Real Estate Consulting Help For Entrepreneurs Starting Their Own Real Estate Investment Company
One of the consequences of The Great Recession is that tremendous real estate opportunities have been created.
With the unprecedented number of foreclosures, refinancing problems and economic woes dominating the news and views of so many, real estate has been categorically dismissed by the general public as a viable investment option. As a result, major opportunities are now emerging from all the noise that offer immense profit potential.
Many entrepreneurs see the current real estate market as an urgent focal point for the formation of their new company that is focused on tapping this opportunity before it disappears.
However, many of these folks who want to grab a piece of this potential don’t have the time, the full expertise, the systems, procedures and processes or some other pivotal missing piece of the puzzle to get to their Point B. This is especially true if they want to navigate the shark-infested waters of raising investor capital from venture capital or angel investors.
Real Estate IS Both Complex And Complicated
Irrespective of how many real estate “gurus” trivialize buying and operating income property, it is NOT for everyone.
Even if you’ve taken a half dozen guru courses on how to get rich in real estate, trust me when I tell you that you are still not prepared to go it alone. There are simply too many ways you can make multiple, critical, unrecoverable mistakes.
Real estate investment, particularly in income property, is not for the half trained entrepreneur – UNLESS – you have an experienced real estate consultant who can help guide and protect you from all the things that can go wrong with both the purchase side and the operating side of the business.
Real estate is both complex and complicated – but it can be a fantastically profitable business if done right.

Real Estate Consulting Services – Two Focal Points
My Real Estate ImpleMentor Service and Virtual Exec Service include these two focal points:
- The success of your real estate company and its effective formation, capitalization and operation.
- Your success with acquiring and operating the right properties that match your overall company strategy.
The investment, purchase, ownership, occupancy, and disposition of commercial real estate can be overwhelming complex – constantly producing uncountable challenges and opportunities – with new, potentially lethal, dragons challenging you at every turn.
Effectively identifying, analyzing and resolving even the most common issues surrounding real estate, and real estate organizations, can take expertise that is only gained through years of senior-level, hands-on experience and practice.
With my ImpleMentor Management Consulting Service for Real Estate, you have the benefit of my many years of experience helping you define and refine workable real estate objectives and realistic alternatives and solutions to meet your current and future goals.
Experienced Real Estate Consulting Solutions
Here are some of the ways I can help accelerate your own success:
- Company Strategy, Tactics, Business Planning and Implementation: Focused especially on helping startup or growing real estate companies by setting up the fundamental strategy and tactics of your new real estate company: what kind of properties; geographic locations; ideal size of property; develop and validate your general business model; produce a realistic business plan and help with its successful implementation.
- Acquisitions: Valuation analysis; due diligence for property acquisition; contract negotiations; closing document analysis and business review.
- Financial and Investment Analysis: Acquisition opportunities; financing / refinancing packages; sales packages.
- Operational issues – Both Your Company and Your On Site Operations: Personnel; organizational structure; property management; computerization; property maintenance; property supervision; systems and procedures; flow of work; fraud prevention; contract negotiations – both buying and selling; web site presence
- Chaos Planning & Dragon Slaying: Bankruptcy avoidance or implementation; debtor in possession operations; foreclosure; loan renegotiations; employee theft; legal / IRS issues; PR – when it hits the fan; expert witness testimony; shareholder / investor disputes and investigations; condo association disputes and investigations; strategic planning for underperforming, surplus and foreclosed / REO properties; lease renegotiations; litigation support; assistance in resolving real property disputes.
- Funding & Investor Fundraising: Financing; syndication and investor fundraising; private placement, Reg D offerings; securities laws / compliance issues; investor and fundraising strategy; investor relations; investor-oriented web site development and content compliant with securities laws.
- Virtual Exec And Virtual Chief Operating Officer Service: When 30 hour work days are just not enough for the CEO; when you need another senior level, experienced exec to do all that needs to be done; when you need different skill sets and areas of expertise than those currently available from those in the org chart; when there are too many opportunities – and too little time to capitalize on even the great ones; when there are too many dragons – and too little time, and too few swords, to fight just the potentially lethal ones; all the general “T” crossing and “I” dotting deviled details that are always part of real estate operations.
I’ve faced many of these issues with my own $100 million real estate portfolio of 45,000 rental units. I’ve helped clients with all of these issues with their own real estate operations.

Real Estate Consulting – Fees and Details
I am not a broker, attorney or CPA – but, instead, I work with you and your other professional advisors to help you take care of your real estate business so it not only survives – but thrives as we implement your vision.
Virtual Executive Service
Although my billing rate is $250 per hour for Standard Service, my Virtual Executive Service offers you a very cost effective way to reduce my rate to as low as $75 per hour.
Depending on your needs, I can provide senior-level executive services to your company at the reduced rates as low as $75 per hour plus out-of-pocket expenses, based on the committed, minimum number of hours per month shown:
The chart shows how the hourly rate varies by the committed, minimum number of hours per month you need. It also shows how much savings you gain each month from my Virtual Exec Service.
For example, say you choose 40 hours per month of my Virtual Exec Service. This would equate to only a relatively minor $5,000 per month increase in your payroll – a small price to pay in exchange for very senior-level experience and expertise on your payroll for a full week each month – for only as long as you need (minimum of 90 days, maximum of 365 days) and without any of the usual overhead costs. Over six months, my Virtual Exec Service would save you $12,000 compared to my standard rate.
The above price breaks are at 20 hours per month (half a work week per month); 40 hours per month (one work week per month); 80 hours per month (two work weeks per month); and 160 hours per month (four work weeks per month – or, essentially full time.)
How many work weeks per month of additional, senior-level executive talent could you use right now helping you each month at this critical time for your company?
In addition to the greatly reduced hourly rate for my Virtual Exec Services, you also get another major benefit of selecting the Virtual-Exec Service over my standard Mentoring Service: My weekly commitment of time to you will be treated as Priority Service instead of Standard Service.
Hopefully, this approach addresses your particular needs and goals. If not, I would be glad to discuss other alternatives.
