August 23, 2026 - Temple, Texas - 40 Acres And A Profit is launching the Levi Bean Lake Real Estate Course this October, offering a $2,500 hands-on and virtual program focused on real-world property experience in the Temple–Killeen area.
The course arrives as some prospective students and industry observers have raised questions about expensive Barber programs in temple, with no financing offered, citing its cost relative to typical local earnings, non-refundable fees, and limited flexibility in a competitive market. Local data shows typical barber earnings in the Temple–Killeen area average roughly $30,000–$33,000 per year, with the Texas statewide median near $30,760. The area also has a high concentration of shops—roughly 16–20+ in Temple and 40–50+ in Killeen—creating significant competition for new barbers.
40 Acres And A Profit structured the new course around live properties rather than classroom theory alone. Students train inside or virtually in real houses controlled by the organization, using actual properties as the foundation of the course so learning happens in real time. The $2,500 fee covers the full program. Payment plans and flexible financing options, including as little as $100 down, are available.
A spokesperson for 40 Acres And A Profit stated: “This course is unique. Students will actually work and learn using real houses as the foundation of the course, so everything happens in real time.”
Participants study the practical side of buying, fixing, selling, deal evaluation, and investment strategies while gaining direct exposure to live assets and decision-making. The goal is to equip students with skills they can apply to their own future deals.
A course highlight includes how a 22,000-square-foot property featuring five apartments, office space, storage, a lounge, and a music studio was negotiated and closed with no money down. The property is fully owned free and clear with no mortgage.
40 Acres And A Profit is initially investing over $1 million of its own capital, houses, resources, supplies, and its existing real estate structure, to support the program. The organization owns more than 100 debt-free commercial and residential properties across vast acres of land, plus a major warehouse holding millions in inventory of flooring, cabinets, sinks, stoves, refrigerators, and other materials. Students receive access to these resources as part of their training.
40 Acres And A Profit stated: “We wish every hard-working barber great success. But we feel alternatives are needed to balance the playing field in saturated markets. Do the real estate. And if you want to do anything barber-related or otherwise, learn how to own the building—not just pay rent—and control your future.”
The organization added that if enough students and community members want a barber academy in the area, it will consult with professionals in that trade and fund a fully free academy as a giveback to the community.
The Levi Bean Lake Real Estate Course launches in October in the Temple area. Prospective students are encouraged to compare total cost, structure, and practical exposure before choosing a training path.
