If you've been feeling this way, you're not alone...

You bought a few properties and now you're stuck. You don't know how to scale without getting overwhelmed.

You've watched the market shift and you're questioning if now is even the right time to start.

You're tired of going to conferences where you're the only one who looks like you, thinks like you, or comes from where you come from.

You're consuming content but not taking action because you don't have anyone to help you apply it to YOUR specific situation.

You're building alone and it's exhausting. You want a community that actually gets it.

Here's what happens when you keep building alone...

You second-guess every decision because you don't have a sounding board

You miss opportunities because you don't know what you don't know

You stay stuck at 1-2 properties for years while watching others scale

You feel isolated in a journey that's supposed to create freedom

You wonder if it's even worth it anymore

But what if there was a different way?

This is where you paint the picture of what makes this event different:

It's not a room full of strangers trying to sell you courses

It's not surface-level motivation with no actionable strategy

It's not a space where you'll feel out of place or overlooked

It's a family reunion for real estate investors who refuse to quit.

Secure Your Spot

For three days, you'll be surrounded by investors who:

Understand the grind because they're living it too

Celebrate your wins like they're their own

Challenge you to think bigger while giving you the roadmap to get there

Look like you, think like you, and are committed to building generational wealth

By the time you leave the OILI Experience, you'll have...

A clear, personalized real estate action plan for 2027

Tactical strategies you can implement immediately (no fluff, just action)

A community of investors who will support you long after the weekend ends

Renewed confidence that you CAN build wealth that lasts

Proof that you're not alone—and you're built for this

What to Expect Each Day

friday | 3pm - 10pm

They're Still Here

Friday night is the ignition. After years of rising rates, market whiplash, and deals that didn't close, the fact that you're still standing means everything. This evening is designed to remind you of that — and to set the tone for everything that follows. You'll hear an opening talk that reframes exactly why you're in this room, then settle in for a one-of-a-kind fireside conversation on Black economic empowerment and the long game. Then three real investors take the stage and tell the truth about what it actually took to stay in. By the time you sit down to dinner with the full community, you won't just feel inspired — you'll feel like you belong here.

SATURDAY | 9AM - 4PM (Conference) | 7PM - 11PM (OILI Awards Experience)

This Is What It Looks Like

Saturday is proof in motion. The morning starts with real investor stories and deep foundation teaching — the strategies that work right now, not in theory. You'll move through focused sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are, whether you're working toward your first property or managing double-digit doors. Lunch puts you at a table with OILI coaches and investors who get it. The afternoon shifts into advanced sessions, implementation work, and the moment that brings it all together. Then we get dressed up. The evening closes with the OILI Awards Gala — a Black Tie celebration honoring Black and Brown real estate investors from across the country who refused to quit. This is the family reunion and the victory lap all in one night.

SUNDAY | 1Oam - 2pm

Stay With Us

We close the weekend the way we live—rooted in faith and focused on what lasts. Sunday morning begins with a praise and worship experience that reminds us why we're building in the first place: for our families, for our futures, for the generations coming after us. Then we dive into the conversations that matter most—how to protect what you've built, how to pass it down, and how to create wealth that your children's children will benefit from. This isn't just about buying properties; it's about building legacy. By 2:00 PM, you'll walk away with more than notes and business cards. You'll leave with clarity, with community, and with the renewed conviction that you're built to last.

I'm Ready to Join

What You'll Learn:

Sessions Built for Real Investors,
Real Problems, Real Solutions

Over three days, you'll attend keynotes, breakout sessions, and workshops covering everything from your first deal to scaling to financial freedom. Here's a preview of what we're covering:

1. Real Estate 101: I'm Ready to Buy, Now What?

Stop spinning your wheels trying to figure out which strategy is "right." In this session, you'll walk through a decision framework that matches YOUR life, income, and goals to the perfect investment strategy—whether that's house hacking, turnkey rentals, STRs, or land. You'll leave with a personalized 90-day action plan and clarity on your exact next three steps.

2. From Cubicle to Cash Flow: The Real Blueprint for Leaving Your 9-5

Everyone asks, "How did you afford to quit?" but no one breaks down the actual numbers. In this session, Erika and her coaching team pull back the curtain on the EXACT process they used to transition from W2 to full-time investor—including how much rental income you really need, how to structure the exit, and how to have "the conversation" with your family. No fluff. Just the real plan that worked.

3. Family Land 101: Turning Heir Property Into Income & Legacy

If you've inherited family land (or know it's coming), this session is a must. Learn how to navigate the legal complexities of heir property, resolve family disputes, clear titles, and transform that land into income-generating wealth. Whether you're building on it, developing it, or preserving it for the next generation—this is your roadmap.

4. Passports & Portfolios: How to Invest Internationally (And Why You Should)

Diversification isn't just about property types—it's about geography. Discover how everyday investors are buying property abroad to hedge against market shifts, tap into lower costs of living, and create lifestyle flexibility. We'll cover the real logistics: financing, legal considerations, property management from afar, and the best countries for Black American investors right now.

5. Boost Your Bottom Line: Short-Term & Mid-Term Rental Profit Secrets

If you're tired of mediocre cash flow, this session will change that. Learn the strategies top STR and MTR hosts use to maximize profits—from dynamic pricing and hospitality upgrades to targeting the right guests (travel nurses, corporate relocations, etc.). Walk away knowing exactly how to increase your nightly rates and occupancy without increasing your stress.

6. Keep Your Money: How to Legally Pay $0 in Taxes as a Real Estate Investor

Stop handing 25-35% of your income to the IRS. The tax code rewards real estate investors—but only if you know how to use it. This session breaks down depreciation, cost segregation, and the deductions most investors miss. You'll learn the exact strategies that allow full-time investors to pay little to no federal income tax (legally) and how to work with a CPA who actually gets it.

7. Building Wealth From the Ground Up: Land Development & New Construction

Ready to go beyond buying existing properties? This session covers the basics of land development and building from scratch—finding land, working with builders, financing construction, and the profit potential of creating something new. Whether you're building your dream property or developing for profit, you'll learn what it really takes and whether it's right for you.

8. Your Network IS Your Net Worth: Building Authentic Investor Relationships

The investors who scale fastest aren't the smartest—they're the most connected. In this interactive session, you'll learn how to build a powerful investor network without being salesy or fake. We'll cover how to find your "money people," how to add value to relationships before you ask for anything, and how to turn casual connections into joint venture partners, private lenders, and lifelong collaborators.

9. Property Management Made Simple: Avoiding the Mistakes That Cost You Thousands

Bad property management can destroy your cash flow and your sanity. This session is your crash course in doing it right—whether you're self-managing or hiring it out. Learn the do's and don'ts of tenant screening, maintenance systems, lease agreements, and conflict resolution. We'll also cover when it makes sense to DIY vs. hire a PM, and how to hold your property manager accountable if you do.

10. Co-Living 101: How to Turn One Property Into Multiple Revenue Streams

Co-living allows landlords to generate 30-50% higher monthly revenue by renting individual rooms instead of entire units. In this session, you'll learn the fundamentals of the co-living model—from property selection and tenant screening to pricing strategies and house management. Discover how to maximize returns on your existing properties while providing quality, affordable housing options for working professionals and young adults. If you're looking to increase cash flow without buying more properties, this strategy could be your next move.

...and more!

This is Erika Brown,

and she built this event for investors like you — because she was you.

Erika is a living example of how your story doesn't have to end the way the world tries to write it.

She's the daughter of a man who grew up sharecropping in the rural south and a woman who was the second oldest of 7 children living in a two-room house in Louisiana. A Black girl who grew up south of Dallas, got pregnant before getting married, and had to get a job before getting a degree. She worked her way up the ladder of a corporate job for many years before leaving to pursue her own dreams in Real Estate.

Despite starting with no money, poor credit, and a lack of resources, Erika went from burnt-out and over-committed to scaling from 0 to 38 doors with a portfolio worth more than $5 million—in just a few years. She went from living paycheck to paycheck to having financial options.

With God's grace, hard work, and surrounding herself with inspirational people, she turned a career as a Real Estate Agent into a multi-million dollar real estate empire that generates over six figures annually. Her portfolio spans multifamily properties, single family homes, land ownership, commercial properties, short-term/mid-term rentals, Section 8 rentals, and home building.

But here's what matters most: Erika created the OILI Experience because she knows what it's like to build alone. She knows what it's like to walk into spaces where you're the only one who looks like you, where your background makes you an outsider instead of an asset. She built this event to be the space she wished existed when she was starting out.

Now, she's a natural problem solver who helps others overcome the challenges of real estate investing—not just with strategies, but with the community and support that makes those strategies stick.

Her passion? To help you create passive income through real estate so you can be freed up to pursue what God has truly called you to do.

Here's What Past Attendees Are Saying:

The OILI conference was one of the most powerful conferences I've ever attended. The knowledge, the vibes, and the community was all better than expected.

Jaime

The OILI conference was amazing! It was a true family vibe! I was surrounded by nothing but cousins! Erika, the speakers, and the community gave me the tools I needed to start my real estate investment journey! I was in the dating phase for a while, but I finally put a ring on it! Lol. IYKYK

Corey

the set up

Here's What I Know About You...

You're still reading this because something in you knows you're meant for more.
You've survived the hard years. The rising interest rates. The economic uncertainty. The voices telling you to quit.
You're still here. And that means something.
But here's the truth:
The investors who make it aren't the ones with the most money, the perfect timing, or the best market. They're the ones who refuse to build alone.
The OILI Experience isn't just about learning new strategies (though you'll get plenty of those). It's about joining a community that sees you, supports you, and reminds you that you're built to last.
Three days. 200 investors. One mission.
Build wealth that your family gets to keep. Build it in community that feels like family. Build it with a plan that works in any market.

The question isn't whether you can afford to come. The question is whether
you can afford not to.
