I’m hosting a local real estate meetup in Boise focused on one of the most common questions I hear from new investors and first-time buyers:

“How do I actually analyze a deal and know if it works?”

This meetup is designed to walk through the practical side of deal analysis — not theory, not hype. We’ll break down how to look at a listing, estimate rents, understand payments, and see how different financing options impact the numbers.

We’ll also talk through common mistakes I see people make early on (overestimating rent, underestimating expenses, waiting too long to feel “ready,” etc.).

What we’ll cover:

  • How to analyze a real estate deal step-by-step

  • Rent estimates, mortgage payments, cash flow, and equity

  • What makes a deal vs. a bad deal (real examples)

  • Financing options like FHA and conventional loans

  • How house hacking changes affordability

  • Open Q&A and discussion

This is beginner-friendly, but still useful if you’ve already bought a property or two and want to tighten up your process.

📍 Boise, ID
🗓 Thursday, February 19th
⏰ 6:30–8:00 PM

No sales pitch — just education, conversation, and networking with others who are learning and investing locally.

If you’re in the Boise / Treasure Valley area and want to better understand how deals actually work, you’re welcome to join.

Happy to answer questions here as well.

    Any chance this could be recorded and shared later?

    @Parker Black 

    Great question — we don’t currently record the meetups live, but I do plan to post a recap / recording on my YouTube channel a few days after each event.

    Feel free to follow along here so you don’t miss it:

    I’ll also be sharing more deal breakdowns, local Boise/Treasure Valley investing content, and future meetup topics there as well.

    Appreciate you asking — hope to have you plugged in!
