Whether you’re taking your very first steps toward financial freedom or scaling a thriving real estate portfolio, RERL 2026 will equip you with the tools, strategies, and relationships to create lasting wealth and legacy.

Make Meaningful Connections
This event is designed to provide plenty of opportunities to share your experiences, obstacles, and ideas. You just might meet someone who becomes a friend that encourages you, collaborates with you, and holds you accountable.

Secure your Freedom
We believe in radical transparency, and that's just what you'll get. During our Saturday morning "Secure Your Freedom" session, we will share everything we know about scaling real estate investments successfully.
Launch your Legacy
We go deeper than real estate investing. After all, real estate investing is about so much more than cash flow or how many doors you own.

See What Operating 1,600+ Doors Looks Like
Meet the vertically integrated Black Swan team and get an exclusive behind-the scenes look at varying stages of the renovation process and how we implement our value add strategy.

We’re your hosts
We’re Nick and Dr. Elaine Stageberg, a husband-and-wife team on a mission to help others achieve financial freedom and create a lasting legacy. As the founders of Black Swan Real Estate, we’ve grown our portfolio to over 1600+ doors and manage more than $400 million in assets under management. We personally manage our entire portfolio through our sister company, Black Swan Living, with a focus on driving operational excellence through vertical integration. But what drives us isn’t just numbers—it’s empowering others to take control of their financial futures and build lives of purpose and impact.
Beyond real estate investing, we’re passionate educators and community builders. Every month, we host the Community Power Hour, a free educational event designed to inspire, teach, and empower real estate investors at all stages of their journey. Sharing our experiences and insights is one of the most fulfilling parts of our work, and we love helping others realize their potential to create freedom and legacy.
