Florida Deal Room

The session was very insightful, especially for someone just getting started in real estate investing. I particularly enjoyed the discussion on the "10 Biggest Mistakes Real Estate Investors Make," the introduction to the REI Fax portal as a valuable resource for researching property listings, the deal analysis exercises, and the general discussions on the due diligence involved in evaluating real estate opportunities. I'm looking forward to attending the next one.

I had a great experience at the DREIA Deal Room workshop, even as a seasoned real estate investor with 11 years of experience. Aisha and Viju did an excellent job hosting an engaging and informative workshop. It was also great connecting with other investors in the same space and sharing insights. I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back for future workshops!

I had such a great time at the workshop hosted by DREIA this past Thursday. It was led by Viju and Aisha, and together they have over 40 years of experience. The room was full of new investors and more seasoned investors. I loved connecting with all of them and planning for future deals together. I also loved that we were able to ask questions because there is always something new to learn. By sharing information, we elevate one another and give each other clarity. I invite you to join the next Deal Room workshop with DREIA, and I assure you, you're going to love it.

On July 16, 2026, my partner, Zaldy, and I attended the DREIA Florida Deal Room Capital Collaboration Workshop. We traveled from Palm Beach County and St. Lucie County because we believed it was important to be present and fully engaged. The workshop provided valuable information on fix-and-flip transactions, wholesaling, property rehabilitation, and associated project costs. Viju and Aisha also shared practical do's and don'ts based on their personal experiences in the industry. We appreciated their willingness to be open, transparent, and authentic when discussing both their successes and the lessons they learned along the way. We both found the experience informative, practical, and beneficial to our continued growth as real estate investors, and we look forward to attending the next workshop.

One of my biggest takeaways from the Deal Room was learning more about transactional funding and how it can be used when structuring deals. I also learned the importance of getting started even when you feel like there is still more you need to learn. Sometimes you have to take action and continue learning along the way. The discussion also gave me a better understanding of risk management and the importance of protecting yourself when evaluating and structuring a deal. I would definitely recommend the Deal Room to others who want to increase their knowledge and confidence in real estate investing. Moving forward, one thing I will be more intentional about is being conservative when analyzing deals and making my numbers and decisions.

Attending the DREIA Deal Room Workshop was a great experience. I learned that there are many ways to make money in real estate and that finding great deals is possible when you have the right tools and systems in place. One of the biggest takeaways for me was learning to focus on evaluating a deal's risks before moving forward. I also appreciated that the workshop was presented by experienced investors who are actively doing real estate deals, making the information practical and credible. Watching live underwriting of active deals was especially valuable, as it showed the real-world process of analyzing investment opportunities. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to grow their knowledge and confidence in real estate investing.

The DREIA Deal Room Workshop gave me a better understanding of how fix-and-flip investors operate and how the business works. Coming from a ground-up construction background, my underwriting process is different, so it was valuable to gain a new perspective. One of my biggest takeaways was meeting other professionals in real estate who approach investing differently than I do. I also enjoyed learning about wholesaling and am excited to explore whether it's a business I can get into. I would hands down recommend this workshop to other investors because you can never learn enough about the real estate business. Aisha and Viju are very knowledgeable about the industry, and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to meet them and learn from their experience.
