Built for Real Investors

Real estate rewards those who know the numbers — and penalizes those who guess. Markets shift, financing terms change, and every deal carries risk that rigorous analysis can expose before you’ve committed.  RealData brings together expert-led courses, in-depth books, and practical insights covering rental property analysis, cash flow modeling, financing scenarios, valuation, and long-term investment strategy. Whether you’re sizing up your first deal or stress-testing assumptions on a growing portfolio, our resources sharpen the thinking that separates disciplined investors from the rest.

The instructor is particularly impressive; he is not only likable but also exceptionally clear and approachable in his delivery. His expertise is evident, and he effectively breaks down complex concepts into manageable, digestible portions. The course material is well-structured, with new terms and ideas introduced clearly, followed by practical mathematical examples that demonstrate their application to real estate. This method is highly beneficial and aids in bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Additionally, the inclusion of practice problems is a valuable feature, reinforcing the mathematical aspects of the content and enhancing comprehension.

The course's video format is another highlight. Unlike traditional textbook-based learning, the video format allows for greater flexibility. One can listen and learn while attending to other tasks, such as household chores, making the learning process less demanding and more convenient. This format adds to the overall manageability of the course.

I recently had the privilege of being one of the first real estate students at The University of Alabama to complete the RealData Mastering Real Estate Investing course by Frank Gallinelli. This course allowed me to deepen my knowledge in real estate transactions and provided me with real life applications and case studies which is an incredible resource looking towards my career.

Jessica Stockton King, (former) Senior Associate Director, Academic Affairs Columbia University, Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) Program

Frank's course is a great resource, and provides a solid foundation for students to feel confident and prepared the day the program starts. I've even had graduate students decide to purchase it closer to the end of their studies, so they can use it as an occasional refresher, especially if they decide to go down a more entrepreneurial path. Frank is so organized and adept at explaining things, and the course is thoughtfully structured in many smaller manageable units, so you can click into it even when you have eight minutes between meetings.

Michael Cates

Thank you, Frank, for developing such a concise, comprehensive, and practical real estate investment course!... You have really helped me learn the language of real estate investment, how to thoughtfully analyze a project and ultimately how to realize value!"

John Cameli

I found the course to be the perfect complement to your book. I appreciated the fact that each video is short which allows the user to digest the material in a simple fashion. I also like the fact that you incorporated a quiz to test my knowledge of each concept. All in all it was really what I was hoping for and I have way more confidence today when analyzing income properties than I did before the course.

Troy Joseph

Your course has changed my mindset and the way that I view real estate. ...Thank you for giving me the knowledge, confidence and courage to start my real estate investing career - now it's time to put it into action.
