REI Partners - Real Estate Education & Networking

Deal or Disaster? Would You Buy It?
REI Partners: The Flatiron Sessions | Session 1 of 6
The listing looks great. The numbers sound promising. But would you put YOUR money into it?
Join REI Partners on October 27 as we evaluate a real property, examine the numbers, challenge the assumptions, and ask the question that matters: Would you buy it—or walk away?
This kicks off our six-month Flatiron Sessions series, bringing together practical education, open roundtable discussions, and networking with local investors and entrepreneurs.
Whether you’re considering your first investment or already own a portfolio, come ready to ask questions and share your perspective.

WE’LL DISCUSS

• Does the asking price make sense?
• What do the income and expenses actually tell us?
• What repairs, risks, or hidden costs could change the deal?
• What information is missing before making an offer?
• Could financing make—or break—the opportunity?
• Would you buy, negotiate, or walk away?

The roundtable is your opportunity to contribute. Hear how others approach the same property, share what you see, and learn from different experiences around the room.
