Ever wish you had an attorney in your back pocket?

This month, we’re bringing not one, but three of them—right to your REIA meeting.

From setting up your first LLC, to handling contracts and closings, to navigating those inevitable landlord-tenant challenges—legal issues touch almost every part of your investing life. This is your chance to get clear, practical answers from pros who live and breathe real estate and business law.
We’ll keep it conversation-style and packed with audience Q&A, so bring your questions about:
  • Choosing the right entity structure for your investing model (and why it matters)
  • Handling contracts and closings the smart way
  • What to know about evictions and how to handle them efficiently
  • Tips for avoiding common compliance pitfalls (like Fair Housing mistakes) before they become problems
  • …and whatever else YOU want to know
David Streeter is a long-time supporter of GLREIA and one of the most approachable attorneys you’ll ever meet. His partners Jim Petropouleas and Sonja Siebert bring deep experience and a knack for explaining legalese in plain English.

Whether you’re just getting started or you’re scaling fast, you need this information before you need it. Because “I’ll deal with it when it happens” is not a business strategy—it’s an accident waiting to happen.
