It's Fall Y'all, and it's our birthday! It all started FOUR years ago with a man, a plan, and a beer. A lot has changed since that first meeting at Commonwealth Brewery. AND we get to celebrate in person this year with that man, that plan, and PLENTY of beer! Join us on Tuesday, October 26th at 7pm to hear from Jay Walker, Ph.D. He's an Assistant Professor of Economics and Old Dominion University and he helps put together the State of the Region Report every year. He spoke to us last October and it was definitely one of our best meetings! We're so excited he agreed to come back and we can't wait to talk to him about our unique area. If you have any questions for Jay ahead of time, write them here so you don't forget! We can't believe it's been four years already. Thank you all so much. We could not have continued this without you. We really appreciate everyone that comes to the meetings (or watches them online now) and we're looking forward to the time when we can all get together again to drink a beer and talk real estate!

Join us on Tuesday, May 25th at 7:00 (7:30 online!) to hear from one of the biggest Hard Money lenders in the area! Everyone in this business needs a loan for something. Whether you're working on a BRRR or a straight Rehab, money is important. You want someone who can not only lend you money easily and fairly, but also someone that knows the business. There's nothing worse than someone knowing the deal will fail but lending you the money anyway. All of our lenders will tell you when a deal doesn't work and help you understand the process better so you can become a more experienced, knowledgeable investor.
