Our next Tampa REIA Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 8th at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Stadium with a special presentation by our good friend David Minor on Starting Over in Real Estate Investing.

If David had to start over in real estate in 2026 with limited capital, no team, and no existing pipeline, what would he actually do? What would you do?

In this presentation, David will walk through the exact approach he would take to rebuild from scratch in today’s market. Rather than recycled theory, this talk is built around real experience from hundreds of transactions across wholesaling, fix-and-flips, rentals, land, self-storage, and brokerage.

Attendees will learn how David would identify opportunities, choose the right types of deals, market for motivated sellers, use AI and data to gain an edge, and avoid the common mistakes that slow investors down. This is a practical session for new and experienced investors alike who want a clearer framework for building or rebuilding a real estate business in a market that has changed dramatically over the last few years.

What You’ll Learn…

• What types of real estate deals I would focus on in 2026
• How I would restart with limited capital and minimal overhead
• The marketing channels I would use to generate opportunities today
• How to think about lead quality instead of just lead volume
• How I would use AI, data, and technology to gain an edge
• The biggest mistakes I would avoid if I were starting over
• How to create multiple exit strategies from the same lead
• Answers to your questions and more!

Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This…

David Minor will share the strategies, tools, and mindset he would use if he had to rebuild from scratch in 2026 — including what to do, what to avoid, and how to move faster with fewer mistakes.
