Retreat Plant the Seed!
March 26th, 2022 to March 31st, 2022
On this Retreat, through the study of real estate contracts from various states, you will get a comfortable familiarity with real estate contracts and terms. Walk the six assorted properties purchased in the last year by Black Communities Action Committee, raw land, buildings, and tenant-occupied properties. You will sharpen your business and research skills. Disconnecting from the anxiety associated with the unknown and inexperience becomes positively methodical and removes the limitations of emotion from the game.
