Founder of Real Estate 101

In just 3 ½ years, Peter transformed those dreams into reality, becoming a multi-millionaire through strategic commercial real estate investing. As the co-author of the best-selling book Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies, Peter has guided over 100,000 students to success, making him one of the most trusted names in the industry.
But Peter’s mission goes beyond building wealth. He’s passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their financial futures. Through Real Estate 101 and the Commercial Dream Partner Program, he shares the tools, strategies, and mentorship that helped him succeed, proving that anyone can create a life of abundance with the right guidance.
💡 “I know what it’s like to start from scratch. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to helping others achieve financial freedom, one property at a time.”
– Peter Conti
I’m looking forward to your success!
Paul Thompson isn’t just the CEO of Real Estate 101—he’s a living example of the transformation that commercial real estate can create. From humble beginnings in Little Rock, Arkansas, Paul grew up in a modest household where financial security was a dream, not a reality. With determination and grit, he climbed the corporate ladder after earning an engineering degree from the University of Arkansas. But a turning point in his career revealed a greater calling: to escape the grind of the 9-to-5 and create a life of financial freedom.
💡 “Commercial real estate is the ultimate wealth-building tool. It gives you cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits—all while someone else is paying off your mortgage.”
Paul’s story is one many can relate to—a high-achieving corporate professional who felt trapped by the demands of his job. The moment that changed everything? A beach vacation with his family where a heartless “no” from his boss forced him to cut the trip short. That was when Paul made a promise: he would never let someone else’s permission dictate time with his loved ones again.
💡 “That drive home was a turning point. I realized I needed to break free from the corporate grind and create a life where I called the shots. Real estate became my path to freedom.”
Starting with single-family homes, Paul bought one property every month for over three years, building a portfolio of 40 units. But it was when he discovered commercial real estate that everything changed. With one deal, Paul could achieve the same scale and income as managing dozens of smaller properties.
Fast forward to today: Paul has been part of thousands of real estate transactions, owns over 2,000 units, and co-sponsors multi-million-dollar commercial deals with Peter Conti. Together, they teach others how to replicate this success through the Commercial Dream Partner Program.
Paul Thompson is a master strategist, seasoned investor, and leader in the world of commercial real estate. With thousands of deals under his belt and a reputation for empowering investors to think bigger, Paul brings an unparalleled depth of expertise to Real Estate 101.
Featured on top industry platforms like BiggerPockets, Best Real Estate Investing Advice Ever, and The Real Estate Syndication Show, Paul is known for breaking down complex strategies into actionable steps that yield extraordinary results.
Paul is laser-focused on creating opportunities for investors to scale their portfolios and achieve their financial goals. He spearheads the Commercial Dream Partner Program, connecting investors with life-changing commercial deals while providing hands-on guidance every step of the way.
💡 “My goal is simple: to help you leverage the power of commercial real estate to build wealth, create freedom, and live life on your terms.”
– Paul Thompson
Paul is passionate about helping others tap into what he calls the “Silver Tsunami”—the $78 trillion wealth transfer happening as Baby Boomers retire and sell off their properties. This generational shift presents unprecedented opportunities for today’s investors to acquire high-value assets at remarkable prices.
💡 “This is the greatest wealth transfer in history. The question isn’t if you can do it—the question is how many properties you’ll secure during this window of opportunity.”
As a teacher and mentor, Paul likens himself and Peter to Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, guiding their students (the “Padawans”) to master the art of commercial real estate. His down-to-earth approach makes even the most complex strategies simple and actionable, empowering aspiring investors to confidently pursue multi-million-dollar deals.
💡 “I’m not just here to teach theories. I’m in the trenches, closing deals and earning passive income—just like the students I mentor.”
At Real Estate 101, we believe that financial freedom is achievable for anyone with the right education, tools, and support. Our mission is to make commercial real estate investing accessible, empowering individuals to create generational wealth while positively impacting their communities.
Paul’s journey is proof that anyone can achieve financial independence with the right mentorship. Through the Commercial Dream Partner Program, he and Peter share their decades of experience, helping students unlock financial freedom through commercial real estate.

See For Yourself…
“Moving forward, I realized that if I want to do bigger deals and hit those bigger goals, I need someone who’s been there, done that, and knows the ins and outs of commercial real estate. And what better person to partner with than you, Peter?”
“Not only did Peter give me the confidence I needed to make my first commercial deal, he’s made me a lot of money as a result, and given me the confidence to go out and look for more projects… With Peter’s coaching, you get more than just analyzing a deal or the nuts and bolts of commercial real estate; what you’re getting is an advisor who’s going to help you with all things real estate.”
“Coming over here to Commercial Dream Partners is kind of like joining a special forces unit; the information is much more concise, usable, and actionable, with direct connection and follow-up with you, Peter. I don’t know how you do it, but I’m blessed that you do. You just don’t get this level of one-on-one expertise and regular meetings elsewhere—not even close.”
“I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today if it wasn’t for bringing Peter on board, teaching me the basics on how to actually purchase real estate. He’s gone out and done investing himself, faced the challenges, and figured out ways to make things profitable. He’ll actually take you by the hand, help you avoid pitfalls, and get you going.”
“Joining the Dream Partners about six or seven months ago has been a blessing for me. Learning directly from you, Peter, and seeing other members make deals and reach their goals has reinvigorated me to keep pushing forward.”
“Using Peter’s strategies, mentorship, and everything behind it, we locked in a deal in Hartford, Connecticut, at well below market value. The support is unbelievable through the forums, weekly Zoom calls, and all the guidance we get—it’s just incredible. This is exactly where I need to be.”
“Peter is extremely generous and just such a good person, and I trust him. I’m just so happy to be connected with him, and it’s worth it 100%. Our success is his success, and he genuinely enjoys seeing people succeed in their business.”
“With Peter Conti’s Commercial Dream Partner program, my mindset completely changed. Having a mentor who’s like a private coach and cheerleader, guiding me one-on-one, gave me the confidence to reach out to owners and brokers in the commercial space. It’s been a wonderful experience, and I’m grateful for the support that’s helped me move forward in this field.”
“I highly recommend jumping into commercial real estate and joining Peter’s program as a coach. Without it, it would have taken me years to develop the skills I now have. The tools make it so fast—I can analyze a deal in minutes and know exactly what offer to make. It’s incredibly helpful and has become a habit to find great deals.”
“This was my first multi-unit deal and I was a little nervous… Using the assignment forms… and looking at the samples that were already filled out, I flipped it to another buyer for $583,000 to make a total of $23,000… Thanks for everything!”
Rotonda West, Florida
“Peter, I’ve used your ideas and they work. I now have eleven properties and still have time to home school my kids. I just added up my profits…$279,247. Wow!!!”
SALEM, OREGON
“I was able to get 3 subject to deals, 2 foreclosure deals, 1 lease option deal and 2 rehab deals ( I was so confident in myself that I successfully solicited private lenders and got those 2 rehab deals completely funded) all within 4 months! … now I am selling 4 of those properties and will deposit into my bank account a total of $195,000 … All with none of my own money invested! … I am eternally grateful to you and everyone at MFG for believing in me (even when I didn’t believe in myself) and giving me the gift of purpose, confidence and the ability to successfully achieve the BIG dreams that I never knew I had!”
Pennsylvania

“This Intensive Training was honestly a LIFE CHANGING event for me. It was better than I could have ever imagined. I got the help and support I needed and made some genuine new friends to hopefully last a lifetime. I can’t say thank you enough for coming into my life. Thank you again for everything. You guys have all touched my life in a huge way.”
“I really appreciate your personal commitment to support me in taking my business and myself to a higher level. I feel 100% confident that I can achieve what I set out to do now. Thanks for getting me there! …my biggest challenge was in dealing with upper end properties. Now I know that it was me that was holding myself back.”
Ohio
“I estimate that this deal will net me at least $10,000… You helped me see the potential profit that I didn’t recognize. …And I especially appreciate your high ethical and moral standards in both business and personal dealings. You have given Susan and me a definite push toward our success in real estate.”
“You helped me to figure out what was holding me back from going after my financial dreams. Now I’m confident to go out and do this … What I want to say to anyone who is considering going after his or her dreams in real estate is to jump! Once you take that first step the rest is so much simpler than you can imagine.”
“If you are new to real estate this course will put you on track to making you re dreams come true. As with any business it is always better to learn from someone who has already been successful than to go it alone.”
