Starting a real estate business—Discover essential steps, tips, and strategies for starting a real estate business.

What are the basics of starting a real estate business? Well, I’m sure you have a lot of questions, which is why we’ve brought a very special guest today, Brian O’Neill, to discuss this. 

Many business owners face significant challenges when it comes to buying or selling a home; because your income comes from your own business, the bank creates serious hurdles to qualifying for a mortgage. And selling a home through a bank comes with its own headaches and costs that can eat into your profits. What can you do?

Brian O’Neill is an entrepreneur who specializes in the real estate “terms” niche, circumventing the banks entirely.

Brian O’Neill was born in New York and moved to Florida at age 5 and spent most of his life there. He attended Florida State University and then at the age of 30 he moved to Chicago. Brian has been there for 17 years now and has a wonderful wife, Katie, who he has been married to for 10 years. They have a 9 year old son named Will. They love spending time together and taking family vacations, just the 3 of them. In his spare time, Brian likes to play golf, read, and play sports with his son.
