CCREIA Monthly Meeting – August 7, 2025 Topic: Wilmington Investor Richard Stroupe Reveals Hard Lessons & Big Opportunities
Join us Thursday, August 7, 2025, for an exciting evening with seasoned investor and entrepreneur Richard Stroupe. Richard recently acquired The Hive in downtown Wilmington and brings a wealth of experience in real estate, including hospitality, Section 8 housing, multifamily, and student housing projects throughout Wilmington, the NC mountains, and Northern Virginia.
In this candid and insightful session, Richard will share:
Lessons learned (both wins and hard truths) from years of hands-on investing
Behind-the-scenes stories from his diverse projects
Key strategies for navigating today’s market climate
New investor incentives from the recently passed Big, Beautiful Bill—including updated Opportunity Zone rules, cost segregation benefits, and game-changing ways to defer or eliminate capital gains
You’ll also hear how Richard leverages tools from the world of venture capital, private equity, and software development to sharpen his real estate strategy.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to learn from someone who’s actively shaping the Wilmington investment landscape—and generously sharing what he’s learned along the way.
