We meet with investors and start-up real estate agents who frequently have the goal of “owning 10 rental properties” or “building passive wealth through real-estate.”

These are terrific goals and we have helped many investors reach these goals, but most people we meet with don’t know where or how to start towards these goals.

This class will show you multiple ways to buy your first investment property and get started on the path to real estate wealth.

We’ll show you real-world properties that were recently closed and give all of the details of how the property was found, how it was financed and what sort of returns are being made on each property.

This is a great class for the first-time real estate investor or a great refresher for seasoned investors to learn how to use some alternative strategies to acquire more properties.

Be part of the Rally in Tally. Gather at the State Capitol during Great American Realtor Days and make a difference — because when Realtors talk, legislators listen.
Everyone wants to be heard, and Great American Realtor® Days is your chance for YOUR opinions to make a difference in the real estate business in Florida. It’s your chance to stand up for your profession and for homeowners across the state.

Held annually in the state Capitol, Great American Realtor Days, or as we like to call it, GARD, gives you the opportunity to travel to Tallahassee and shake hands and meet face-to-face with lawmakers before they weigh decisions that will impact how you do business.

Florida Realtors® 2025 Great American Realtor Days is scheduled for March 4-6.

You’ll be there to make sure our elected leaders have the right information before voting on legislation that could hurt your bottom line, threaten the growth of your business, or make it harder for Floridians to buy their dream homes or sell their properties.

Is something in a real estate transaction complicating the process unnecessarily?
Are escalating insurance premiums driving away buyers?
Does the water quality in your area impact your sales?
What about the taxes coming out of your pocket or the pockets of your clients, are they too high?
These are just a few examples of the issues state lawmakers might consider each year during the annual legislative session.

Your involvement in GARD makes sure the voices of Realtors and homebuyers and sellers are heard. Because your voice, our voice, the REALTOR voice matters.

Make plans to join us for this eye-opening and life-changing experience. Check with your local board to learn more about travel options for delegations.

Transportation to Tallahassee: Florida Realtors assists with transportation costs. If your association brings a bus to GARD, Florida Realtors will reimburse the association up to $1,000.
