Hi Tyron,

SJREIA (South Jersey Real Estate Investors Association) has several educational and networking meetings all year round.  Check out our website to see if an upcoming meeting fits your interests and schedules.

Hi Ebony, 

Thanks for letting us know of your interest! This is the first Mercer County bus tour we've had, though SJREIA has had bus tours in the south jersey area before.  We're hoping for a successful turnout and will most likely have more. However, we have no other future tours planned at this time.  I will let the bus tour organizers know of your inquiry.
