Exit First: How Smart Investors Structure for Profitability (05/18/2026)

Mon, 18 May 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Most investors start with the deal…
smart investors start with the exit.

Before you buy, before you renovate, before you list — the question is: how does this actually turn into profit?

In this session, Callie Loewen will walk through how experienced investors structure their deals with the end in mind — from pricing and timelines to choosing the right strategy based on the market.

This isn’t about theory. It’s about thinking through your numbers, your options, and your exit before you’re committed.

If you’ve ever felt like you were figuring things out as you went, this conversation will help you approach deals with more clarity and confidence.

Buying the house is the easy part—keeping the momentum going is where the real wealth is made.

This month’s Properties & Pastries is all about the “middle phase” of investing—how to take what you have and scale it into something that lasts.

We’ll also have Mike Kerr of Capital Fund 1 in the room to answer questions around hard money, funding deals, and how investors are keeping projects moving right now.

No fluff, no sales pitches—just coffee, pastries, and a room full of people trying to do exactly what you’re doing.

The Great Reset: How to Find Market Correction Buying Opportunities (06/01/2026)

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Every real estate cycle has a moment where the market pauses, adjusts, and resets.

For some investors, that’s a warning sign.

For others, it’s the moment they’ve been waiting for.

This session explores how savvy investors spot buying opportunities during market corrections—where to look, what signals to watch for, and how to position yourself to act when deals begin to surface.

When the market resets, the next wave of opportunity usually follows. The question is: will you be ready to see it?

If you have ever side eyed the phrase but still wanted to know how it is really done, this is the one to show up for.

RE Industry Night (06/10/2026)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Let’s be real: you probably learn more in 20 minutes of talking to another investor than you do in 2 hours of reading market reports.

Our RE Industry Night is for the people who are currently navigating the "Middle TN hustle." From 4 PM to 7 PM, we’re clearing the air of all the corporate fluff and getting the agents, wholesalers, and lenders into one room to talk about what’s actually happening on the ground right now.

Bring your latest "lesson learned" and your business cards. Let’s see what we can put together before the workday officially resets.

Deal Finding: Ways to Make the Numbers Make Sense (06/22/2026)

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Great deals rarely show up perfectly packaged.

Sometimes the numbers look tight. Sometimes the opportunity isn’t obvious. And sometimes the best deals are the ones most people overlook.

In this conversation, we’ll dive into how investors identify, analyze, and structure deals so the numbers actually work. From spotting hidden value to thinking creatively about deal structure, we’ll explore the mindset and strategies behind finding opportunities in any market.

Because successful investors don’t just wait for deals—they learn how to make them work.

Properties & Pastries: Making Generational Wealth (06/26/2026)

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Ever feel like you’re just collecting properties instead of building a business?

This month at Properties & Pastries, we’re shifting our focus from the "closing" to the "compounding." It’s one thing to buy a rental; it’s another to architect a portfolio that pays for your retirement and your grandkids' college tuition.

Youth RE Investing Workshop (07/20/2026)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Most adults wish someone had taught them about investing earlier. This workshop is built to do exactly that.

The Youth RE Investing Workshop introduces young people to how real estate actually works in the real world—not theory, but the basics investors use every day. We’ll talk about how properties make money, how investors decide if a deal works, and how owning assets can change someone’s financial future.

Participants will see how investors think, ask questions about real deals, and start understanding the difference between working for money and having money work for you.

Admission:

First time guests – FREE
Members – FREE
Non‑members – $22 at the door

It’s not about turning kids into investors overnight. It’s about giving them a head start on thinking differently about money, opportunity, and ownership.

Opportunities in New and Legacy Media (TV, Film, Social): Dirt, Licensing, and More (08/10/2026)

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Entertainment and media aren’t just about content—they’re about assets, rights, and the real estate behind the scenes.

In this conversation, we’ll explore where opportunities are emerging across both traditional media (TV and film) and the fast-moving world of social and digital platforms. From location use and land access to licensing and other behind-the-scenes opportunities, there’s more happening in this space than most people realize.

Admission:

First time guests – FREE
Members – FREE
Non‑members – $22 at the door

Whether you’re curious about how media productions interact with property or interested in how rights, land, and content intersect, this session will offer a look at a side of the industry that most people rarely hear about.

Commercial Real Estate (08/31/2026)

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Most investors start with single-family homes. But sooner or later, many begin asking the same question: What about commercial real estate?

Commercial properties—from retail and office space to multifamily and mixed-use—operate under a very different set of rules than residential deals. The numbers, the leases, and the risks all look a little different.

In this session, we’ll explore how commercial real estate works, what investors should understand before stepping into this space, and how opportunities in commercial property are evaluated.

Admission:

First time guests – FREE
Members – FREE
Non‑members – $22 at the door

Whether you’re curious about expanding beyond residential or simply want to understand the commercial side of the market, this conversation will help connect the dots.
