We are consistently energized and inspired at our REITE Club live events by people who are doing great things in real estate investing. That’s the speakers and many members of the audience. Sadly not everyone is able to attend every meeting, or you are just too far away to make it to a live event. We wanted to bring that energy and knowledge right to where ever you are, hence the podcast!





The interviews you will hear are from people who have shown success in real estate investing and learn what they do to succeed, some lessons learned and what they are doing now to keep things moving. After you launch something, you need to feed it and grow it. There’s no such thing as “if you build it, they will come.”
