Without fail,
We go somewhere nice, or somewhere fun,
We will get offers on houses or clients come out of the wood work and need to buy a new listing they just saw.

Jeff’s the real hero, he does all that communication stuff so I can just kick back and take the credit for it.

Then This Event Is For YOU!

Every business owner I talk to right now is in one of two camps.

-The ones quietly building AI into their business and pulling ahead.
-And the ones watching it happen, knowing they should do something, but having no idea where to start.

If you’re in the second camp, you’re not behind yet. But another six months of watching tutorials and bookmarking tools isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Joe Stolte’s AI event is two days of actually building. You walk out with working AI systems in your business, not a notebook full of ideas you’ll never touch.

Built for operators and business owners who’d rather implement than study. You don’t even need to be tech savvy!

Just spent 2 days with and built something I’ve been paying $2K/closing to outsource.
A bot that:
↳ Calls inbound PPC leads within 2 minutes
↳ Has an actual phone conversation with them
↳ Triages motivated seller vs. listing lead
↳ Updates the CRM
↳ Books appointments (listings to Jeff, motivated seller to me)
↳ Runs the full follow-up sequence if they don’t pick up. Texts, callbacks, all of it.
Set the whole thing up in one session with him.
Math on what I just walked away with:
$60K/year saved on what I was paying someone else to do this poorly

an estimated $150K from closing 5 extra flips this year because we’ll actually follow up on leads we’ve been wasting
= $210K from being in the room

Joe is running a mini version of this live over Zoom for $97. Ninety-seven dollars. He could charge 10x and it’d still be a steal.
Not an affiliate. Don’t make a dime off this. It was just too valuable to sit on.

At least I know my strengths 🤷‍♀️

What if you grew up going to real estate investing conferences?

Hearing your parents, speak the language of real estate investing and entrepreneurship every day..

Walking properties with your parents and seeing the progress and the mistakes and the wins up close...

What if you were encouraged to make money and start businesses really early on in life… what if you were told it was OK to fail as long as you kept going and kept trying?

How different would your life be?

My kids are having a debate about patents and copyright.
They’re 9 and 6.
Acton Academy doesn’t do lectures or letter grades. It runs on Socratic discussions, real-world projects, and entrepreneurship built into the curriculum from day one.
Kids learn to run businesses before they learn to sit still for a test.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the traditional school model is not the only option.

Here’s you’re friendly Public Service Announcement:
Don’t eat food at potlucks unless you really know all the friends. 🫣🤭

We deal with some CRAZY stuff in this business, dog poops, hoarder houses, caving in basements, backed up sewer lines, and and yes literal poo, like raw sewage human poo coating the basement… but it’ll buff.

If you know how to deal with each of those problems, they aren’t problems they’re just line items on a budget. And the more challenging problems that you can solve, the more $$$ you get paid.

What do you do with your feet when you can’t reach the ground? 😅

Nothing teaches you faster than being stupid once.

Most investors have a deal that burned the lesson into their brain forever.

The contractor that disappeared.
The rehab that went 2x over budget.
The tenant you shouldn’t have approved.
The neighborhood you swore you’d never buy in again.

Those mistakes are expensive… but they’re also the reason you get better.

The real problem is when people make the same mistake twice.

What’s the deal that taught you your biggest lesson?

We have a buy box.
Built 1940 or newer.
Garage.
Not on a busy street.
ARV under $300k.

It took years and a lot of mistakes to build those parameters.

They exist because we know how to execute in that lane.
-We know the buyers.
-We know the rehab costs.
-We know what sells and what sits.

The deals that lost money last year?

Every single one fell outside that box.
A 1900s craftsman with no garage
The turd on a busy street
A high ARV property in a neighborhood we don’t know well.
Deals that looked good on paper but weren’t our deals.

And here’s the stupid part:
I knew that when I bought them.

So why did I buy them anyway?

Sometimes it’s deal hunger. The pipeline feels slow and something is better than nothing.
Sometimes it’s ego. A bigger deal feels like a bigger win.
Sometimes it’s optimism. “We can figure it out.”
We couldn’t figure it out better than the numbers already told us.
Your buy box isn’t a limitation.
It’s your edge.

The most expensive thing you can do in this business is buy a deal you’re not set up to execute.
Know your lane. Stay in it.
