REI Foundation Seminars: Real Estate as a Business

REI Business Foundation Seminars

Running your Real Estate business as a BUSINESS

6 DVDs – 14 hours. Intermediate-to-Advanced level

This is a recording of a 2-day seminar taught at the Wealth Club of Houston by

Multi-millionaire investor Tom Berry,
RE accountant Michael Plaks, and
RE attorney Steve Newsom

Day 1 – Intermediate: Running “solo” RE business professionally

Day 2 – Advanced: Running “team” RE business professionally

Why did we teach this class? What did we mean saying “as a business” – isn’t every real estate business a business? Not really!



Tired of working this hard and not catching a big break? Anybody can find and buy a house, rehab it and eventually sell. But are you doing it

  • consistently?
  • efficiently?
  • and profitably?

If not, or if you want to do it better – this is YOUR class. You can continue to rely on luck – or you can learn to do it professionally and reap the financial and emotional rewards.

Do you know how the big players were able to get to their level? We do! Tom is a multi-millionaire investor himself. Michael and Steve consulted hundreds of investors, from newbies to Tom’s elite level. It’s time for your business to catch up!

Here is a fun challenge that will prove you that you need this class: take this 12-question multiple-choice quiz and email us your answers for friendly “grading.” I bet you cannot get more than half of these questions right, or can you?

Real Estate Accounting - Michael Plaks

Day 1 – Intermediate: Running “solo” RE business professionally

Solo business is where we all start. Your office can be a laptop on your kitchen table – or even a table outside your favorite Starbucks. This is not a problem! In fact, a “real” office is not a requirement at all.

When we say “professionally” is not how your business looks but how it operates. The word you will hear repeated the most throughout our seminar is systems. Systems is what differentiates a smoothly operating and, most importantly, highly PROFITABLE business from his sloppy struggling so-called competitors.

What specific systems do you need? We’re glad you asked! Because this is exactly what we’re focusing on during the first half of the workshop.

The topic of the first day of training:

  • How to put your REI marketing on auto-pilot
  • Correct business structure for your REI business
  • How to pay yourself correctly
  • Hiring employees vs contractors
  • Business contracts and lawsuits
  • Managing business cash flow
  • Why buying QuickBooks cannot stop your bookkeeping headaches
  • Asset protection for RE investors
  • How to stay off the IRS target list


Day 2 – Advanced: Running “team” RE business professionally

So, now we have the basics covered. It is time to move to the next level and grow the business.

Real Estate Accounting - Michael PlaksYou will need people. As Tom likes to repeat, real estate is a team sport. And like with any team, your business team requires more skills and more knowledge on your part.

  • Raising money for your REI business
  • Leveraging your negotiating power
