Worst Deals, Best Lessons: Real Estate After-Action Reviews

Join us for a high-impact REIN Main Event designed for investors at every stage—whether you’re working on your first deal or managing a growing portfolio.

Instead of highlight reels, this event dives into real deals that didn’t go as planned. Just like teaching hospitals conduct after-action reviews, our panelists will break down what went wrong, what they learned, and how those lessons made them better investors.
What to Expect:
Real Investor Stories
Hear directly from experienced REIN members as they share their toughest deals—missed red flags, blown budgets, title issues, contractor problems, and more. These are honest conversations about mistakes, pivots, and growth.
Featured Panelists:
  • Ray Eimerman
    • Third-generation builder with 38 years of experience in residential and commercial construction. Owner of 5 Star Construction, LLC, Ray is also an active investor focused on fix-and-flips, buy-and-holds, and property management.
  • Carly Radzimanowski
    • Real estate investor active in multiple markets, bringing a broad perspective across different deal types and regions.
  • Richard Scarbrough
    • Realtor and investor with more than 40 years of experience, having bought, rehabbed, and sold over 400 homes. Recently relocated to Nashville with his wife, Pam, to be closer to their grandchildren.
  • Peter Messiah
    • Former mechanical engineer turned full-time real estate investor. Peter flips homes, wholesales, uses creative financing, and is passionate about creating win-win solutions for people in challenging situations.
Practical Lessons You Can Apply Immediately
Learn what to look for before you write an offer, what systems to add to protect your time and money, and how to spot problems early—before they cost you thousands.
Process Improvements & Risk Reduction
Discover extra steps, checkpoints, and questions to add to your investing process so your next deal runs smoother than the last.
Community & Connection
Network with fellow investors, ask questions, and hear how others navigated challenges similar to the ones you may be facing right now.
Who Should Attend?
  • New Investors:
    • Learn what not to do before learning it the expensive way—and gain confidence knowing mistakes are part of the journey.
  • Experienced Investors:
    • Sharpen your systems, validate your process, and pick up insights that can improve your current projects.
  • Anyone Scaling Their Business:
    • Whether you focus on fix-and-flips, buy-and-holds, wholesaling, or property management, this event delivers lessons that apply across all strategies.
