Revolutionizing Real Estate Training
Real estate training has faced criticism for quite some time. Many students enter with high hopes but often leave feeling disappointed. Samuel Lees aims to change that dynamic.
The price for joining his Property Investor Academy is £12,000, yet hundreds sign up annually across the UK. Why? Simply put, it offers something quite rare: unlimited support, direct access to a highly qualified professional team, and even funding for property trades.
“When people hear the price, their minds jump to seminars and a few online videos,” Samuel remarks. “But that’s not it. It’s a comprehensive one-year business ecosystem focused on achieving results.”
Unlimited Guidance from Real Experts
Members have the opportunity to book personalized calls with a Chartered Accountant, Lawyer, Surveyor, or Mortgage Advisor—expenses covered by the Academy. “We spend over £1 million annually on experts so our members don’t have to,” Samuel explains. “That means your support team is ready from day one.”
Additionally, there’s ongoing mentorship from successful real estate professionals who have built their own portfolios. Members can schedule daily calls for feedback on their deals, negotiations, and strategies.
What’s more, Samuel has integrated AI mentors trained on the entire real estate curriculum, available for questions around the clock. “If you want to know the HMO rules in Nottingham at 2 a.m., just ask,” he adds.
Live Mastermind Sessions and Networking
Every weekday features a live virtual mastermind where members can discuss deals, overcome challenges, and share progress. Samuel also organizes informal Sunday meet-ups for those interested in connecting offline, whether it’s through church, the gym, or boxing.
Furthermore, there are monthly networking dinners, regional meet-ups across the UK, and a private platform called Samuel Social, where members can celebrate their achievements and exchange ideas in a supportive environment.
Real Support and Accountability
Members can submit live trades for feedback, asking things like, “Please rate my transaction.” They can host sessions, upload renovation videos for cost estimates, and share negotiation notes for critique.
“Feedback is instant,” Samuel emphasizes. “Speed is crucial when learning about real estate. If you hit a wall, you can get help within hours.”
Every member also participates in weekly Power Team Hours with industry experts who share the latest insights on lending, taxes, and legal developments. “I don’t need to read the news,” he adds. “We just have to stay connected with our power team.”
Funding and Legal Protection
What makes this academy stand out is Samuel’s ability to fund real estate projects through his lending venture, Samuel Rees Finance, offering up to 80% loan-to-value for approved members.
“We’re the only training company that can actually finance your real estate project,” he says. “You learn, you find deals, and we assist with funding.”
To safeguard its growing membership, the Academy has implemented its own mediation and dispute resolution system, PIMS, ensuring fairness and independence in all business disputes.
A Proven System
All training is CPD accredited, comprising 18 comprehensive property courses and three virtual financial freedom challenges. Each challenge spans four days and is conducted over Zoom and WhatsApp in small groups, led by industry leaders.
Graduates are celebrated at an annual ceremony, with 86% of them achieving financial independence, earning at least £2,000 monthly.
“The £12,000 is an investment, not just an expense,” Samuel notes. “Most people recoup it within a few months. But truly, the lasting value lies in the skill set and network you build.”
