REI Partners: The Flatiron Sessions | Session 2 of 6

The inspection looked fine. The seller said everything worked. Then the real costs showed up.

Join REI Partners on November 24 as we walk through a real property and the problems that weren't obvious at first glance. We'll look at what was missed, what it cost, and what due diligence could have caught it sooner.

Session 2 of our six-month Flatiron Sessions series brings 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

- What problems are easy to miss on a walkthrough?

- Which inspections and reports are worth paying for?

- What questions should you ask the seller, agent, or tenants?

- How do you budget for the things you can't see yet?

- When does a hidden problem mean renegotiate—or walk away?

- What expensive lesson would you share with a first-time buyer?

The roundtable is your opportunity to contribute. Share what you've learned the hard way, hear how others approach due diligence, and leave with a better checklist for your next deal.
