Every Wednesday in Riverside, and on Zoom
Power Hour at the table

Talk real estate. Without rehearsing a pitch.

Sit down with people who own rentals, flip houses, lend and work on real estate, even if you're still figuring out your first deal. Power Hour dinner and networking gives you an hour to ask questions and compare experiences, with dinner included on your first Wednesday.

The room

Your investor dinner in Riverside starts with a conversation.

Ask a landlord about rentals. Talk construction with a contractor. Compare what you're learning with someone working toward their first deal.

The room brings together investors, lenders, contractors, wholesalers, landlords and agents, including people who flip houses and help buyers and sellers. The full Wednesday evening typically draws 40 to 60 people across its three blocks. Power Hour gives you an hour to talk over dinner.

“I have met so many people that are so helpful and willing to teach you. If they don't know your question(s), they will refer you to someone that does.”

First introductions

The green dot makes saying hello easier.

First-time guests get a little green dot on their name tag. It tells regulars you're new and gives them a reason to introduce themselves.

You don't have to figure out an opening pitch. Share the market you're watching, what you're learning or the question you're trying to answer. No forced networking. Just a place to start the conversation.

The room already uses conversation starters like:

What's the last deal you passed on, and why?
Which market are you watching right now?
What's one tool you can't invest without?

Specific questions give people something useful to answer.

Ask what someone is working on. Listen. If they mention something connected to your experience or current problem, keep going.

A few good conversations are more useful than trying to meet everyone in the room.

Dinner included

Bring your questions. Dinner is included.

Power Hour runs every Wednesday from 5 to 6 PM Pacific. Dinner comes out after the Deal Room, and people move around and talk before FOCUS begins.

Members and first-time guests have dinner included. Pull up a chair whether you're working on a deal or learning where to start. You don't need years of experience to ask a good question.
