The 5 Best Real Estate Investment Conferences in 2018

There are a lot of real estate investment conferences out there that claim to teach you what you need to know in order to successfully earn a passive income through investing in real estate.  If you want to learn how to make money investing in real estate, there are two key things you should do on a regular basis: connect with experts in real estate investing and network with people who are looking to grow their real estate holdings just like you. You can learn so much from both of these groups and the best way to see both at the same time is to attend a conference or two each year.

We have looked through the list and pulled out the five best conferences for you to attend.

Mark your calendars now and get ready to hear great speakers, go to fun venues, and start your journey to earning good money!

April 6-15, 2018

Two days on land in Ft. Lauderdale and seven days at sea

Cost:

• The cost for the Summit at Sea ranges widely from $4,897 – $9,997. Price depends largely on the type of room that you choose on the cruise ship and how many people (if any) share your room. Refer to the registration form for a detailed pricing breakdown. The cost also includes just about every expense from the entire summit: three nights in a hotel, complete cruise fare (including taxes), nearly all meals, ground transportation to the ship, private parties, and expert presentations and roundtable discussions (for both days on land and four of the days at sea). So there is a lot of bang for your many bucks.

Speakers Include:

• Robert Helms & Russell Gray – The Real Estate Guys podcast
• Robert Kiyosaki – Rich Dad, Poor Dad podcast
• Peter Schiff – Founder, CEO, and Global Strategist at Euro-Pac Capital
• Chris Martenson – Economic Researcher, Futurist, and Co-founder of Peak Prosperity

Who Should Attend:

As it says on the website, this real estate investment conference is not cheap, but it’s worth it. The expertise of the “faculty” (what they call speakers) and the amount of time that you as a participant have access to them is something that is unmatched in other conferences. This is an elite group and there is a limited number of participant places at the summit. Last year they limited it to 200 and sold out. This year 150 spots were claimed immediately by alumni, so they arranged accommodations for more people, but they are still likely to sell out. If you are serious about learning from expert professionals with decades of experience in the real estate investment business, and if you are honestly ready to begin building your own real estate empire, than making the investment into attending the Summit at Sea is a good move.

November 1-4, 2018

New Orleans, LA

Cost:

• $595 – Gold Club Primary Attendee
  • Q&A with speakers
  • Special reports and newsletters
  • Discounts on recordings
  • Private viewing area
  • All-day coffee service
• $350 – Gold Club Guest Attendee

Past speakers include Margaret Thatcher, Gen. Colin Powell, William F. Buckley, and Dr. Henry Kissinger. This conference is the place to meet the most sophisticated investors, learn new strategies, plan for your future, and exchange ideas with like-minded people. If you are a private investor with a growing portfolio, this conference is for you.

November 2-5, 2018

Boston, MA

Cost:

• To Be Determined (Registration is not yet open for the 2018 conference – continue to check the website for updated information)

So you know that the conference organizers will work hard to make this year’s lineup of speakers just as great, if not better.

Who Should Attend:

This real estate investment conference is all things real estate, from the basics of buying and selling to tax reform to dispelling condo confusion to current market trends. This conference is obviously happening at about the same time as the New Orleans Investment Conference.
