Description

Have absolutely ZERO knowledge or experience in real estate investing but want to get started?

But you're just not sure where to start?

Do you feel overwhelmed with the seemingly endless choices and options available to a new investor?

Should you start with fix & flips, rentals, wholesaling, lease options, etc...?

There are so many options but what is a smart way to start for a new investor?

WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR FIRST INVESTMENT?

If you want to learn the most important real estate invest concepts and develop a solid foundation as a first step towards your real estate investing education, this is your course.

_______________________________________

I don't live in the US, is the material still useful for me?

Yes! While the examples are using US properties because the vast majority of my students are from the US, ALL of the concepts taught and tools provided are just as useful for any market. In fact, I have students from over 190 countries who are learning and using the tools provided in the course to help them invest wherever they are located.

How is this different from your other courses?

My other real estate courses here are all focused primarily on investment analysis--one focusing on analyzing fix & flips and rental income properties, another that focus only on multifamily, and a third more comprehensive course that covers residential as well as a host of other commercial real estate scenarios. The other course all go deeper on the analysis but does not touch on many of the topics covered here.

You can think of those courses as getting down to the ground level in terms of detail and this course is at the 30,000 feet level, just getting the main gist of things without getting you bogged down in numbers and details.

What if I already have some real estate background?

This course is NOT for you. This is meant for beginners and those who little to ZERO existing knowledge. Although I will say that some students with experience found this to be a nice refresher, especially the section on real estate cycles.

Why is there so much math and numbers?

Math is a necessary evil to understanding real estate investing. If you can't do the math, it'll be difficult for you to really get a firm grasp of the concepts. If/when you're confused, just leave a message in the forums--I usually respond within 48 hours. Btw, there is WAY more math in my other, more advanced courses. I've put the bare minimum here. Every serious investors needs to be able to do these investment calculations.

Why do you use Excel so much?

Good question. Analyzing real estate investments involves looking at the numbers and it's easiest to do so with spreadsheets, which is why I use Excel here extensively. But the good thing is you don't have to build any of the models yourself. You just need to be able to follow along and then you'll be able to use the models I give you.

Can you make me rich by taking your course?

No way! Not just from taking the course. Anyone who promises you that is selling snake oil.

If you take my course AND apply the learnings to make smarter invests in the future, then you have a chance.

What I can guarantee is that you will leave with some serious real estate investing knowledge and techniques.

What else does this course cover besides real estate investing?

This course is ALL about and ONLY the foundational real estate investing concepts.

What will I be able to do after I take your course?

After taking my course, you will be:

Able to confidently use professional real estate investment techniques.

Able to evaluate both residential AND commercial real estate opportunities.

Able to structure investments with business partners in a smart and equitable way via the waterfall framework

Know how to identify and mitigate investment risks.

What WON'T I get from this course?

You will not get a Real Estate License from taking this course. You can only get licensed by taking the appropriate test with the testing agency of your state and country. But what is taught in this course has nothing to with getting a license, which focuses on how to legally transact real estate deals between buyers and sellers. This course is about investment analysis.

I will not be evaluating your personal investment deals for you for this course. This is about you learning how to do it on your own using the lessons and the tools here. =) If you really want me to consult, you can reach out to me. My hourly rate is $350/hr.

This course does not cover any of the wide range of OTHER real estate topics, which deserve their own courses, including but not limited to: contract negotiations, real estate legalities, real estate marketing, REITs, etc... I try to cover the most important concepts as it relates to evaluating investment opportunities.

Tell me again why I should take your course?

If you've read this far down, you already know why. You've always wanted to. So why haven't you pulled the trigger?

Ask yourself this: "What is holding me back?"

Are you afraid you'll actually learn what you've always said you would but never did?

Yeah, you'll have to put in the time and effort. If you're lazy, this course (or any other course) won't be able to help you.

But if you're serious about learning real estate investing, then I can definitely help you.

Plus, you have absolutely ZERO risk.
