Donna Londot
AZREIA is a wealth of information and they are so helpful when starting my investment portion of my real estate company. And it’s great to have someone right in your own state to talk to and run ideas or scenarios by, too. You gave me the expectations I should have with real estate investing. Thanks Mike and your team at AZREIA.
Jose Miller
I love AZREIA! For me, the subgroups are the best! It took me a while to settle on what part of real estate investing I wanted to be a part of and the subgroups allowed me to ask both beginner and very detailed questions to people that were happy to share their knowledge. I like how they've expanded to include more business partners, because I know that those partners are vetted and worry about their reputation inside of AZREIA.
Tony Simuel
I have been attending the AZREIA meetings for several months, it is amazing the amount of information you get from this organization. The networking alone is worth the membership because you will always find what you are looking for to make deals or to learn about how to make deals. Most importantly it gives you the courage to jump in the waters and play!
