Spots are filling fast. Once this room is full, it's full.

Lazaro Vento. They call him Laz. Confirmed for CREIC. November 6-7, 2026. Miami.

Before Airbnb had ten listings in the entire city of Miami, Laz was already stacking reservations.

He started selling Bentleys, Rolls-Royces, and Bugattis. Best year? $400K. Then he bet everything on a cigar lounge and lost $2.5 million. House gone. Savings gone.

All he had left was a real estate license and the audacity to knock on doors in Little Haiti when everyone else called it the ghetto.

He rented every house on the block. Put them all on Airbnb. Bought a tiny house for $1,500 off Facebook Marketplace and turned it into a destination. Built systems that became the regulatory blueprint for short-term rentals in the entire state of Florida.

Made $500K in two days selling mentorships. Highest ticket? $22,000. And unlike the gurus who never owned a single listing... Laz had receipts.

Last deal? Turned a $500K property into a $2M exit in seven months.

500 spots. When they're gone, they're gone.

Because nobody in the history of conferences has ever dreaded a trip to Miami in November.

But this isn't just vibes and palm trees. Miami has quietly become one of the most important commercial real estate markets in the country. And CREIC is planting its flag right in the middle of it.

The Numbers

• South Florida posted $16 billion in commercial real estate sales in 2025 — highest since 2017
• Investment sales surged 35% year-over-year
• CBRE ranked Miami the #2 target city for CRE investment, with 70% of investors planning to acquire more
• Office vacancy in Miami-Dade dropped 70 basis points — one of the best improvements in the country
• Class A rents in Brickell pushing $73/sq ft, up over 50% since 2020
• 127 companies relocated to Miami-Dade since 2020, occupying 2.2 million square feet

This isn't a beach town with some office buildings. This is an institutional-grade market that happens to have incredible weather.

The Cardone Effect

Love him or hate him, Grant Cardone put Miami on the map for commercial real estate. $5 billion AUM. 10X Corporate Centre in North Miami. Real Estate Summits drawing thousands. He didn't just invest in Miami — he branded it. And who knows, maybe Mr. 10X himself will be in the room at CREIC.

What's Next

The first three episodes were the foundation. Origin. Vision. City. Now the podcast pivots into what's actually moving in commercial real estate — capital raising, fund structures, LP psychology, deal flow, and the trends shaping the market heading into 2026 and beyond.

Commercial Real Estate Investment Conference
📍 Miami, FL
📅 November 6-7, 2026
👥 500 high achievers. Free general admission. 50 VIP spots.

🎟️ RSVP FREE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1983844176335

The room is being built. Tell your wife to start packing.

The commercial real estate conference scene is in retreat. Events that used to draw thousands are scaling back, going virtual, or quietly disappearing. While everyone else pulls back, CREIC Miami is pushing forward.

500 isn't a cap. It's the foundation. Year one. The floor, not the ceiling.

CREIC is modeled after what a good friend has built in a completely different sector - a resource investment conference that started in a room and grew into one of the biggest gatherings in its entire industry. Same playbook, applied to commercial real estate.

The first 500 people set the DNA. Fund managers. Operators. Capital raisers. LPs who actually deploy. When this grows to 5,000+, the people in the room for year one are the ones who shaped the culture.
