A Word from Our Members...

"I have been a MnREIA member for about a year now. I heard about it from my loan officer. I consider myself a successful real estate investor and feel this is a great place to find good potential investment properties."



Liz Loveless
MnREIA Member Since 2022

"I looked up my local REIA group to find a local resource for continuing to learn about real estate investing after kicking off my first STR in Florida. I like the relevant topics although I heavily focused on local investing and long-term rentals which are not relevant to me yet. I appreciate the recordings of meetings I'm not able to attend in person, which have been most of the summer. I would love more training in evaluating properties as the market continues to shift, making offers and how to be creative, creative borrowing and how to ensure the best deal. I appreciated learning about land trusts which are all the buzzes."

Kari Hendlin
MnREIA Member Since March 2023

"I joined in 2004! The gurus said join a local REIA! Mike runs an awesome group here! Networking and education!"

Kevin Meissner
Elk River, MN
MnREIA Member

"I first heard about MnREIA by googling it. I enjoy attending structured events. I have learned a lot about subject to, lease options, and rent to own. The content that is taught, the training, and the networking keep me coming back. I would love more in-depth training on marketing tactics, wholesaling, and writing subject to offers. Learning how to find deals in The Hidden Market with Tony Youngs has helped me to become a successful real estate investor. Advice I would give to someone that is on the fence about joining MnREIA……you need to try it out for a year, get involved, and be part of this great community!"

Andrew Eisenhart
MnREIA Member Since October 2022

"Through the education I have received through MnREIA I have successfully rehabbed and sold (all in less than 2 weeks!) several investment properties. I am now buying and holding properties, selling them on lease options. I love MnREIA and invite everyone I know and meet!"

Jackie Constantine
Webster, MN
MnREIA Member Since 2010

"I took a course called "The Flipping Formula". They recommended that I look up a local REIA to find investors who also wholesale. I went to the internet and found MnREIA. The rest is history. I like the format of the meetings, the market update, the haves and wants, as well as the monthly speakers. I find it very helpful that a diverse set of speakers is presented as I believe there is no one speaker who is best for everyone. I like that there really are others like me in this business! I also learned that there is more than one way to invest in real estate. If I keep learning and meeting new people, I plan to stay! Although life and medical problems have kept me too busy to have had any successes yet, I have learned some valuable topics like: Multiple offers, Creative Financing, and Tony Youngs "Hidden Market." I have only two tips, join and come to the meetings. Okay, a third one also, talk to people at the meetings! Also, it wouldn't hurt you to say thanks to Mike now and then because he does a lot of work to make MnREIA so worthwhile!"


Donald Kramber
MnREIA Member Since 2013

"I heard about MnREIA from Hmong Wealth Builders online. I like the fact that MnREIA is very open, and they make you feel very welcome. I have learned about ARV and other abbreviations people use when investing since joining MnREIA. I appreciate that the people of MnREIA are very open-minded, and they share a lot of their good and bad experiences. I would appreciate more training on getting out of my comfort zone and taking some risks. I finally learned what wholesalers do and how they find properties. Some tips I would share with new investors would be: if the numbers are right, invest. Don’t wait for a good investment, go look for one. Networking makes life easier when looking for help. Keep coming to MnREIA even though (some of) the training is the same every month, you’ll grow faster."

Kookie Kong
MnREIA Member since 2023

"I have been a member of MnREIA since 2021. I heard about this group through my partner, Nene Matey-Keke. I like the networking and training I receive through MnREIA and learning different real estate investing strategies. I enjoy building relationships with other members and learning about real estate investing. I would like to learn more about wholesaling and buying properties subject to. Learning how to calculate estimates for rehab repairs and ARV has helped me become a successful real estate investor. If you’re serious about investing in real estate, then you have to become a member of the best association with all the resources you need."

Regina Ramos
MnREIA Member since 2001

"I joined MnREIA in 2015 because it was highly advised by my mentor at Advanced Real Estate Education. My goals when I joined were to acquire properties to rehab and to invest in other real estate investors projects and now my goals are to basically acquire properties to fix and flips and retire by 2025. I have paid for the following training outside of MnREIA - Advanced Real Estate Education totaling $77,000.00. I continue to be a part of MnREIA because I can continue to stay educated in the field of real estate. The best advice I can give to someone who isn’t ready to join as a member is to stay in touch with the person that invited you and see if what you have to offer can make yourself and the organization stronger. MnREIA is valuable to me because I can learn from others and now know where I can turn for the quality assistance, I need to complete my projects."


Dalal "D" Ahmad
MnREIA Ambassador & Real Estate Investor
MnREIA Member Since 2015

"We became members just after live meetings resumed in February 2021. We heard about MnREIA several years before that when Bill was a licensed realtor. In 2021, we connected with a member who encouraged us to be a part of the group to promote me (Valerie) as a mortgage loan officer. We love the education, resources, leadership, and connections we have made with other investors through MnREIA. Mike’s market analysis is very informative, and we have had many opportunities to use and that share information. We are proud members of MnREIA and use our membership for credibility when talking to buyers and sellers. If you are on the fence about joining MnREIA, know that MnREIA is a one-stop shop for all the tools you need to be successful in real estate investing."


Valerie and Bill Koski
Proud MnREIA Members since 2021

"Listen, there are a lot of classes and gurus that ask for thousands of dollars for memberships. We tried some of them as well. MNREIA is THE BEST; you get so much networking and classes, and monthly membership is affordable to EVERYBODY. If you are a beginner: there is no better place to start. If you cannot make enough to cover the small cost of a MNREIA membership from real estate, then real estate is not for you. In this case at least you are not going to lose thousands of dollars to figure it out.

August 2025 Special Workshop:
The "Hidden" Market with Tony Youngs!

Learn 7 ways to profit with Foreclosures & the “Hidden Market

In every neighborhood, there are people who are going thru a divorce, loss of job, death of a loved one, getting transferred, or having financial troubles, or filing bankruptcy. Most of these folks need to sell their house but don’t have the time or money to fix it up or clean it up to put it on the market. They don’t even realize that investors would buy their homes with cash in as-is condition.

How do we find out who these people are? That is what Saturday’s class is all about. Tony Youngs has put together an all day class to teach you how to find these people so you can get an exceptional deal.

It’s called the “Hidden Market”. Tony Youngs is the master of the Hidden Market and will be teaching this class. He will show you  every possible way to find these folks and how you will become really good at finding great deals. Here are some of the situations you will find in the hidden Market.

  • Bankruptcy
  • Foreclosure
  • Divorce
  • Probate
  • Code enforcement

In this event, you learn about Subject to, owner financing, probate, bankruptcy, absentee owners, landlording and every creative way to buy real estate. In this class Tony will teach you how to find 30 houses per week with no for sale signs, in your own backyard to apply those techniques. Each week you will find all of those situations.

The market is so competitive, you will be taught how to make consistent monthly income no matter how much experience you currently have. Make plans to attend this one of a kind training session.

Tony Youngs knocks on 40 doors per month and will teach you how to build rapport with any kind of personality you may encounter.
