Here's something most new multifamily investors don't find out until it's too late. 🙌

Just because you found a great deal doesn't mean you can raise money from anyone you want.

There are real legal rules around who you can and can't take capital from — and the difference between an accredited and non-accredited investor matters a lot. Get this wrong and you're not just in a tough spot, you're in a legal one.

And here's the part I really want you to hear — don't go find a deal first and then scramble to raise capital after. I did it that way when I started and I can tell you firsthand, it is one of the most stressful positions you can put yourself in. Do the work first. Talk to the people in your network. Find out what they're looking for, what they're comfortable investing in, and what kind of returns matter to them. Then go find the deal that fits.

That one shift in the order of operations changes everything about how you operate in this business.

This is exactly the kind of stuff we dig into when we go live together — the things nobody talks about until you're already in the middle of figuring it out the hard way.

Come join us and bring your questions. That's what these sessions are for. 🏢

Let me break down one of the most important numbers in multifamily investing — and I promise it's simpler than most people make it sound. 🙌

The cap rate.

It's really just telling you how much money you're making on the money you invest. That's it. And once you understand it, you can walk up to almost any deal and immediately know what it's worth — before anyone tells you.

Here's the math. A building listed at $1.5 million in a 6% cap rate market? You already know it's generating $90,000 a year in net operating income. Flip it around — someone tells you their building makes $90,000 a year and you know the market cap rate is 6%? You already know that building is worth $1.5 million.

That's how brokers think. That's how banks think. That's how sellers price their buildings. And the second you start thinking the same way, deal conversations get a whole lot clearer.

This is the kind of foundational stuff that makes everything else in multifamily click — and it's exactly what we dig into when we go live together.

Come join us and bring whatever questions you've got. No topic is off limits. 🏢

This is the moment everything changes. 🙌

Step 10 — closing. Lawyers talking to lawyers. Documents being signed. The seller gets his money, the lender brings the capital, and you bring your down payment. And just like that — you own a building.

What happens next looks different for everyone. Maybe it's a solid cash flowing building that needs very little work — the kind of asset you set up properly and it pays you for the rest of your life. Or maybe it's a value add project that's going to consume the next year of your life and double your money at the end of it. Either way, you did it.

And here's what I always tell people — you won't fully know how well you did on this deal until a few years in. Which is exactly why every single step before this one matters so much.

That's the full 10-step system. From getting crystal clear on your investor identity all the way to sitting in that lawyer's office and signing your name on a building.

If any part of this process feels overwhelming or unclear, that's exactly what tomorrow's session is for. Come join us live, bring your questions, and let's work through wherever you're stuck right now. 🏢

Let me tell you a story that still gives me chills. 🙌

We were sitting in the lawyer's office. Pens in hand. Ready to sign on a $3.5 million deal we had worked months to get to. And then the lawyer steps out of the room to take a phone call.

He comes back and tells us the lender just cut the loan by $250,000. It was Friday afternoon. If we couldn't come up with the money by Monday — the deal was dead.

That's what happens when you don't have a commitment letter until the very last minute.

Step 9 is the commitment letter — and until you have it in your hands, you don't actually have anything solid. A term sheet gives you a strong indication. But the commitment letter is the lender saying they've done their due diligence, they've looked at everything, and here are the final terms. That's when it's real.

And the difference between those two numbers can be $80,000. It can be $250,000. It can be the difference between a deal that works and one that doesn't.

Do the work early. Know your numbers. Build the relationships. So that by the time that commitment letter lands, there are no surprises.

This is where everything you've built starts to come together. 🙌
Up until now you've been doing estimates, building relationships, gathering information — all without asking anyone to commit their time to a formal quote. And that's intentional. You don't ask a contractor for a detailed locked-in number when you're still just looking at a building. That's not respecting their time.
But now? The term sheet is signed. The deal is verified. And the right contractors — the ones who've done this a hundred times before — are ready to give you exactly what you need. A locked-in number. A commitment. Someone ready to be on site the day you close.
And that's also the signal to get your lawyers moving. Legal can start spending your money now because everything you've done up to this point has already told you this deal works. You're not hoping anymore. You're executing.
You're still in your window. You haven't removed subjects yet. But you're no longer just looking — you're committing.
That's the difference between someone running a process and someone just winging it and hoping it all works out at the end.

Most people don't even know what a term sheet is until one lands in front of them — and by then it's usually too late to be fully prepared. 🙌

Step 7 is where everything gets real. The term sheet is the lender telling you exactly what they need, what they'll give you, and whether everything you've done up to this point actually holds up.

And here's what most people don't realize — the lender is going to ask for the exact same information you should have already been collecting throughout this whole process. Three years of financials. Tax returns. Net worth statements. Rent rolls. Environmental reports. Appraisals. All of it.

If you've done the work from Steps 1 through 6, you're handing that file over with confidence. If you haven't — you're scrambling on day 55 of a 60-day clock with a $5,000 non-refundable application fee on the line.

This is also where paid due diligence begins. Environmentals. Appraisals. Building condition assessments. You've earned the right to spend that money now because you already know the deal works.

That's the difference between someone who knows what they're doing and someone who's just hoping for the best.

Come join us and bring whatever you're working through. That's what these sessions are all about. 🏢

Here's something I want you to really let sink in — getting a building under contract shouldn't cost you a single dollar in due diligence. Not yet. 🙌

Step 6 is all about free due diligence, and it's one of the most important things I teach because so many people rush into spending money before they've even verified the deal is what the seller said it was.

Before I spend a dime on lawyers, appraisals, or formal reports — I'm already doing the work. Reviewing rent rolls, checking bank statements, asking for receipts on every renovation they claimed to have done. And yes, I mean actual receipts. Not just a number on a financial statement.

Then comes the site visit. There is nothing that replaces walking through a building with your own eyes — feeling the neighborhood, talking to people, spotting things that no report is ever going to tell you. I've walked into buildings and known in seconds that something was off. That gut check is irreplaceable.

And while I'm there I'm bringing contractors, getting rough ballpark numbers on renovations, building relationships with property managers. All of that — still free. Still before I've committed a dollar beyond my refundable deposit.

That's the discipline that separates investors who close good deals from the ones who bleed money on deals that were never going to work.

This clip might save you $40,000. No exaggeration. 🙌

Step 5 is all about the LOI and contract process — and most people get this completely wrong because they don't realize the clock is already working against them the second they sign.

Here's what I see happen all the time. Someone finds a great deal, gets excited, rushes to get it under contract, and then spends 60 days chasing the seller for financials, bank statements, and lease copies that should have been there from day one. By the time everything shows up — if it ever does — they've burned through $30,000–$40,000 in due diligence costs and half the information turns out to be completely different from what they were told.

Here's how I write every single contract. The 60-day due diligence clock doesn't start the day you sign. It starts the day you receive and confirm all the information you asked for. That one shift turns 60 days into 90 and keeps you from spending a single dollar until you can actually verify the deal is what they said it was.

Sellers push back on this all the time. And I always say the same thing — if you're really sending me everything in three days, great. We'll start the clock then. 😊

That's Step 5 — and it connects directly to everything we've been building in this series.

Come join us tomorrow and bring whatever you're working through right now. That's what the session is for. 🏢

This is the part of the process most people get completely backwards. 🙌

Negotiation isn't about guessing what price the seller will accept or trying to talk someone down without knowing your own number. That's just two people wasting each other's time.

When you've done the work — when you know your number, you know their number, and you understand exactly why the gap exists — the whole conversation changes. You're not nervous. You're not hoping. You walk in knowing what works for you and what doesn't, and you say it with confidence.

And if it doesn't work for them? You thank them, follow up in 30 days, and move on. No emotion. No chasing. On to the next one.
That's Step 4 — and it only works this cleanly because of the clarity, deal finding, and underwriting we covered in the first three steps. This is all one connected system.

On Saturday we go live and you can bring whatever you're working through right now — whether it's a deal you're trying to negotiate or anything else in your multifamily journey. That's what these sessions are for. 🏢

I'd love to see a lot of you in there. 👇
