If You're Serious About Making Real Money in Real Estate,
You Seriously Need to Be Part of the COREE Community!
COREE isn't just another "Real Estate Investors Association".
It's a community of like-minded, supportive real estate entrepreneurs that started in the Greater Columbus area and now welcomes and supports members from all over the U.S.
Since Vena Jones-Cox brought together the founding members back in 2011, we’ve been a group created BY successful flippers, rental housing providers, note buyers, AirBnB fans, private lenders, and investor-friendly service providers, FOR new and active real estate entrepreneurs.
WHY did we do it?
So we can share experienced advice, share resources, do deals together, get educated about strategies, provide opportunities and the accountability and support that only like-minded colleagues can.
Some of our over 650 members enjoying networking time, talking real estate, and free dinner at our main meeting.
An important note for 2021:
Due to that pesky pandemic that you probably already know about, our 1st Tuesday of the month main meeting is currently live with social distancing, and also simulcast on Zoom. Most of our Saturday workshops are either Zoom or live with simulcast. Our focus group meetings are entirely on Zoom unless otherwise noted.
The good news: that means that you can attend most meetings from anywhere in the world, and without leaving the comfort of your home!
Membership Has SOOOO Many Privileges…
Every experienced real estate entrepreneur knows that to be successful in real estate investing, you need 4 things:
- Education
- Money
- Deals
- A team: of service providers, contractors, mentors, advisors, and partners
We agree, and since we’re a group created BY real estate entrepreneurs, we’ve built a community that provides its members with opportunities to get ALL of those things.
Just look what you get when you join:
