A deep dive into real estate. How deals are measured, structured, financed and operated. The risk factors, how to gain a competitive advantage, and more.

How the course helps you think about leverage in Real Estate

Next I’ll teach you about the gasoline we can pour on the fire to multiply our returns and crank up our cash flow and put our appreciation on steroids. I’m talking about a little something called leverage.

It’s debt. Borrowed money from a bank—also known as a loan, mortgage, or note.

Leverage is a powerful tool that amplifies everything in real estate investing. While it can work wonders for investors, it’s essential to note that it’s a double-edged sword. We’ll explore both its benefits and risks in the upcoming sections.

Let’s dive in and use one of my previous deals to paint the picture.

We did a deal in Newfield for $2.175MM. We bought it at an “in-place” cap rate of 7.31% and a “pro forma” cap rate of 13.46%.

We only needed to put up $543k of our cash to buy it. A local bank that does commercial lending financed the rest.

Huge question that informs everything else → how much of the purchase price will the bank finance?

It depends on the asset class, the bank, and the strength of the borrowers/operators. If you are good at what you do, have a lot of cash, and have experience cranking out the numbers you are projecting, you can get debt at a reasonable price.

In the masterclass I go much much deeper—over 10 lessons—on the ways you can use leverage to scale up your portfolio… as long as you pay attention to the ADJUSTED RISK of the project.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.
