The Launch REI Mastermind is built for high earners who are ready to build passive income through real estate but don’t know where to start, who to trust, or how to find the right deals
Applications are now open and price increases as the cohorts fill.
Admissions are vetted and selective.
If you're earning $200K+ and working with a generalist CPA, you're likely losing $20,000 or more per year in missed deductions and inefficient structuring. Real estate has some of the most powerful tax advantages available — but only if your advisor actually knows how to use them.
The best opportunities — off-market syndications, co-GP deals, capital partner introductions — don't get posted online. They move through trusted networks. If you're not in the room where those conversations happen, you're not seeing the deals that actually move the needle.
Nobody in your office is talking about cost segregation, self-directed IRAs, or how to structure a JV. You're figuring it out alone, which means you're figuring it out slowly — and making expensive mistakes that the right room would have helped you avoid.
Most high earners have no idea their 401k or IRA can be deployed into real estate deals. Self-directed accounts, solo 401ks, and IRA-owned LLCs are tools your peers in this room are already using. You just haven't had access to the people who could show you how.
Vetting co-investors, finding capital partners, identifying GPs you can actually trust — that's normally a decade of relationship building. This room compresses that timeline. The people here have already been vetted. You're not sorting through strangers. You're walking into a network that took nine years to build.
With the right deals, you get cash flow while you hold, your principal back faster than a 30-year equity play, and returns that don't move with the S&P. Members in this room are building portfolios that produce income regardless of what the market does on any given Tuesday.
Tax strategists who specialize in real estate investors. Attorneys who structure deals. Capital allocators who've deployed millions. Getting access to those people individually would cost you tens of thousands in fees and years of relationship building. Members here get direct access in one room.
Most investors spend 5–10 years building the network, finding the advisors, and making the mistakes that teach them how this works. The people in this room skipped most of that. You can too. The room is already built — you just have to get in it.
You might be a high earner with capital ready to deploy and no clear path to the right deals or the right people.
You might be an active investor who has already done deals, wants to scale, and is ready to move faster with a community to support you.
You might be an Limited Partner who has written checks into other people’s deals and is ready to start building your own portfolio.
You might be someone who recently left corporate — or is actively planning to — and is using real estate to replace that income over time.
You might be a W2 earner deploying $50k or more annually into investments and ready to do it with better deal flow and better people.
What all of them have in common: they are serious, they have capital in motion, and they are building wealth outside their W2 on their own terms.
This is a room with high quality members who have value to offer to the community.
Vince Crane
Founder, Launch REI
For the 10 founding members only. Price will increase once it is filled. Join the waitlist today.
I remember sitting in a cubicle on the 4th of July when I was 23. It was 80 degrees and sunny outside. I was the only person in the office, required to be there for coverage. I knew in that moment I did not want to be in corporate. I wanted to live. So I chased something more prestigious.
I cold messaged 500 consultants on LinkedIn until two of them gave me a shot. I got into management consulting. But when I looked around, only 10% ever made partner and those who did were working 70 hours a week, grinding themselves into the ground. The other 90% were stuck with $200K of MBA debt going nowhere. I didn’t want that either. So I went to Home Depot corporate. Fortune 100. More relaxed. I hated that too. I started listening to real estate podcasts obsessively. I remember wondering: “what episode number will I be on when I finally leave corporate for good?” Then something changed.
I joined a free real estate meetup. I noticed right away that about 10% of the room were serious, active investors — and 90% were beginners trying to get near them. So I did something simple. I pulled the serious ones aside and started a small group. We had dinner once a month. No agenda. Just real investors talking about real deals. That group changed my life. I grew to the level of the conversations around me. After about nine months, they started asking when I was finally going to quit corporate like they did.
I finally did. I am not sharing this because I think you should quit your job. Many of our members are high earners who love what they do. This is not about quitting anything. It is about building wealth and income outside your W2. Building a lifestyle on your terms. Surrounding yourself with people who are doing the same thing. That small dinner group eventually grew into a 5,000 member real estate community, the largest free investing meetup in the country. I watched hundreds of investors hit a ceiling not because they lacked knowledge, but because they were not in the right environment. This mastermind is designed to be that room for you, on your wealth building journey. A curated room of vetted investors, experts and a community where goal setting, deal flow, partnerships and higher level connections are standard and commonplace.
“In an industry full of talkers, Vince Crane is a doer. His work ethic is unmatched and he approaches every relationship with the same level of passion, commitment, and integrity. I’m proud to call him a friend and colleague in this crazy real estate world we live in.”
Craig Curelop
“I partnered with Vince on the sale of a rental property and quickly saw the quality of his strategic thinking, communication, and execution. The outcome confirmed what his approach suggested from the start: clear thinking leads to strong results. When Vince offers an opinion on strategy or decision-making, it's worth paying attention.”
Dr. Bruce Coleman III
"I’ve had the opportunity to work with Vince and invest in multiple real estate properties, and have consistently been impressed by his professionalism, market knowledge, and ability to execute. His track record of identifying strong opportunities and delivering solid returns speaks for itself.”
David Chen
Vince's work ethic and energy are truly unmatched. His level of professionalism and knowledge about the industry make him my first call for my real estate needs. He is a true problem solver and is a person you can trust to make your deal a win-win.
Juan O'Grady
“I've watched Vince build something truly impressive in real estate. He consistently shows up, follows through, and puts in the work. His knowledge of syndications, deal structure, and investing is incredibly valuable — and the network he's built speaks volumes about his character. If you're looking for someone driven, well-connected, and deeply knowledgeable, Vince is your guy.”
Jesse Whalen
I've collaborated with Vince Crane for years and he consistently brings a rare combination of business savvy and genuine community focus. Vince is the kind of leader who turns ideas into action. He's constantly reading, refining strategies, and bringing innovative ideas to the table. Whether he's closing deals or hosting the Launch REI podcast with thoughtful, in-depth interviews, Vince brings the same level of intentionality and execution. He's not just building his own success — he's creating platforms that help other investors succeed.
Zeona McIntyre
Vince brings a combination of passion and knowledge to the real estate world. He does not just understand real estate at a high level, he eats, sleeps and breathes it day in and day out. If you are looking to learn from someone who genuinely cares, operates with integrity, and knows how to win in this business, Vince is someone you want in your corner.
Colin V
I encourage any serious aspiring or practicing real estate investor to subscribe to the Launch REI podcast, newsletter, and to join the Mastermind. Vince thoughtfully and painstakingly created Launch REI with incredible attention to detail around how it delivers value to its audience. I've watched several episodes of the podcast, and I've found the content of the highest caliber, learning much about various real estate niches from an investor perspective. If you do what I recommend, you will make money in real estate!
Sean Heberling
I have known and worked with Vince for about 7 years now. Vince is an incredible connector, networker, and selflessly puts the needs of others ahead of his own. When it comes to real estate, Vince is in the top percentage of realtors who are abreast of what's happening in the market, using cutting edge marketing strategies, and has an outstanding team behind him.
Hunter Carson
I know Vince as a very professional and easy-to-work-with person, which makes the whole process feel smooth. He demonstrates deep knowledge of real estate and a strong understanding of how things work. I also appreciate how thorough he is you can tell he pays attention to details. He's someone I'd turn to for clear, practical advice on real estate investments.
Aleksei LiapinIf it is a match, you are in. You will be matched with your core group, onboarded, and introduced to the community.
Spots are limited. Not everyone is accepted.
Once the cohort fills, the price increases and this offer closes.
Most investors spend a decade building the network, deal flow, and advisor relationships this room already has. You get access on day one.
Upon applying you will be added to the waitlist for review.
Not a checklist. A mindset.
Launch REI is for investors who meet these standards:
You have capital deployed or actively ready to deploy. You're not here to figure out what real estate is — you're here to do more of it with better judgment and better people beside you.
You're building toward a portfolio that operates without you. You want leverage and ownership, not a second job that demands your attention every day.
You're willing to bring your real numbers, your real mistakes, and your real challenges into the group. No performance. No posturing. The value here depends on it.
You show up to give as much as you receive. You want to make the people around you sharper, not just extract value from being near them.
Every month, one active operator from our podcast network presents a real deal — the full numbers, the decision logic, what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently. These are investors who have closed on multifamily, self-storage, mobile home parks, and more. The session is 60 minutes, recorded, and added to the member library. This is the flagship event — no other mastermind at this level delivers it.
Vince hosts a 60-minute open strategy session for all members. Bring your deals, your decisions, your challenges. This is a working session, not a lecture. The agenda is driven by what the group is actually navigating.
You are placed — not self-selected — into a core group of exactly five investors matched by stage, strategy, and location where possible. Your group meets weekly for 60 minutes: wins, challenges, KPI check-in, commitments for the following week. These are the five people who will know your actual numbers and hold you accountable week after week. This is where real progress happens.
Wednesday Wins — weekly progress posts to keep momentum visible.
Friday Fails — normalized failure sharing that builds genuine trust.
Deal flow discussions and off-market opportunities.
Member directory with investor profiles, deal focus, and experience level.
Direct messaging between members
Completed at onboarding. Your freedom number, current portfolio snapshot, 1-year goal, 3-year vision, deal criteria, and accountability commitments — all on one page. Revisited quarterly so your progress is always visible to you and your core group.
Most masterminds are glorified forums. Launch REI is structured like a private investment board.
Every member is placed into a small, curated peer group — typically five to eight investors at a similar stage — who will know your numbers, understand your portfolio, and track your strategy over time.
These are not contacts. They are the people who:
Say the hard thing. Especially when it's uncomfortable. A truth said kindly is worth more than encouragement that keeps someone stuck.
Core group calls come before everything else. Missing more than one call per month without notice means core group probation. The group only works when everyone shows up.
What's shared in the group stays in the group. Real numbers. Real deals. Real mistakes. Violation means removal. No exceptions.
Monthly deep dives with experienced operators, investors, and specialists focused on tax strategy, market dynamics, structuring, and risk.
Access to our internal frameworks, allocation models, and portfolio-scaling systems.
A private environment for real-time collaboration, vetted connections, and off-market opportunity flow.
