REI for Beginners — 2-Hour Workshop (Saturday, Sep 26 · 10:00 AM CDT)
SIGN UP TODAY
If Monday night is the starter blueprint, Saturday is where we turn it into a real plan you can execute. Most beginners don't need more information. They need a clear strategy that fits their life, a simple way to run numbers without getting overwhelmed, and the next steps that lead to an actual deal.
This 2-hour workshop is built to move you from "I get it" to "I know what to do next." No hype. No guru math. Just the fundamentals done right.
What This Workshop Is
This is the hands-on follow-through to the Monday night training. We'll slow it down, get practical, and help you build a 30–90 day plan that fits your resources and goals.
What You'll Learn

• Pick Your Lane (for real): Buy & Hold vs Fix & Flip (and where wholesaling fits in the ecosystem)
• The "order of operations" so you stop doing steps out of sequence
• Deal numbers made simple: the core numbers that tell you if a deal is worth pursuing
• Beginner credibility stack: how to talk to agents, lenders, contractors, and deal sources without sounding lost
• Where deals actually come from and how to start building deal flow this week
• Funding basics: what you need to get approved, what lenders want, and what to prep now
• Common rookie mistakes that waste months (and how to avoid them)

Who This Is For

• Beginners who want a real starting point (not another YouTube rabbit hole)
• People with a job/family who need a strategy that fits limited time
• Anyone who wants to buy rentals or flip houses but needs the right plan + sequence
• New investors who are ready to stop "learning" and start executing

Who This Is NOT For

• If you're looking for shortcuts, "no money/no work" gimmicks, or hype
• If you refuse to run numbers, follow up, or take consistent action
• If you want deals handed to you instead of building a real buying machine

What You'll Walk Away With

• A simple 30–90 day roadmap to do your first deal
• A clear strategy based on your time, capital, and risk tolerance
• A beginner-friendly framework to evaluate deals without analysis paralysis
• Next steps you can run immediately (and what to ignore for now)

Note
This is a training event. We'll also share tools and programs we use to help investors move faster. If you choose to buy something, great. If not, you'll still leave with a real game plan.

Ready to move beyond single-family rentals and start looking at small apartment buildings?

This practical Buy & Hold Series event is designed for real estate investors who want to understand how to make the jump into 5–60 unit apartment properties without getting buried in complicated multifamily theory.
The biggest questions are usually simple:
Where do you find these deals?
How do you know if the numbers work?
And how do you actually get them financed?
During this session, we’ll walk through the fundamentals of finding and financing small apartment opportunities, including both traditional commercial lending and creative financing strategies.
You’ll learn how the process changes once you move beyond 1–4 unit residential properties and into the commercial lending world.
We’ll discuss where investors can look for apartment deals, how brokers and off-market relationships fit into the acquisition process, and what lenders are actually evaluating when deciding whether to finance a property.
We’ll also cover financing approaches including:

• Commercial apartment loans
• DSCR and property-based underwriting
• Down-payment and liquidity requirements
• Understanding NOI and debt service
• Seller financing
• Creative financing structures
• Combining financing strategies when traditional lending alone does not solve the deal

This is not an advanced underwriting seminar.
The goal is to give investors a clear, practical understanding of what changes when you move from houses and small rentals into apartment buildings—and what you should be doing now if you want to eventually own larger properties.
If you already understand rentals but keep looking at apartment buildings and thinking, “How would I ever buy one of those?” this class is built for you.
You may be closer than you think.
