Want to invest in real estate, but don’t know where to start?

Get my proven system for buying your first profitable rental, and earn 2-5x the returns vs the stock market without giving up your nights and weekends.

You’ve heard that real estate is a great investment: you earn extra income, you get tax benefits, and someone else pays your mortgage.

You also feel like the stock market is out your control - because it is - and the amount you need to save feels daunting.

Furthermore, you don’t have the time to read the copious blog posts out there and piece nuggets of information together. You already have a life!

Yet, it’s something you’ve always wanted to do, and what you really need is a mentor to show you exactly how to do it.

I remember our first rental purchase fondly.

After looking for 12 MONTHS, we finally found the one. It was everything we wanted: a duplex with 3 bedrooms, large backyards, garages, and plenty of opportunities to add value with improvements.

There was only one problem.

With an asking price of $225,000, it was $30,000 more than what my fancy spreadsheet said we should pay.

BUT - and I can hear you saying this because it’s what I told myself - we had been looking for 12 MONTHS. We had been inside almost 100 properties and had failed to pull the trigger on any of them. This one finally met all of our criteria: a small multi-family near our jobs with potential upside.

Well… all of our criteria except one: it needed to turn a pre-tax profit day 1. In other words, it needed to generate enough cash flow every month to cover all the expenses and more.

Of course, after you factor for depreciation, paying down the mortgage principal, and all of that “potential upside”, it would be a profitable rental!

Believe me, I squirmed in my seat while explaining this to my wife. Besides, most months it’ll actually have a positive cash flow. Not much, and it’ll be negative any month we need to do maintenance, but over time, as rents go up, it’ll be positive. This is for retirement after all.

We’ve always wanted to do this, and this property looks like it could be a long-term winner.

I am so grateful that at that moment my wife had a stronger resolve than I. She pointed out that it was MY spreadsheet that said it was too much. And we had both agreed to only buy something that was profitable day 1 - without any accounting tricks or delayed returns.

So, we did the unthinkable: we passed on the property.

Six months later the seller lowered the price by $30,000 and we put in an offer the next day.... $30K below the new price! They called us crazy... and then countered with $15K above our offer. It went from a bad deal to a great deal overnight!

Imagine you found a similar deal

One that puts an extra $466 in your pocket each month like ours. And then when you file for taxes, you don’t get small refunds checks of $200 or $300, but $2,000 to $3,000 because of depreciation and other tax benefits.

The profound impact this will have on your life won’t hit you until the third month. You see, the first month you’ll get a partial payment through escrow. And in the second month, you’ll watch for the check to make sure everything works. But then 30 days will pass and you’ll get another check from your tenant because you own the place! It’s not tied to the number of hours you worked, it’s not tied to your effort, or someone else recognizing you. It’s… passive. And it’s amazing.

“I’ve always wanted to do that, but I don’t know how to get started.”

You hear stories like ours. You’ve heard rental real estate is a great investment: you earn extra income, you get tax benefits, and someone else pays your mortgage.

Then you go online, start reading, and quickly become overwhelmed. There’s so much information, you almost feel like you need to be an expert already so you can discern what’s good advice and what’s not!.

And time goes on.

You forget.

And a year later you find yourself again saying, “I’ve always wanted to do that.”

Or worse: you convince yourself you DON’T want to invest. Who wants to deal with property maintenance and bad tenants? It’s not worth the hassle, right?

Here’s an unspoken truth: Whenever you hear a (former) landlord complain about tenants and maintenance, I’ll almost guarantee you that they didn’t do a proper analysis and paid too much. They made the big mistake of falling in love with the property instead of the deal.

I consult other investors and when they ask me to evaluate deals, I almost always tell them they’re paying too much. By paying too much, they can’t afford to wait for the right tenant or fix an issue while it’s still small. And then they tell me all the wonderful things about the property, which are true, except for the fact that they’ll lose money each year, or making so little money that they would have been better off investing in something else.

Falling in love with the deal, not the property goes the other way too. It helps you find deals everyone else ignores.

While waiting for our food at a Red Robin, we did what any “normal” couple does and started looking at properties on Zillow. We scrolled quickly past listings when my wife stopped me.

“Did you see that property’s price?”

Me: “Yeah, but did you see that property’s picture?”

Her: “Yes… but did you SEE THAT PRICE?! It’s half of what it should be!”

By this time, we had refined our spreadsheet to the most important parts. We learned how to do a quick analysis in our heads, and could spot good deals immediately. We also knew, from experience now, that the picture didn’t matter if the numbers made sense.

We drove by that night and sent our agent an email to schedule a tour while in the car.

We now profit $500 each month from that property. As I’m writing this, the last time I was there was 4 months ago, and I don’t remember the time before that.

The crazy part is that if I only invested in the stock market, I’d still need a job. By learning how to buy profitable rentals - and earn returns of 15% to 55% (2-7x vs the stock market!) - I was able to cut the amount I needed to invest in half and left my job at 36 years old.

It doesn’t require next-level negotiation skills, or giving up your nights & weekends. Instead, all you need to do is follow a proven system to buy your first profitable rental property.

FAQ

"There are tons of books and blogs on buying rentals. What makes Sign Here different?"
Look, you can spend months - or years! - doing the research yourself and putting all the pieces together (I did). But at the end of the day, the most effective option is having someone who’s already done it show you the exact steps to reach your goal. Skip the same mistakes I made. Dismiss tactics that don’t apply to you. Don’t buy a money pit in the hopes of it turning a profit “someday.”

"Will Sign Here help me if I don’t have a down payment yet?"
The course assumes that you have enough money to make a down payment and qualify for a loan. Yes, you technically don’t need any money to buy real estate, but that’s an advanced strategy beyond this course. I would wait and get my financial house in order: spend less than you earn and start saving. Once you have 5-10% saved for a down payment, that’s when you can start using the strategies and tools in this course.

"What if I live somewhere where real estate is expensive?"
The price of a property is only part of the analysis. There’s more that matters than just price! This course will give you the tools to recognize deals in your local area - even expensive areas. This is something I explicitly address inside the course, and I provide you with concrete tactics to uncover hidden gems.

"How long will this course take?"
You have access to the entire course as soon as you enroll, but you can go at your own pace. To go through the course materials and complete all the exercises, expect to spend 10-15 hours total.

"How do I know this will work for me?"
Nobody knows if a course will work 100% for them. If you knew something would work with 100% certainty, every single person would be an investor. What I can tell you is that this system has worked for me over and over and over again. If you follow it, it will work for you too.

Comes With a 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee

60-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you don’t love this course, I want you to get 100% of your money back. Here’s why:

I spent YEARS investing in real estate and consulting other investors. During that time I also worked as a data scientist and forecaster. I’ve created advanced analytical models for real estate (think: Monte Carlo simulations, econometric models, machine learning time series algorithms), but a true expert is able to simplify it down to its simplest form, while still maintaining its usefulness. To know what’s important and what’s not.

That’s why I invite you to use my process for analyzing properties, to go through the steps to finding the perfect property, and follow my advice to close on a property. I’m confident you’ll be impressed.

This course isn’t just one more thing to consume for the sake of learning. It’s designed to remove all barriers so you can take action right away. It’s about changing your mindset and seeing real estate with the eye of a profitable investor. And if I can help you buy one profitable property… to diversify your income today (not some distant future)... I consider it a job well done.

So here’s my offer: If you don’t love this course and if it doesn’t move you to action, I want you to get 100% of your money back.
