Description: Wealthy investors don't pay taxes like everyone else—and your clients don't have to either. This course cuts through the nonsense and teaches you the exact tax strategies sophisticated investors use to defer, reduce, and eliminate capital gains taxes: 1031 exchanges that let clients grow wealth tax-free for decades, cost segregation that generates six-figure deductions overnight, Opportunity Zones with permanent tax benefits, stepped-up basis that wipes out millions in taxes at death, and a handful of lesser-known strategies that can save your clients hundreds of thousands of dollars. You'll learn how to recognize these opportunities, have intelligent conversations with high-net-worth clients, and connect them with the right professionals to execute. This isn't theory—it's the playbook wealthy families have been using for generations. Stop being a transaction coordinator. Become the advisor your clients actually need. 4 hours that will change how you serve investors forever. Total Registration: 9

Session Description In today’s rapidly evolving real estate landscape, understanding appraisal changes and leveraging new technology can give agents a powerful advantage. This interactive, hands-on class explores two timely and impactful topics designed to help REALTORS® strengthen their market knowledge and communicate more effectively during the appraisal process. First, participants will gain a clear and practical understanding of the new Fannie Mae UAD 3.6 Appraisal Report and how the updated format changes the way appraisal data is presented. Agents will learn what these changes mean for their transactions and how to better collaborate with appraisers, anticipate underwriting questions, and help ensure smoother closings. The session also introduces how AI tools can be used to create stronger, data-driven Comparative Market Analyses (CMAs) . Participants will learn how to structure their pricing analysis using methods similar to an appraiser’s approach—allowing them to better support listing prices, present market data to buyers and sellers with confidence, and engage in more informed conversations during property inspections and appraisal reviews. This practical session provides actionable strategies and tools that agents can immediately apply to enhance listing presentations, strengthen buyer consultations, and navigate the appraisal process with greater confidence.

Description: Short-term rentals represent one of the fastest-growing investment opportunities in real estate — and one of the riskiest for agents who don't understand the compliance, financial, and operational complexities that separate successful STR investments from catastrophic mistakes. This course equips agents with the market analysis skills, regulatory knowledge, and platform expertise to become the trusted advisor STR investors can't afford to lose. Agents will learn how to evaluate STR-viable markets using industry data tools, navigate zoning restrictions and HOA traps that kill deals after closing, help clients build realistic financial projections that account for hospitality-level operating costs, and position themselves as the go-to expert in a niche that generates repeat clients and referrals for years. No theory. No fluff. Just the knowledge that protects your clients, protects your license, and builds a specialty practice most agents will never master. Total Registration: 7
