Thanks for Connecting with Us at BPCON 2025!

We had an incredible time in Las Vegas meeting fellow investors, learning from industry pros, and connecting with people who believe in doing real estate the right way. From insightful sessions to spontaneous hallway conversations, this year’s BiggerPockets Conference reminded us why we love being part of such a thoughtful, motivated community of investors.

Lessons From the 'Upside Era'

The theme of this year’s conference was the Upside Era—a reminder that even in a challenging market, opportunity is everywhere for investors who adapt, stay informed, and think long-term.

Here are a few takeaways we’re carrying home:

The market is tougher, but it’s still the best path to financial independence.

Strong wage growth and demographic tailwinds are shaping sustainable rent trends.

Investors who succeed now are precise, informed, and rely on their networks.

The market isn’t your enemy—it’s your counterpart. The key is to stay flexible and keep learning.

Highlights from the Week

Between sessions on creative financing and coffee chats with new friends, BPCON 2025 was packed with great ideas and even better people. Here are a few of our favorite moments from the week.
