How to Run a Real Estate Business

One of the biggest mistakes real estate investors make is treating their portfolio like a passive investment rather than an active business. If you aren’t careful, you aren’t buying freedom—you are just buying yourself a high-paying job.

In this video, Gino Barbaro breaks down the 5 Key Functions required to run an efficient, scalable real estate business. Most “gurus” only teach you how to buy and finance a deal (the sexy parts), but they ignore the operations and management that actually make the deal profitable. Learn how to move from being an overworked landlord to a true business executive.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Job vs. Business: Why most entrepreneurs inadvertently sign up for a “job” when they start investing, and how to shift to a business mindset.
✅ The Unsexy Truth: Marketing and Operations aren’t glamorous, but they are the only way to scale, find off-market deals, and attract top talent.
✅ The Property Log: The essential tool you need for every single asset (whether you have 1 unit or 1,800) to track CapEx, vendors, and maintenance history.
✅ Vision vs. Infrastructure: How to balance the “Entrepreneur” who wants to grow with the “Investor” who needs to protect capital.
