Management

Jeff Filali (Fa-LAH-lee)  also known as "Mr Tulsa" is an entrepreneur, investor, and business builder with nearly three decades of experience across real estate, private equity, sales, and marketing ventures. 

Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma by a single mother, Jeff grew up watching firsthand the value of hard work, sacrifice, and self-reliance. His earliest exposure to real estate came through his grandfather who built and renovated homes, where he learned the concept of “sweat equity” by helping on job sites at a young age.

At 12 years old he started his first small business mowing lawns, reinvesting his earnings into buying and reselling sports cards and collectibles. Shortly after high school, he opened his first real business a restaurant and purchased his first rental property in 1997, beginning what would become a lifelong focus on entrepreneurship and investing.

After selling his early businesses and assets, Jeff entered the direct, door-to-door sales industry, where he developed strong skills in communication, negotiation, and leadership. Following the economic slowdown after 9/11, he launched a marketing company that rapidly expanded but ultimately failed after a few years due to attempting to scale too quickly and formed a bad partnership. By his late 20s he found himself at rock bottom financially and had to completely rebuild from scratch again in the middle of the 2008 global financial crisis.

During that rebuilding period, he minimized living expenses, worked multiple jobs, and launched several small side businesses. As cash flow stabilized again, he returned to real estate during the post-GFC period through wholesaling, rehabs, and long-term rental acquisitions, gradually rebuilding both capital and confidence.

By 2016, his various ventures had matured enough to formalize a centralized holding structure, leading to the formation of RBI Enterprises LLC. The company was created to own and manage his growing portfolio of operating businesses and investments under one umbrella entity.

In the years that followed, Jeff shifted his focus toward long-term ownership and passive 

investment strategies across real estate assets, real estate notes, and private business interests. He also launched an online real estate education initiative that has reached tens of thousands of members worldwide and reflects his commitment to sharing practical knowledge with aspiring investors.

A significant health challenge in 2021 reinforced his perspective on time, priorities, and purpose. Since then, he has focused more intentionally on sustainable investing, mentorship, and creating opportunities for others.

Today, Jeff resides in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and serves as Founder and CEO of RBI Enterprises, where he oversees a diversified portfolio of investments and affiliated companies. He is passionate about financial education, entrepreneurship, and helping others build better long-term futures through business ownership and disciplined investing.

RBI Enterprises LLC functions as the parent holding company for his various ventures and investment activities, providing centralized oversight, capital allocation, and strategic direction across the portfolio.
