Name: Getting Out of a Tight Spot: Miraculous Turnarounds
Start: 2025-08-13T16:00:00.000Z
Location: Sweetwater Cuisine

The difference between success and failure isn't about getting it right every time. It's about successful problem solving when things go wrong. Join us to hear our panel of experienced real estate entrepreneurs describe rentals, renos, purchases, and sales on brink of going bad and how they maneuvered their way into a profit. What to do when a brand new mega apartment complex goes up across from your small older complex? How do you save a "buy, reno, rent" deal that goes south mid-project due to unanticipated costs? Creative solutions for daunting problems. And bring your problems to share and benefit from brainstorming with our panel and our fabulous HRLA group!

Our panel will include our founder Patti Robertson who has decades of experience with her own properties and the properties of her landlord clients. Dena McKee will bring her wealth of experience owning and managing small apartment complexes, quads, and duplexes. And Ryan Mellon of [www.thedigitalnomadcoach.com](http://www.thedigitalnomadcoach.com/) will share his diverse "buy, reno, and rent" challenges and how he found clever ways to pull success out of the jaws of defeat. As always, we will enjoy engaged conversation sharing our own experiences with the panel and getting their insights.
