— TREIA LUNCH & LEARN

Real Deals. Real Insight. Real Connections.

Join BETTER at the Triangle Real Estate Investors Association every Thursday for a working lunch where serious investors gather to sharpen their edge. Each session tackles a different aspect of real estate investing, from creative financing and private lending to BRRRR strategies, land development, and subject-to deals.

What to Expect

Each session features:

  • Rotating Expert Topics Every week brings a new focus: hard money lending, lease options, investing with retirement funds, credibility kits, and more. The topics rotate to cover the full spectrum of strategies that work in today's market.
     

  • Direct Access to Decision-Makers This is a room full of experts, not spectators. You'll network with active investors, agents, lenders, appraisers, contractors, and property managers who are all executing at a high level across the Triangle.
     

  • Focused Learning Windows Networking starts at 11:30, and the event kicks off at noon. The main presentation starts at 12:30, giving you time to connect with us before and after.
     

Whether you're scaling your portfolio, exploring new strategies, or building relationships with the people who make deals happen, the TREIA Lunch & Learn is where BETTER shows up every week to stay sharp, and we'd like to see you there. Head to the TREIA events page to sign up in advance.
