The 28 days

Four weeks, in the right order.

Each week ends with something concrete: a buy-box, a defended shortlist, a lender call, an offer.

  1. Week 1Days 17

    Foundations

    By Day 7 you'll know which numbers matter on a listing and which are noise. You'll have a one-line buy-box for the deal you're hunting.

  2. Week 2Days 814

    Market Selection

    By Day 14 you'll have a defended shortlist of three U.S. metros backed by Census migration, BLS jobs, and Zillow rent trends. Not vibes. Real data.

  3. Week 3Days 1521

    Financing & Setup

    By Day 21, your LLC paperwork is filed, business banking is opening, and two real lenders know your name. The week most beginners skip. You won't.

  4. Week 4Days 2228

    Deal Analysis & Closing

    By Day 28 you've screened real listings, run the numbers, and written a real offer. Day 29 is whether you submit it.

How to read a rent roll.

Every seller hands you a rent roll. Most are fiction. Today you learn the four lies and the four questions that surface what's actually paying the bills.

HD
Tasks1 of 4 complete
  • Download the sample rent roll PDF.
  • Mark every unit with a lease ending in 60 days.
  • Calculate the gap between asking and actual rent.
  • Write three questions to ask the seller.

Each video sits next to the tasks you check off as you go.

Running the numbers
Cashflow
Monthly cashflow
+$312

= $3,744 / yr · 5.2% cap rate

What the numbers mean

$312 a month is thin. Lose a tenant for two months and you've eaten the year. Worth running a stress test before you offer.

The number on top. Below it, the verdict on the deal.

Inside a day

Each day moves you closer to a deal.

Each lesson explains the next move. Each task is you making it. By Day 28 you've moved the deal forward, not just your notes.

Every video ends with you doing something.

Other beginner content stops at the video. This one doesn't. Each day, what you just learned becomes a small task on a real property you're considering. By Day 28, one of those tasks is writing your first real offer.

  • Day 05Buy-boxes

    Write your one-line buy-box

  • Day 11Migration data

    Analyze 3 ZIP codes

  • Day 18LLC + banking

    File the LLC, open business bank

  • Day 24Offer-writing

    Submit your first real offer

Numbers that come with a verdict.

Type in the price, the rent, the down payment from a listing you're considering. You'll get back a number and a short paragraph telling you whether the deal works or only looks like it does.

Skip the search for who to trust.

When you need a lender, an insurer, or a CPA who knows real estate, you'll find one we already use. Each name comes with what we use it for, and why. You skip the part where you Google-search for someone trustworthy.

Pay once. Take it at your speed.

One payment, then you own it. No monthly charge sneaking up on your card. Take 28 days to finish. Take 90. Take it again next year when you're buying property number two. The lessons don't expire.

The lesson teaches it. The task makes it real.

Who it's built for

Here's who it's built for.

Instead of a wall of testimonials, here's what's actually inside, and who built it. We'd rather show you the substance than dress up strangers as proof.

Here are four real beginner situations the course is built around. The lessons, the math, the tasks, the lender list, the calculators. All of it is shaped by these four kinds of starting points. If one of them sounds like you, you're in the right place.

Built around one idea: the biggest beginner cost isn't the course price. It's a bad city, a bad lender, or an overpaid first deal.

  • Tomás24 · Phoenix

    Renting at $1,450 a month. $14,000 saved. Earns $58K in IT support. Doesn't know that an FHA loan plus a duplex would cut his housing cost in half.

    PathHouse Hack
  • Rachel38 · San Diego

    Owns her primary residence. $80,000 saved beyond her emergency fund. Works as an RN earning $115K. Local prices are out of reach so she's looking out-of-state for the first time.

    PathBuy & Hold (out-of-state)
  • Dylan32 · Indianapolis

    Already owns two long-term rentals. Earns $87K as a project manager. Wants to stop saving fresh down payments and start recycling capital across deals.

    PathBRRRR
  • Garrett41 · Atlanta exurbs

    Spent 15 years in residential construction. Owns his primary outright. $130K liquid plus access to private money. Wants to run flipping like a small business, not a side project.

Common questions

The objections you're already thinking.

$399 feels expensive. Why isn't it free?

It's expensive next to YouTube. It's cheap next to overpaying for your first deal by $20,000, choosing the wrong lender, or buying in a metro that loses jobs. The course is the cost of avoiding those.

I don't have enough money. Is this for me?

Probably yes. House hacking (buying a small property, living in part of it, renting the rest) starts at 3.5–5% down. BRRRR recycles cash you already have. The course covers all of these so you can pick the structure that fits your situation.

What if I lose money or the market crashes?

The course is built around conservative analysis, a long horizon, and data-driven market selection. You won't time the market. You'll make a deal that pencils out even if the market is flat for three years.

I'm not American. Can I still take this and buy U.S. real estate?

Yes. Foreign-national buyers have working paths through DSCR loans, foreign-friendly lenders, and remote-friendly markets. The course covers what's different (taxes, financing, distance) instead of pretending it isn't there.

I'm bad with numbers. Will this be too technical?

The five calculators do the math. The course teaches which numbers actually matter and how to read them. By Day 14 you'll be screening listings faster than people who are “good with numbers” but don't know what to look at.

How much time does it take each day?

The video is 2 to 6 minutes. The tasks are the real work: most days take 15 to 45 minutes total, like running numbers on a listing or drafting your buy-box. A few bigger ones (lender calls, filing the LLC) you schedule when it suits you. Nothing expires and there's no streak to keep. If you miss a day, you pick up where you left off.

Do I need anything besides the course?

A laptop and the internet. Every data source the course uses (Census, FRED, Zillow) is free. Some tasks have real-world costs you'd pay on any path to a first deal, like LLC filing fees ($50 to $500 depending on your state). The course tells you what's optional and what's not, so you don't spend a dollar you don't need to.

Will I actually own a property in 28 days?

No. Legal closing runs on its own schedule and takes weeks beyond the course. What 28 days gets you is readiness: a defended market, a lender conversation in motion, a real buy-box, and the confidence to make a real offer.

What happens after Day 28?

You keep the course for life. Closing usually takes 30 to 60 days beyond the lessons, and you'll be using the calculators, the lender list, and the offer playbook the whole time. When you buy property number two a year later, you can re-run the relevant weeks. The lessons don't expire and there's no monthly charge. It's a one-payment course you'll come back to.
