### Setting Up Your Real Estate Investing Business — What Actually Matters

Most new real estate investors don’t fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they waste time, money, and focus on the wrong things. This event cuts through the noise and shows you exactly how to set up your real estate investing business the right way from day one.

We’ll walk through the do’s and don’ts of launching an REI operation, breaking down what is critical, what is optional, and what is a complete distraction sold by people who’ve never actually done deals. You’ll learn how to structure your business, protect yourself, position for funding, and build a foundation that supports real transactions — not just education and hype.

This session focuses on practical execution, not theory. You’ll see how real operators prioritize entity setup, banking, funding readiness, deal flow, and team building — and why things like logos, websites, and fancy branding come after revenue, not before.
By the end of this event, you’ll know:

• What must be done before you ever put a property under contract
• The most common setup mistakes that stall investors for years
• What lenders, partners, and capital sources actually care about
• How to avoid over-engineering your business and under-executing deals
• Where to spend your first dollar — and where not to spend it

If you’re serious about real estate investing and want clarity instead of confusion, this event will reset your priorities and put you on a path that leads to deals, funding, and scale — not busywork.

Should a real estate investor get a real estate license? Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into.
In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: what makes you more money and gives you more leverage.
You’ll learn:

• When being licensed helps investors win (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow)
• How investors use a license to create extra profit centers (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways)
• The truth about MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals
• How licensing impacts wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures
• What brokerages don’t tell you: fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements
• When it’s smarter to partner with an agent instead of becoming one
• A simple decision framework: licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model

You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
