Frequently Asked Questions


We get it—making a big move like this comes with questions. Let’s cut through the noise, clear up the confusion, and get you ready to take action. No fluff, just real answers so you can start transforming properties and building the future you want.

For Those Drained from Being on Call 24/7 for Short-Term Rentals

How is this different from short-term rentals?

Development gets you out of the constant grind. Instead of dealing with guest requests, you’re building assets that work for you—either selling for profit or generating passive income without the 24/7 chaos.

I’m already stretched thin. How can I take this on?

The masterclass is self-paced with live coaching for focused support. Plus, you’ll learn how to build a team so you’re not doing everything solo.

For Those Burnt Out from Flipping or Single-Family Homes

Why move from flipping SFHs to development?

Development is where the real margins are. It’s bigger, more rewarding, and lets you create spaces your community actually needs while growing your wealth.

Isn’t development riskier than flipping?

Not when you know the playbook. We’ll show you how to avoid costly mistakes and take calculated steps to ensure success.

Absolutely. Your life experience is your edge. Development lets you use your skills to build something meaningful while creating financial freedom.

How does this give back to the community?

It’s all about impact. You’ll learn how to transform overlooked spaces into vibrant places your community needs, leaving a legacy you’ll be proud of.
