**The Nesting Special:** Become a Flocker (member) today and get your **second month on us**. What this means? **Both 18 Apr & 2 May** pickleball sessions, plus all dinners and socials—all covered by your first month subscription. **Date:** Thursday, March 26, 2026 **Time:** 7.30PM - 9.30PM **Location:** A hand-picked hidden gem (Revealed 24h before) **Duration:** \~2 hours This is not a big launch. It is a gentle first step; a small, shared-table dinner with a light-hearted layer of mystery woven in - nothing intense, nothing to prepare for. **The Vibe:** Singapore moves at the speed of an algorithm, but the best parts of us are analog. Join a small flock at a hidden-gem restaurant for a **"digital detox" dinner.** No character limits, no "feeds"—just shared plates and the original social network: the Kampong spirit. **The Mystery:** Every Flocker at the table carries an **Analog Truth** (a real-life story or quirk). Your goal: discover which truth belongs to whom before the night is out. It’s a low-pressure way to skip the "What do you do for work?" talk and meet the real humans behind the screens. **The Best Way to Join the Nest (Mother Hen's Recommendation):** Most of our community chooses the **Flocker Membership** because it gives them the time to settle in and truly find their people over several gatherings.

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.
