When you are interest in making an investment such as a real estate investment
, for example you want to be able to talk to as many people that are "in the know" as possible. This may be more so in the case for individuals that are just starting out in this type of investment but it is applicable to any realty investor. This is what makes the Metropolitan Real Estate Investors Association a real asset. This is a group that has been formed specifically for those interested in the investment of real estate.
It is a New Jersey based group and is a not-for-profit group. Their mandate is to be seen as a resource overall for realty investment. Being as real estate investment is not a new concept neither is the association. In fact, it dates way back to 1982 with a slightly different name. It is open to conjecture whether at this time this was a formal group or whether just a bunch of real estate investor enthusiasts just getting together to share information in common about real estate. In 1985, some old newsletters belonging to this organization surfaced and this was the first evidence of the Metropolitan Real Estate Investors association being a structured group. Although it was then known as Northern New Jersey Real Estate Investors Club, Inc. (N.N.J.R.E.I.C., Inc.). At that, time from a mere membership of twenty it swiftly grew to in excess of five hundred.
It is important to know the background of any association that you may be thinking of joining but perhaps more so when it comes to investments. There is money involved here and what you learn and share within the association can have a direct impact on your way of thinking when it comes to your real estate investments.
Although reading material and industry magazines are a valuable resource as well when it comes to realty investments in many ways organizations such as this one are perhaps more valuable in the sense that open discussions can be had by way of attending the regular meetings. Here you can depend on the expertise of a completely diversified group of individuals who perhaps have keen interests and knowledge in specific sectors of the realty investment portfolio.
It makes it most enjoyable when you can share your thoughts and concepts about something that is important to you with a group that has the same interests. It is often difficult to talk about investments with others that are not involved in the same venues as you because they lack the knowledge and quite often the interest in the subject. That is why belonging to a group such as the Metropolitan Real Estate Investors association such a beneficial one.
