The Real Investor Roundtable (RIR) is a national forum for elite real estate investors to share best practices and strategies to build, sustain, and protect wealth created through real estate. RIR members gather three times a year to network, learn, and share invaluable insights.
Our focus is on delivering actionable content that helps leverage your knowledge and success in real estate. In each of our meetings we drill down into essential topics that include raising and optimizing capital, hiring practices and motivating staff, construction management, operational practices, corporate structuring, tax strategies, and much more.
