Nationwide Online Chapter Meeting: How to Get Started in Commercial Investing

with... Multiple Experts

Learn how real investors break into commercial deals, fund them, and choose the right assets so you can confidently step into bigger, more scalable opportunities.

Thursday, May 21, 2026 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

We’re focused on one thing: helping you become a more capable, confident, and profitable real estate investor by surrounding you with people who are actually doing the business at a high level.

And while we know that most investors start in residential…at some point, you start to hit limits.

More doors mean more headaches. More management. More moving parts.

And you start wondering if there’s a better way to scale.

That’s why we’re bringing you this conversation—because you might just think, “I need to get into commercial properties”—and getting started feels like a black box for most investors.

Our panel of commercial investors and brokers who are actively doing deals—right now—to break it down for you.

How they started. What they’re buying. How they’re funding deals. And what you need to know before you jump in.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How real investors actually get started in commercial deals
  • The pros and cons of different commercial asset classes
  • Which property types investors are focusing on right now
  • How commercial deals are structured and funded
  • Why many investors transition from residential to commercial
  • What you need to have in place before your first deal
  • How to avoid common (and expensive) beginner mistakes
  • Answers to your questions from experienced dealmakers

Here’s the Meeting Agenda:

6:30–7:00: The Ask Room
Bring your deals, your questions, and your roadblocks. This is your chance to get direct help from other investors before the main meeting starts. Whether you need funding, feedback, contacts, or clarity—ask for it here, and you’ll get what you’re looking for.

7:00: Member Deal of the Month
A real deal. Broken down. What worked, what didn’t, and what you can take from it.

7:15: Getting Started in Commercial Real Estate

8:30 PM: The Meeting After the Meeting
Stick around, connect, follow up, and continue the conversations. This is where a lot of real relationships (and deals) begin.
