For 50 years, Cincinnati REIA has always been about getting our members the best, most relevant information in the business—so you can make smarter decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and actually succeed in today's market.
And, as always, we're helping you deal with the market as it is TODAY.
'Cause it changed—and FAST.
What worked even 12–24 months ago? Doesn't work the same now.
Deals that used to pencil… don't.
And sadly, a lot of what's being taught online is outdated—or flat-out wrong.
That's why we're breaking this meeting into two parts:
First, a no-hype, nothing for sale, real-world look at wholesaling as it actually works today.
Then, real investors walking you through real creative deals—how they found them, structured them, and got paid.
If you want to do deals in THIS market—not the one from two years ago—this is where you start.
Come to this meeting if it would help you to know:
Wholesaling in 2026
- What wholesaling actually is (and what it is NOT)
- How to determine if a property is truly a deal to today's more-conservative buyers
- Where motivated sellers are coming from right now
- How to estimate repairs without guessing
- How to calculate a safe, profitable offer
- The paperwork
- What the new Ohio wholesaling laws mean for you
Creative Deals in the Real World
- How real creative deals are actually found
- What those seller conversations sound like
- Which structures were used—and why
- The final outcome and profit
Here's the Agenda (come when you can, leave when you must)
5:00–6:00: Free Light Dinner and Networking. Wealth building is a team sport, so shed that introversion for an hour and come meet private lenders, wholesalers, buyers, future partners, and smart, experienced people who are always looking to do business.
6:00: Earlybird Meeting – Wholesaling 101
7:00: Buy-Sell-Trade (members only). Bring your deals, your money, your buyer's list form, your requests for referrals, whatever—and tell your colleagues about them. Buy-Sell-Trade is for members only (don't worry, guests, you'll get a quick orientation with executive director Vena Jones-Cox), and we suggest you bring flyers or business cards because it'll move FAST.
7:30: Creative Deal Autopsies. Whether you're brand new or already doing deals, this is the kind of practical, real-world information that shortens your learning curve and increases your profit. You'll also get the chance to put the presenters in the hot seat and ask any and every question you have about how they did their deals.
Members and non-members at all levels of experience are welcome.
