For real estate investors / educators
Reign for real estate investors / educators. Real estate investor education + deal community.
Real estate educators use BiggerPockets + Mastermind on Zoom + Skool - 3 tools, no integrated deal-share workflow.
Reign + Learnomy + BuddyNext for a course and deal-share community where members analyze investments together. Both plugins install free; LearnDash is the alternative.
Course library, deal-share threads and the member feed, free to install. You buy the Reign theme; Learnomy and BuddyNext are ours and install free.

What the site looks like on day one.
You launch with a course holding your education, a deal discussion space and a member directory. Modules teach the method, the community is where members discuss actual deals, and the directory helps people find partners. Deal discussion is what members pay for; the course is what gets them through the door.
What a member actually does.
A member buys the course, works through it, and starts reading the deal threads. The shift from student to participant happens when they post a deal of their own for feedback, which is intimidating and needs encouraging. By a few months in the active members are doing business with each other, which is the point at which the community becomes genuinely hard to leave.
How this usually makes money.
Course sales at a few hundred to a few thousand, plus an ongoing membership at $30 to $100 a month for the deal community. The recurring layer matters more than the course here, because education sells once and a network compounds. Live events and masterminds sell to the same list at higher prices.
The mistake to avoid.
Selling the course and neglecting the community. Education is consumed and finished, so a course-only membership churns as soon as somebody reaches the end. The deal discussion is the recurring product; invest in making it active before writing more modules.
Real estate investor / educator-specific questions.
How does this compare to BiggerPockets Pro?
BiggerPockets has the brand. Your niche community wins on depth: pick one strategy (multifamily, mobile home parks, etc.) and own that audience.
How do members share deal details?
In private groups with clear rules about what may be posted, because deal specifics can be commercially sensitive. Set expectations before launch and moderate consistently; a leak in a deal community is a reputational problem you do not recover from quickly.
Can I run different tiers?
Yes, and most do: a lower tier for the course and general discussion, a higher one for deal flow and direct access. Membership tiers gate both. Keep the tier structure simple, because complexity at checkout costs conversions.
What keeps people subscribed?
Other members, not your content. Education is consumed and finished; a network where deals and partners appear is ongoing. Invest in making the community active before adding more course material.
Should deal discussion be private?
Yes, in private groups with clear rules. Deal specifics can be commercially sensitive and sometimes legally so. Set the expectations before launch and enforce them, because a leak destroys the trust the community runs on.
How do I vet members?
An application or a paid tier is usually enough. Payment filters heavily on its own. For a deal community the quality of members matters more than the number, and it is worth turning people away.
