REAPS membership requirements

Every criterion REAPS publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it, plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.

Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.

How admission works

Invitation required

Sponsor required

Selectivity

Not publicly disclosed; the published route is open paid enrolment.

Membership term

Annual or monthly, depending on the plan chosen

Primary audience

Private real estate investors in the Puget Sound region, from beginners to experienced operators, plus service businesses selling to them

Typical member

Members are individual real estate investors (flippers, wholesalers, buy-and-hold landlords, lenders, short-term rental operators) at a range of experience levels, alongside business members such as contractors, lenders and property managers who buy the paid business tiers.

Do you appear to meet them?

The qualification tool reads these rows against a profile you give in ranges and explains which criteria appear met, unclear or unmet. Check your profile

If not: alternatives to REAPS (National REIA, REIN, Searchfunder, The Collective Genius).
