Hear how Andre Lewis Scaled From 4 Units to 1,300 in the Q & A from this months NOREIA meeting.

08/23/2026

15 years ago, Andre Lewis was sitting in the audience at a NOREIA meeting.

Last week, he was standing at the front of the room sharing how he went from buying his first fourplex to helping build a real estate portfolio of approximately $110 million.

That full-circle moment is exactly what NOREIA is about.

If you missed the meeting (or want to watch it again) we’ve uploaded Andre’s full presentation to the NOREIA YouTube channel.

And if you’ve been thinking about coming to a NOREIA meeting, come get in the room.

⚜️🏡 YOU VOTED — WE LISTENED! Our Second NOREIA Shirt Is Officially LIVE! 🏡⚜️

A few weeks ago, we asked the NOREIA community to vote on which of our new real estate investor designs you wanted to see released next.

The winner was clear:

GEAUX BUY ANOTHER RENTAL! 🏡

And now it's officially available in the NOREIA online store!

👉 https://new-orleans-real-estate-investors-association.myshopify.com/products/geaux-buy-another-rental-louisiana-real-estate-investor-t-shirt-noreia-bayou-edition?fbclid=IwY2xjawT0EUdwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR41QJjXj_-dTiQXxES8Crmz2fUDyCRZc_NlVjUFlh0ddM19WLaGHcnmeCzmDg_aem_18fGauSVd1nYMuvdNWqQTQ

This design combines Louisiana culture and real estate investing, featuring a vintage bayou-inspired look with the phrase every buy-and-hold investor can appreciate:

GEAUX BUY ANOTHER RENTAL.

These shirts are meant to be more than just NOREIA merchandise. They're a fun way to:

⚜️ Represent the NOREIA community
🏡 Let people know you're a real estate investor
💬 Start conversations about investing and real estate
🤝 Connect with other investors you might not otherwise meet
📚 Help spread awareness of Louisiana's real estate investing community
❤️ Support NOREIA and the education, networking, and resources we provide

You never know when wearing a real estate shirt at the grocery store, airport, restaurant, or networking event might lead someone to say, “Hey, you invest in real estate too?”

Sometimes that's all it takes to start a conversation that leads to a new connection, opportunity, or deal.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted and helped us choose our second design!

Our first BRRRRbon Street™ shirt is already available, and now Geaux Buy Another Rental officially joins the collection.

We are so excited to have Andre Lewis speak about how he went from a Duplex to 1,500+ units.

Andre got his start at NOREIA and was once the person in the seat listening to the presenters. We hope he inspires you to attend and then come back in the future to tell your own story.
