Straight answers.
Do I need to be an experienced investor?
No. The program is built for first-time and early-stage investors. You complete four short lessons (about two hours total) before travel, then learn alongside the local team in person. Experienced investors use the visit to pressure-test their numbers and meet Memphis professionals.
Am I buying a property by joining a cohort?
No. No property purchase, funded loan or partner commitment is required to complete your preparation or attend. The goal is a clear plan and the right introductions, so you can decide your next step with confidence.
What does enrollment cost and what does it cover?
Enrollment is $5,000 and covers market introductions and access to our local infrastructure and materials. It is separate from property funds, travel, and any fees charged by lenders or other providers. Interest-free enrollment financing is available at sign-up; eligibility and exact terms are shown before you commit. The enrollment agreement governs what is included.
What happens on the Memphis visit?
The planned Memphis format includes a lunch-and-learn and a guided project tour with the local team. You hear how lenders, contractors and property managers evaluate real deals and ask your own questions. The itinerary and participating professionals are confirmed for each cohort.
Can you guarantee financing or returns?
No. We coordinate introductions to local professionals; lenders decide on their own terms, and every investment carries risk. Figures on this site are illustrative examples, not promises. Review any deal with your own attorney, CPA and lender.
When are the next cohorts?
Cohort dates are confirmed individually. Book a discovery call and we will share currently available dates or note your preferred window.
Will you expand beyond Memphis?
That is the plan. Memphis is our first market, and the same prepare-visit-plan format is designed to carry into future markets. Specific locations are announced only once confirmed.
