By "Tribal Knowledge" I mean you can't really take a class to 'learn' how to be good at real estate...

Real estate “experts” don’t have a set of books they go to. It’s a more like a secret club. It’s in a handshake and a casual conversation at a BBQ. They have a sort of “street code” that they learn the hard way from decades of experience.

And the dirty little secret that they won't show you on ANY home remodel show..?

If you want to make SERIOUS profits from owning a home, you WANT to do a lot of the work yourself.

Even veteran investors who have dozens of properties do hands-on work (or crews who only work for them). They’re in the trenches. Many are ex-plumbers, carpenters, and other tradesmen who graduated from the School of Hard Knocks.

And when they DO hire out work on a property, they know how to get it done for about 30-50% LESS than just finding a contractor through Yelp, Google, or recommendations from friends and family.

So unless you’re in the know like the pros, you’re playing with matches (and your $$$ is the firewood). Because hiring a contractor like the Grahams did sucks up most of the profit that you'd make on renovating a home. 

(Unless you're buying properties waaay below market value.)

I know because I watched my dad (and other family friends in real estate) get burned on bad remodel jobs. 

Starting out on my own, I decided to remodel an entire house with a business partner. See , even though I've been investing for over 8 years...

I originally created this course for myself.  I wanted to cement all this knowledge I’d learned (AND be able to study later when we buy our next property).

This is the guide I WISH I had when I was first starting out. This course would’ve given me the exact roadmap to profitably remodel almost any house. It probably would’ve saved us $30,000 worth of time and materials on our first full remodel alone...

The dirty truth is that remodeling a house isn’t a particularly hard thing to do. You don't need to be a genius or have muscles of steel to fix up a house.

It just takes time, patience and the right tools. 

It’s just like boiling a pot of spaghetti. There are steps. You gotta have the right ingredients. And (most of the time) you’re better off just cooking it yourself at home than paying $19 at the Italian restaurant downtown.

So here's how the course works…

Every day you’ll get an email from me that shows you how you can add $5,000 (or more) to the value of your home.

You’ll get 21 projects you can start today. I’m even including 3 bonus emails on topics that can help you make money from your remodel once it’s done…

1. I’ll send you the project roadmap to getting the most value for your remodel (plus what to avoid)
2. I’ll explain how to size up your house for 21 different projects via email over 29 days.
   
3. You’ll have a homework assignment at the end of each day to decide if the project is a good fit for your home.
   
4. I’ll send you any resources, videos and articles on how to DIY each project to make the most $ from your house.
5. You’ll have a checklist of all the $5K projects to do on your house that you can DIY or hire out for 30-50% less than a contractor.

The goal when I made this was to start with someone who is a little handy (maybe you’ve built a shed or a fence) and show you how to remodel a house, end to end. Then from there you can decide if you’re ready to go full DIY… or you can hire someone out. 

But if you REALLY aren’t handy, don’t worry. I’ve got a special bonus that will show you how to hire good contractors for less.

By the end of the course you’ll know…

• What to look for in a home to get the most bang for your buck
• When NOT to do a project (when a project can bring down your home’s value)
• How to make sure your project can be done in so that it complies with your local laws (this is VITAL if you ever plan to sell your house)
• When to decide to do a project yourself or to hire it out
  
• New ways giant Internet companies will almost throw money at you while you live in your home
  

We’ll cover a lot of material in the course.

I give you a lot because I want you to GET a lot out of it. If you do just ONE of these projects, you’ll have paid for the course 10-100X over...

And there’s nothing to say that you can’t do ALL 21 projects.

This course is something I’m really excited to share with you.

You’re getting a full download of my 8+ years of experience investing, building, and renting. All of these lessons are Certified Fresh for today’s home market. The tricks I’ll show you are working today. 

• Does it make money sense to redo the tile in the bathroom?
• Should we take off the popcorn ceiling?
• Will a buyer pay us more money because we added a window to this bedroom?

Online real estate courses like those offered by Rich Dad Education start at $7,000. Grand Cardone’s real estate program costs $10,500 and focuses on how to buy apartments. These are great for advanced pros with deep pockets who only want to own multifamily units.

But for folks just starting out or pros who want to flip single family homes, it is hard to justify spending that much money without a quick return.

So I want to offer you 10X the value compared to these other real estate courses.

I’m offering to teach you all I know about starting out in real estate for just $199 $147.

Yes, it’s a scary low price.

And I’m sure I’ll increase it in the future.

Giving you the 34X return on your investment from ONE project (you're getting 21) is a LOT.

But right now I just want to get this into your hands so I can get feedback. This way I can make the course SUPER valuable to future DIYers like you. And I know that once you do even ONE of these projects, you'll see how valuable this stuff really is.

Truthfully, I want YOU to become my next testimonial.

Adding $5K to the value of a house may not seem like a lot. But if you do all 21 projects… that’s $105K+ you can add in a renovation. I know for sure with my current renovation project we’ve added a LOT more than that to the value of our home.

To sum it all up, here’s what you get for $147 today when you invest in my Add $5K Course…

- 21 projects delivered once a day via email that can add $5K (or more) to the value of your home

- 3 bonus lessons that will show you how to make money from your home while you live there

- Daily homework assignments that you can do in 60 minutes or less to get you started on your project

- Resources like helpful videos, articles, and example houses for inspiration to see how you can finish your own project

- My own checklists of what to look for in a property including my project checklist and examples of past properties I’ve looked at

Plus, if you’re one of the first 50 people to go through, I’ll be available via email to answer your project-specific questions. I want to make sure this is an AWESOME experience for you. You're getting my personal promise that you will love this course or I'll refund you in full. 

There you have it. 

That’s my Add $5K to Your Home’s Value Course.

Now at this point, the way I see it is you have three options… You can…

1) Keep paying your mortgage and don’t invest in your home.

This is what happens if you leave this page and forget everything you’ve just learned. Forget all the projects that can add 10X or more to the value of your home. Don’t do anything to your house.

You can live with looking at the same decades of wear and tear everyday (can you?). The dated kitchen... The musty bathroom... The unfinished basement... The vinyl floors... The shag carpet... *shudders*

And when you go to sell your house, cross your fingers and hope the market gave you a little boost. If you do get a little bump in the selling price, that’s awesome! Hopefully it’s enough to make up for all the money you paid the bank in interest. You didn’t have another room in your house to rent out, so no one helped you with the mortgage.

That’s your best case scenario.

As long as the record-high housing market keeps going up and mortgage rates stay the same, you might be ok.

You might even feel good enough about the economy to try option #2…

2) Hire a professional contractor to find projects for you.

If you don’t want to do anyyyy leg work and have lots of extra cash, professional contractors are an option. 

But I wouldn’t do it if you want to make a profit…

Here's the rub... The way they see it is, “You tell me what you want done, and I’ll do it.”

But most contractors don’t know how to look at your project and say, “This will add $20,000 to the value of your house.” And they definitely won’t be to walk through your house and tell you which projects will be the most profitable for YOU. They aren’t home flippers or investors. 

It isn’t their strength… They’re great at building stuff for a living. It’s your job to find them projects that make money.

Plus, if you hire contractors the old fashioned way, you are probably only going to get 50-80% back of what you spend when you sell your house.

Hiring a traditional remodel contractor expecting to make your money back is a losing bet.

But, when you hire using the Add $5K Method, I can show you how to make money when you hire out.

Which brings us to option #3...

3) Get the Add $5K to Your Home’s Value Course.

This is the shortcut to making money while you live in your home.

You’ll get all my knowledge, expertise and 8+ years of experience investing in real estate. I’ve done 12 of these 21 projects myself. I know the other 9 projects make money because I've done enough homework talking to people who have done them.

I know the ins-and-outs of figuring out if it CAN add value to your home. I’ve actually DONE it myself, so I’ll give you resources on how you can do-it-yourself. 

And I promise you that at least one of these projects you can literally accomplish in a weekend if you know what you’re doing.

…If someone told you they’d pay you $5,000 this weekend to work on your house, would you take them up on it?

(Just sayin’… $2,500 for a day’s work ain’t bad money…)

Plus this course isn’t just about adding market value to your home while you make it a beautiful space to live in.

I also show you how to take advantage of new trends in real estate (*hint* it isn’t tiny backyard cottages) that can make you 25-50% more per room than traditional renting. And I’ll explain how to find the right people to rent out a room in your house (trust me… there is a science to this). 

And when you do end up renting a room on your property using this course, you’ll be making 4-8X your money back per MONTH.

Not too bad for a $147 investment.

Basically this is like buying money at a discount. You pay me $1 once so I can pay you $4-8 back every month. I think that’s a fair trade. :)

And of course I do have an iron-clad guarantee… well it’s more like a promise.

Will this be useful to me if I’m an investor/ realtor?

Yes absolutely!

I invest in real estate as a side gig in addition to my full-time job. Because of this, I’ve had to come up with as many short-cuts as possible to save time. I don’t have time to spend an entire day sizing up a property... I use checklists and spreadsheets to do the heavy-lifting for me. You'll get the same checklists I use when you get the course. You’ll be able to go into a house and predictably say “yes, I can make money here.”

And if you’re a realtor, you’ll be able to give your buyers an easy way to spot a great deal on the market. Buyers love knowing that they can move into a home AND that they’ll be able to make money if they want. Plus it makes it easy for your sellers to know where they might be leaving money on the table too.

Can I still use this course if own a condo complex/ townhome?

Yes, absolutely. You won’t be able to use ALL the projects, but you may sometimes make way more. In fact, condos and townhomes are some of the most overlooked (and valuable) properties people want to buy now. A lot of older couples are looking to downsize their houses. And guess what? These buyers often have enough money to buy cash outright. You’re getting a bigger payday for your DIY while selling your home fast. :) 

How much time do these projects take?

Most projects will take an amateur DIYer 30-60 days to complete (with permits). Some of the advanced projects may take longer (120+ days) and require specialized tools or construction skills. But beginners will find there are MORE than enough "easy" projects to get their first $5K project done.

Do I already need to be handy to do these projects?

No, it isn’t required. But you do have to be willing to do some of these projects yourself. If you don’t want to do that you can still hire out all these projects. I’ll give you my exactly checklist and strategy for hiring labor and contractors using Craigslist. This will help you sniff out great subcontractors while paying 30-50% less than hiring a traditional architect or contractor off of Google. 

What tools do I need to complete these projects?

Most of these projects don’t require more than your basics… screwdrivers, hammer, wire cutters, a cordless drill, a sawsall, a right angle drill, a portable circular saw, gloves, safety glasses, ear protection and a head lamp. And if these projects DO require more than your basic tools, I’ll show you how to get great tools for 50% less than you’d find at the big box stores like Home Depot or Lowes. 

What kind of projects are included in the Add $5K Course?

I’ve included projects that can be done by anyone from brand-new DIY homeowner to seasoned home flippers. The first 7 days you’ll get projects that range from when to add an extra bedroom to one simple ceiling treatment that is worth $1000 per room. Days 8-14 will cover some of the more advanced projects like the best windows to swap out in your house. Days 15-21 will then finish off with projects like the “mother-in-law” that can double how much you can make from every applicable property you own.
