Okanagan Real Estate Investment Group Networking Event. Topic: Scaling to 55 units

From Family Foundations to Commercial Real Estate — Building a Portfolio Through Every Market Cycle At our upcoming Okanagan Real Estate Investment Group meeting, we’re excited to welcome Nolan Sisett, a real estate investor whose journey spans more than two decades, multiple markets, major wins, painful lessons, and a powerful evolution from small residential investor to mid-size commercial partner. This will be an intimate, high-value evening focused on real experience — not theory. Nolan will walk us through his real estate journey from childhood exposure, to investing with his wife, to U.S. expansion, to surviving the 2008 crash, and ultimately to building commercial assets alongside his father. 🔑 What Nolan Will Be Sharing (5 Key Highlights) 1. The Real Foundations of an Investor Nolan will start with how he and Julie were exposed to real estate as kids — the successes they witnessed, the mistakes they saw, and how those early experiences shaped the way he invests today. 2. Building a Business as a Couple & a Family From starting in 2003 with his wife as a team, Nolan will share how they structured roles, navigated family partnerships, and built a lifestyle around real estate — not just a portfolio. 3. U.S. Investing, Hard Lessons & the 2008 Reality Check Hear the behind-the-scenes story of what pulled them into U.S. markets, how they grew, what went wrong, the mistakes that cost them, and what 2006–2009 really looked like across Alabama, Florida, and Kelowna — both financially and personally. 4. The Rebuild & the Shift Back to Strength Nolan will walk through how they recovered after 2008, bought again, benefited from the 2015 market, refined their Kelowna strategy, and what ultimately led him into full-time real estate. 5. From Small Investor to Commercial Partner In 2021, Nolan entered commercial real estate with his dad — stepping into corporate partnerships, triple-net leases, and mid-size assets. He’ll break down their strategy and share the story of a recent “home run” deal he sourced and structured when others couldn’t make it work. Today, Nolan balances active real estate investing with raising two children and funding a very expensive education — bringing a grounded, real-world perspective on risk, growth, and long-term thinking. If you’re serious about building a portfolio that can survive market cycles, evolve with opportunity, and support real life — this is a night you won’t want to miss.
