Using AI To Turbo Charge Your Real Estate Investing (04/20/2026)

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:30:00 GMT

You know those days when your leads, numbers, and follow up all feel like they are winning and you are not.

This session is for that.

We are taking the real problems investors deal with all the time. Too many leads and not enough time to sort them. Deal analysis that eats your whole afternoon. Staring at a blank screen when you need a listing, email, or social post. Good conversations going cold because follow up slipped through the cracks.

Then we will show you how to put AI to work on those exact pain points.

If you have been curious about AI but not sure where to start, this is your on ramp.

First time guests – FREE

First time guests attend free, so bring someone who needs to see what is possible.

Owning AI Infrastructure Is Easier Than You Think (04/27/2026)

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Most people think of AI as software.

But the real action is behind the scenes—inside data centers, powered by physical equipment that actually generates revenue.

In this session, Seth Utley will walk through how that side of AI works… what kind of equipment is involved, how it cash flows, and where investors are starting to pay attention.

He’ll also have an actual server (“node”) in the room, so you can see what this looks like beyond the buzzwords.

If you’ve been curious about AI but haven’t seen where the real opportunity sits, this will make it a lot more concrete.

Uncommon Ways to Wealth (Money, Productivity, and Lifestyle) (05/04/2026)

Mon, 04 May 2026 16:30:00 GMT

Everyone talks about deals, returns, and cash flow. But the real question is: what does wealth actually look like when it works?

In this discussion, we’ll step back from the usual real estate tactics and explore the bigger picture—how investors design their money, productivity, and lifestyle so that success doesn’t come at the expense of their time, health, or relationships.

We’ll look at the unconventional strategies and mindsets that help people build lasting wealth and a life they actually enjoy living.

Because wealth isn’t just about what you earn—it’s about how you live.

Building Better Deals: Working With Contractors (05/07/2026)

Thu, 07 May 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Hosted by Oyster Real Estate Advisors

Working with contractors is part of the business — but it’s not always easy. From timelines and budgets to communication and expectations, knowing how to navigate contractor relationships can make a big difference in how smoothly your deals come together.

Join us for Building Better Deals: Working With Contractors, a workshop designed for agents who want to better understand how to work alongside contractors, avoid common pitfalls, and help their clients move forward with more confidence.

Whether you're helping buyers considering renovations, working with investors, or navigating repairs during a transaction, this session will offer practical insight and real-world perspective you can apply right away.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about contractor conversations, timelines, or next steps — this workshop is for you.

This is a free event and everyone is welcome. RSVP here!

You get an investor lead.They start talking cap rates, returns, exit strategies…

…and suddenly you’re trying to keep up.

Most agents are closer than they think — they just haven’t been shown how investors view a deal.

At The Investor Playbook for Agents, we’ll simplify the numbers, the expectations, and the conversations so you can walk in prepared and come across as confident.

Because once investors trust you, they come back. Again and again.

If you’re ready to feel more capable in that space, this workshop is for you.

Free event. Everyone is welcome.

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.

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?

Admission:

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

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.

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.
