The first house
Three-bed ranch · bought for $24,000
Held it as a rental for nineteen months, then sold because I needed the cash. The buyer made twice what I did over the next decade. Lesson one: figure out what you actually want before you sell.

Real Estate Partnership & Coaching.
Have you been thinking about getting into real estate but don't know where to start? I can help. I've helped people turn their real estate dreams into action, and I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how real estate works. Whether you're completely new to real estate or already have a deal in mind, I offer personal coaching and partnership opportunities designed to help you move forward.
Three ways to work together
Here are 3 ways we can work together.
You don't need to know everything before you start. You just need to take the first step.
I
Free Real Estate Conversation
Free · no pressure, no obligation
Thinking about getting into real estate? Let's talk. It's free. Everyone gets a free phone call with me to discuss your goals, answer questions, and help you figure out your next step.
- Talk through your goals
- Get your questions answered
- Figure out your next step
II
Real Estate Partnership
Partner on the deal · funding available
Real estate can be complicated. You don't have to figure it out alone. I can work with you and help guide you through the process. Depending on the opportunity, I may be able to partner with you and provide funding, while we work together toward making the deal profitable.
- Real estate education
- Finding and evaluating deals
- Funding and financing
- Comparable sales (comps)
- Contractors and real estate agents
- Rehab and renovation
- Advertising and marketing
- Deal strategy and understanding the numbers
III
One-on-One Real Estate Coaching
$200/hour · or $1,000/month
Want to learn without bringing me into your deal? I offer one-on-one real estate coaching where I can help you understand the process, evaluate opportunities, and become more confident making real estate decisions.
- $200 — coaching by the hour
- $1,000 — coaching by the month
- Understand the process and evaluate opportunities
- The goal is simple: learn real estate and take action
The thing nobody tells new investors is that the first deal is almost never about the deal. It's about whether you can stay calm when six things go wrong, three at the same time, and your contractor stops returning calls. That's what coaching is for. Everything else is a Google search.
— Alan
A coach who still does the work.
I'm not a retired guru selling old war stories. I still buy houses. When you bring me a deal, I'm reading the same numbers I read on my own — the comps, the rehab, the exit, the financing — and telling you what I'd actually do.
That's the difference between a course and a coach. A course is frozen the day it's recorded. A coach is in the market with you, this week, on this deal.
The track record
Forty years. Six hundred houses. Every one a teacher.
A small selection of deals across the years, anonymized for privacy. Each one taught me something I'm still applying — and still passing on — today.
The first disaster
Duplex · bought for $38,000
Foundation work that wasn't disclosed. I spent more on the fix than I paid for the house. Two years to break even. A good inspection is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy.
The pivot
First of 60+ bank-owned acquisitions
When the crash came, most flippers panicked. I leaned in. Banks were dumping inventory at numbers that hadn't existed in twenty years. The next four years were the best of my career.
The first coaching client to close
A flip with Sarah, on a driving-for-dollars find
She found it. I underwrote it. She managed the rehab. We split a $38,000 profit. The most important thing I did was let her make the small calls without checking with me. That's the whole job in one sentence.
The sentimental sale
Three-bed · bought from an estate · $42,000
A family had owned the house 51 years. We kept the front-yard rosebush and told them they could take cuttings any time. Two of them did. This isn't just a business.
