much larger group. Whether you’re contemplating your first investment, growing with the challenges of the current real estate environment, or are a seasoned investor ready to share your experience, WE NEED YOU AS MUCH AS YOU NEED US! We all can achieve financial independence through real estate investing when we come together in this mutually supportive association.
