AZREIA: America’s Best REIA, Celebrating 23 Years of Empowering Arizona Investors
by Michael Del Prete, AZREIA Executive Director
This year, at the National REIA Conference in New Orleans, AZREIA was honored as the Best Real Estate Investors Association in the country, chosen from more than 200 REIAs nationwide.
That recognition did not happen by chance. It is the result of more than two decades of doing what we do best: empowering Arizona’s investors to grow, serve, and give back.
What Is the National REIA and Why It Matters
The National Real Estate Investors Association (National REIA) is the leading trade organization for real estate investor associations across the United States. Its mission is to promote ethical investing, protect property rights, and provide education that strengthens both investors and their communities.
AZREIA is proud to be the official accredited chapter for the state of Arizona, representing our members with integrity and setting the standard for professional, responsible investing.
What We Do and Why It Matters
Since 2002, AZREIA has helped thousands of Arizonans take control of their financial futures through real estate investing. Our mission is simple and powerful:
To provide education, market information, support, and networking opportunities that help investors succeed.
Members enjoy access to:
Monthly meetings in Phoenix and Tucson featuring Arizona’s top educators and market experts.
Hands-on training for every level of investor, from beginner to advanced.
Networking and mentorship with trusted professionals, lenders, and contractors.
Exclusive benefits, including Home Depot partnerships that return over $1 million annually to AZREIA members.
A thriving online community where investors collaborate, learn, and share opportunities.
But our mission extends beyond profit. As real estate professionals, we carry a responsibility to Arizona’s citizens to provide safe, clean, and affordable housing. Every home improved and every family served strengthens the neighborhoods where we live and work.
A Legacy 23 Years Strong
This November 10 marks 23 years of AZREIA.More than two decades of education, empowerment, and ethical investing.
We will celebrate Monday night, November 10, at Venue 8600, with an Anniversary Celebration and Charity Drive supporting Maggie’s Place, a nonprofit serving women and children in need. The evening will feature dozens of raffle giveaways, dynamic networking, and a heartfelt reflection on the community that made AZREIA the home for Arizona’s real estate investors.
Through every market cycle, our members have continued to thrive, not through speculation, but through community, consistency, and contribution.
As Arizona’s accredited chapter of the National REIA, AZREIA remains committed to leading with integrity and purpose helping investors succeed while improving lives across our state.
Here’s to 23 years of excellence, and to every investor who believes in doing good while doing well.
Here’s to Arizona’s future, built stronger together.
Happy Investing,
Michael Del Prete
