Making NOI: The Wild Returns Possible in Commercial Real Estate (06/08/2026)

Mon, 08 Jun 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.

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.

Real Estate Wealth Over A Lifetime (06/15/2026)

Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Most people spend years learning how to build wealth — but very few are taught how to protect, transition, and coordinate it over time.

Join us for Real Estate Wealth Over A Lifetime with Katherine Schoeff as she shares insight from decades of experience in financial services, retirement education, real estate investing, and residential real estate throughout Middle Tennessee.

In this conversation, Katherine will explore the often-overlooked transition between wealth accumulation and retirement — and why housing, liquidity, caregiving, taxes, estate planning, and real estate decisions become increasingly connected later in life.

Whether you’re building your portfolio, planning long term, or thinking about the legacy you want to create, this presentation offers a unique perspective on how real estate fits into long-term wealth, flexibility, and financial coordination.

Come learn, network, and connect with fellow investors and professionals in the TNREIA community.

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.

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.
