What is LeverageCon?

LeverageCon was started in 2023 as an extension of National Lending Experts ( NLE ) to address the need for an originations focused event and has grown dramatically, drawing over 1,500 attendee registrations annually in cities like San Diego, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Dallas, Los Angeles and Nashville.

LeverageCon exists to do one thing: connect capital with opportunity. This isn’t your typical networking event—it’s where private lenders, brokers, and real estate investors come together to fund and source real deals in construction, fix-and-flip, and DSCR rental lending. Whether you’re looking for short-term rehab loans, long-term rental financing, or ground-up construction funding, LeverageCon creates a space where deals are not just talked about—they happen.

At the heart of the event is the “Build | Flip | Rent” investment model, covering every stage of real estate investing. Build new properties for long-term wealth, flip distressed assets for fast returns, or convert properties into cash-flowing rentals—all with the right financing and expert connections at your fingertips. By bringing lenders and investors together in one focused environment, LeverageCon supports participants in scaling their business, moving seamlessly between short-term wins and long-term growth, and taking action on real opportunities.

What can attendees expect?

Attendees can expect a high-impact mix of educational sessions, expert panels, and targeted networking, all designed to connect you with the right partners. Curated networking opportunities—from breakfast meet-and-greets and lunch roundtables to evening happy hours—ensure you meet lenders, brokers, and investors actively working on real deals. With access to an interactive exhibit hall and a mobile networking app, LeverageCon makes it easy to discover new funding sources, forge meaningful connections, and engage with peers across every stage of the real estate investment lifecycle.
