Are you curious what the active real estate professionals are investing in, in today’s market? We've invited a panel of 4 professional real estate investors to share their expertise and experiences in different real estate investment vehicles in 2017 and how they plan to run and build their business in 2018. We'll have open networking before the event to meet other investors and future investors from throughout Southern California and an open question and answer session at the end for attendees to ask the panelists questions about their experience and business. This panel is only hosted once a year and it tends to be one of the most informative meetings we host. We hope to see you there!
