Mission Statement
FFREIA exists to enable individuals seeking financial security and freedom through real estate investing by offering education, networking and support to the community in the Greater Rochester, New York area.
Vision Statement
To become the largest and most effective support group for real estate investors of all sizes and levels of experience in the Greater Rochester area.
Values Statement We believe that every individual should have access to knowledge that allows them to find freedom by building wealth; that investing in real estate is the best method to achieve true freedom and financial security; and that ethical, professional real estate investing positively impacts the community and local economy.
Our History
In 2008, a group of Upstate New York investors knowledgeable in real estate investing looked to leverage their experience by starting a not-for-profit organization aimed at providing knowledge and sharing expertise with other interested investors in an affordable and inexpensive way.
They called it Freedom First Real Estate Investors Association or FFREIA. Its goal: to enhance knowledge, grow profit, and provide value and resources for every investor interested in this time-tested investment field.
President's Message
Welcome! At Freedom First REIA we strive to support all real estate investors, beginners and experienced, in three key areas.
Networking: Freedom First members are involved directly with nearly every manner and mode of real estate investing. Networking allows members to meet, to partner, to gain advice about hiring contractors, to develop leads, to sound out professionals and get their advice, to work together on joint ventures, and to gain in all the benefits that meeting and freely sharing information with seasoned experts can provide.
Training: Freedom First hosts talks and presentations by acknowledged experts across a wide range of real estate subjects. Some experts are well-known visitors to the Rochester area; some are FFREIA members who are available for follow-up advice then and later, at regular meetings. In both cases, members receive the educational benefits of professional real estate talks and presentations without the four- and five-figure prices such presentations sometimes require.
Resources: Member input aside, Freedom First members can connect with vendors who offer special discounts to FFREIA members, as well as make use of the information resources on our web site, linking to information sources and tools that can enhance investment profit and reduce investment risk.
We thank you for visiting our web site and we invite you to become a member. You’re welcome to visit our general meeting as well as our subgroup meetings (please see the calendar for the event time and location) — and the first two meeting are free.
If you have questions, please contact Susan Holman for more details.
– Leon Griggs, President of Freedom First REIA, Ltd.
