Most investors focus on finding the deal…

But what happens AFTER you close is what actually determines whether you make money.

This month at The Konection Lunch & Learn, we’re bringing in Adam Locklear — co-founder of 1 Realty Management — to talk about what’s REALLY happening in the North Florida rental market right now and how smart property management can completely change the performance of your investments.

We’re talking:
• Maximizing ROI on rental properties
• What investors are getting WRONG in today’s market
• Real-time North Florida market updates
• What’s actually working with rentals in 2026
• How strong property management protects your profits

Adam has over 23 years of experience in residential real estate, has completed 3,000+ deals, and has helped investors grow and stabilize over $100M in real estate assets across North Florida.

If you own rentals, want rentals, or are trying to build long-term wealth through real estate… this is a conversation you need to be in.

📍 Mellow Mushroom Tinseltown
🗓 Wednesday, June 3rd
⏰ 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM

Come hungry. Bring questions. See you there 👊

This month's Konection was honestly such a good reminder that real estate is still a relationship business 👏

We called this meetup “Tap Back Into Your Network” for a reason… because sometimes the next deal, partnership, lender, contractor, buyer, or opportunity is literally one conversation away.

No big presentation.
No overcomplicated agenda.

Just a room full of Jacksonville real estate investors, wholesalers, flippers, lenders, and entrepreneurs actually connecting with each other again.

And honestly… those are usually the best rooms.

Really appreciate everybody who came out, networked, shared value, and poured into the community.

A lot of deals are going to come out of this room 👀

See you again in June 😎🌴

The way people are finding off-market deals is changing.

Instead of manually searching Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, all these random sites people are using AI to do it for them.

Dolmar Cross explains how you can literally say “go find me vacant lots in this area” and it’ll go pull from places you didn’t even think to look.

That’s the part that got me.

Because most people are still doing this the old way… scrolling, searching, hoping to find something.

Meanwhile, the people using this are just… sourcing opportunities faster.

I don’t think it replaces anything… but it definitely amplifies what you’re already doing.

Just something to start paying attention to! 📱💬

No speaker this month… because the value is already in the room.

So this month at The Konection, we’re doing it a little different.

No speaker.
No presentation.

Just a room full of people who are actually in the game.

This is where you run into someone you haven’t talked to in a while, meet someone who has exactly what you need, and have one conversation that turns into something bigger.

If you’ve been needing to reconnect, meet new people, or just get back around the right energy—this is it.

This one was messy…

Like underwater mortgage, behind on payments, didn’t even live in the house anymore, needed work AND a roof 😅

And I remember thinking… yeah, this is why most people would just walk.

Because on paper?
There was no deal here.

But situations like this are exactly why I love what we do.

Because it’s not always about numbers first… it’s about people.

She didn’t need another investor trying to “get a deal”
She needed someone to actually help her figure out a way out.

And once we slowed down and actually looked at what was going on…

it worked.

Not the traditional way. Not the “clean” way.
But the way that made sense for her.

Those are the deals nobody talks about… but they’re happening every day 💰

Let’s be real… If you’ve been in this game long enough, you’ve seen it.

A wholesaler sends a deal and the ARV looks REAL nice.

Maybe a little too nice 🤔

Here’s the truth:
👉 Never trust the ARV at face value.

What do we do instead? We verify EVERYTHING.

Because one inflated ARV can kill your entire deal, and this is where a lot of newer investors get burned…

They buy based on hope instead of data.

💡 The real move: Protect your downside first. Profit comes after.
