The Real Estate Investor’s Seminar hosted by Capri Jet Realty Corp. on March 27th brought together a diverse group of aspiring and experienced investors for an evening of practical insights and expert advice. Held at Ocean Prime in Maspeth, the event provided attendees with essential tools and strategies to help them navigate today’s real estate market.
In an effort to empower investors with the knowledge necessary for making informed decisions, the event covered a range of crucial topics including property financing, inspections, legal considerations, market trends, and investment strategies. Expert speakers took the stage to provide a comprehensive look at real estate investment and offer actionable advice.
Robert Napolitano, Associate Real Estate Broker at Capri Jet Realty, spoke with enthusiasm about the event’s purpose.
“Investing in real estate can be a game-changer, but knowledge is key,” he said. “We created this seminar to help investors—whether they’re just starting out or have years of experience—make smart, strategic moves in today’s market.”
One of the seminar’s highlights was a dynamic panel discussion, which featured a mix of experienced investors and legal professionals. The panel offered real-world examples and gave attendees the chance to hear from those who have successfully navigated the real estate market. The open discussion that followed allowed guests to directly engage with the experts, providing even further opportunities for learning and networking.
“It’s all about educating our clients on what’s happening in the market,” said Napolitano. “Tonight, we’re not just discussing how to buy or sell properties, but also things like utilizing tax strategies or understanding the mortgage landscape—that can lead to greater financial success.”
Among the speakers was Mario Saggese, a CPA and tax consultant, who addressed the tax implications of real estate transactions.
“People who own properties often need guidance on how much tax they’ll pay when selling, particularly in areas like capital gains taxes,” Saggese said. “At this event, we’re not only helping them understand the tax aspects, but also offering strategies—like the 1031 exchange—to help defer those taxes.”
The event also featured a presentation from a mortgage broker and a home inspector, providing critical information on securing financing and ensuring the quality of investment properties.
Napolitano also emphasized the importance of working with a qualified real estate agent to achieve the highest returns on property sales. “Our job is to put the needs of our clients first,” he said. “Whether they’re buying or selling, our goal is to ensure they’re getting the best deal.”
Throughout the evening, attendees had the opportunity to network with fellow investors, realtors, and professionals, establishing connections that could lead to future collaborations or investment deals.
As seats were limited, those who attended were eager to make the most of the rare opportunity. The seminar’s success has sparked considerable interest in future events, with many attendees expressing a desire for more in-depth sessions.
“We want our clients to leave with a full understanding of all the tools available to them when making decisions about real estate investments,” said Napolitano.
For those who missed the event, Capri Jet Realty Corp. has announced plans for additional seminars and networking opportunities aimed at empowering the next generation of real estate investors.
