Knox REIA IS
Under New Management
Investor Lead, Member Focused
Overview
Excuse the mess.
We’re making some changes to improve the value we provide you – managing your membership in Knox REIA should never be difficult and you should never have to email with questions about what’s going on.
We’re working hard in the background to get this website completed and full of all the high quality content that you need, and expect.
Currently, most of the links are turned off – on purpose – so we can get the website live for you to use to manage your membership and register for events so you don’t have to wonder what’s going on anymore.
KnoxREIA.com is now the hub for all things membership – no more sending emails with questions and checking emails for answers, no more “wait for this email and click this link and you’re a member after you pay”, and no more wondering the exact date your credit card will be charged a renewal fee, if ever!
We are changing membership levels and pricing to be more in-line with real operating costs and we’ve taken a look at the averages nationwide for National REIA Chapters in similar MSA’s and matched or beaten them across the board, and we’re increasing the value of your membership by going back to evening meetings on the Third Thursday of each month, and starting more focus groups and casual networking get-togethers.
We’ve discontinued the old $20 and $197 plans, and enhanced and improved the plans that replaced them. Don’t worry – if your membership is current, you won’t get charged the new rate until your current membership runs out and you choose a new plan (you have to do this manually) – but be careful! Your membership will lapse on the last day and your membership benefits will end.

Meet the new leadership
We're here to help our members grow.
Change is hard, but also a necessary part of growth. We’re working to make the changes as painless as possible while addressing the immediate needs of our members – being able to sign up for and renew their memberships online, and knowing where and when the meetings are going to take place.
Every meeting and get-together we plan will be published on the calendar, which you can find on the link at the top and bottom of every page.

Thank you
For being patient
as we try to get everything up and running and organized.

World-Class Networking
In real estate, many times it’s not who you know, but who knows YOU.
Our meeting format has shifted to allow for more networking before and after the main meeting, and be on the lookout for more in-person and online meetups each month.
Expert-Led Education
It’s a crazy world out there, and we know there’s a plethora of misinformation online from gurus and social media stars that doesn’t help – and can even hurt – your investing journey.
As a chapter of National REIA, we try to make sure our speakers have ACTUALLY done the thing they’re speaking about, and done it successfully.Â
We have access to a network of national speakers who get reviewed by other REIA’s so we can avoid wasting your time.
A Focus on Our Members
We’re here to help anyone interested in real estate investing of any experience level from newbies who’ve never done a deal to veterans who have done hundreds. Â
As we roll out updates & changes to the organization, we’re going to keep soliciting feedback to make sure we’re giving the most value we can to our members as they progress through their journey to financial freedom.
Discounts, Rebates & Incentives
Membership has benefits!Â
Our paid members get more than just access to meetings, we’re in the process of updating the website to provide exclusive informational resources to members as well as detailing all the discounts, rebates and perks that are available when you use our local & national vendor sponsors for goods & services.
Resources & Support for Growth
There’s a ton of bad info out there – either outdated or just plain wrong.
We’re building a set of downloads and resources here that is current and will help you bring your business to the next level.
