NCREIA - Charlotte Chapter

Join us online for the Summit Investors Help Night: Trust or Asset Protection! This highly collaborative session is led by a panel of experienced, active investors who have graduated from the Summit program. They’re sharing the real-world strategies they use to keep their properties, partnerships, and personal assets safe.

What We'll Break Down:

• LLCs vs. Trusts: The pros, cons, and major differences between entity types for holding real estate.
• Anonymity & Privacy: How to properly use land trusts to keep your name off public records and out of the sights of predatory lawsuits.
• Live Q&A & Troubleshooting: Bring your current entity structures, asset questions, or legal bottlenecks and get direct feedback from investors who have been there.

This session is part of a 12-month online masterclass series led by Vena Jones-Cox and successful association leaders from across the country. Whether you're working on your first rental or managing a large portfolio, come make sure your hard work is fully protected.

Join us online for Office Hours! This is a casual, face-to-face Zoom session where experienced, active members of our community hang out for an hour just to help you troubleshoot your business. Bring your numbers, your contracts, or your dilemmas, and let's get them sorted out together.

What to Bring:

• Your Active Deals: Get a second pair of eyes to verify your numbers or comps.
• Your Roadblocks: Whether it's funding, finding a buyer, or dealing with red tape, let's talk through it.
• Your Questions: No question is too basic or too complex.

Same business—two totally different playbooks. Is it better to create your own mortgage note or buy one that's already performing?

This month, the Nothing but Notes Focus Group is turning into a friendly showdown. We’re bringing two top note investors into the ring to debate the ultimate question: Make them or buy them?

In one corner, we have Sharon Conour (Founder of Weird Lending), who builds notes from the ground up through private lending. In the other corner, we have Marco Bario (President of Porch Swing Funding), who buys existing seller-financed notes on the secondary market.

Neither one is backing down—pull up a virtual seat, learn their strategies, and pick a side.

What You'll Learn:

• The Key Differences: The reality of risk, capital, and control when lending to create a note vs. buying one already in motion.
• The Playbooks: How both Sharon and Marco find opportunities, protect their capital, and maximize returns.
• Your Framework: A clear path to decide whether creating, buying, or combining both strategies fits your personal investing goals.

Join us online for Haves and Wants (PropSwap). Bring whatever you have to offer, or whatever your business is missing, and pitch it directly to the community.

Come Ready To:

• Share Your "Haves": Pitch your off-market deals, wholesale contracts, available capital, or services.
• Ask For Your "Wants": Tell the room exactly what you need—whether it's buyers, private money, or a specialized contractor.
• Unstick a Deal: Got a tricky scenario? Lay it out and get live, creative solutions from experienced operators on the spot.
