About

For over half a century, the Greater Dayton Real Estate Investors Association (GDREIA) has been a pillar of education, advocacy, and opportunity for investors across the region. Founded to equip aspiring and seasoned real estate professionals with knowledge and resources, GDREIA has remained steadfast in its mission—empowering individuals while promoting responsible and ethical investment practices.
Throughout the last 50 years, the real estate industry has seen seismic shifts—from economic booms and recessions to regulatory overhauls and evolving housing demands. In just the past 5-10 years, Dayton’s landscape has continued to transform, with increasing emphasis on affordability, tenant rights, and sustainable development. The world of real estate is changing, and so is GDREIA.
Recognizing the importance of collaboration and adaptation, GDREIA has strengthened its partnerships with key organizations such as the Board of Realtors, Greater Dayton Apartment Association, and Dayton Tenants Union- working collectively to champion ethical investing, foster safe housing, and bridge the gap between investors, property owners, and tenants.
