— COFFEE & A CASE STUDY

Fresh Brew. Real Analysis. Straight Talk.

Join us on the first Friday of each month for a candid conversation over coffee where we break down a recent BETTER investment or explore a timely real estate topic. Each session ties real-world examples to the trends shaping our market, offering insight into how we think, what we’re watching, and why our moves make the most sense based on market conditions.

What to Expect

Each session features:

  • Real Case Studies
    We walk you through one of our recent deals, from how we sourced it to how we underwrote it, structured it, and exited. Real numbers, real outcomes, real takeaways.

  • Specialty Coffee Tasting
    We partner with local coffee shops to serve up hand-selected brews while sharing insights on flavor, process, and technique.

  • Room Full of Investors
    You’ll meet fellow investors, lenders, agents, and other professionals who are actively shaping the market.

 

Wake up and start your month on the right foot with coffee, pastries, and insider real estate insights. Whether you're growing your portfolio or just wanting to learn, Coffee & A Case Study is one of the easiest (and most enjoyable) ways to level up.
