Stephanie's story. The North DFW micro-markets. What flipping actually is. Setting the foundation for the next 9 weeks.
MLS, off-market, driving for dollars. Then you walk a live Stephanie flip — before you know how to analyze it. See the opportunity first.
Analyze a deal in 20 minutes. Stephanie walks through 2 real deals — one that crushed it, one that didn't. Plus a live wholesaler session.
Cosmetic vs. structural. Big-ticket items. Building a scope before you make an offer. Students present their first deal analyses.
Fund a deal with none of your own money. Builder's risk insurance. A live hard money lender reviews your deal on the spot.
Contractor management, bid process, draw schedules. Plus Stephanie's war stories — real failures, what she lost, what she'd do differently.
A contractor leads you through real materials pricing. You build your actual project budget on-site. Where to save, where to splurge.
Texas purchase contracts. Exit strategy. Walk a near-complete flip with trained eyes — a title rep joins on-site to walk through closing.
A real estate CPA answers the questions investors are afraid to ask. Every student presents their deal for Stephanie's go/no-go feedback.
3-hour graduation. Pre-submitted deal packages. Peer feedback first, Stephanie closes every deal. You leave with a deal in hand.
Your first field trip is your first team member. Meet the title company that will close your future deals. Sign your cohort agreement. Meet your accountability partner.
Walk a live Stephanie renovation before you know how to analyze deals. The goal isn't analysis — it's making the opportunity real before the numbers arrive.
Walk an actual distressed wholesale property. See what raw opportunity looks like. Practice a quick on-site analysis — does the math work?
A contractor leads you through real materials for your real project. You leave with an actual line-item budget — real prices from a real store.
Return to a flip after 8 weeks of training. You see it completely differently. A title rep joins on-site to walk through closing.
A 3-hour capstone. Present your funded deal. Peer feedback. Stephanie's go/no-go. Certificates. You came in looking for a deal. You leave with one.
Teaches deal flow. Shows you live wholesale deals. Gets you on a preferred buyer list before you ever need one.
Reviews your actual deal analysis live. Tells you exactly what a lender needs to say yes to a first-time investor.
Leads the hardware store walk. Shows how materials are really priced and where investors waste money every time.
Joins the flip walk on-site. Walks through closing with a real deal in front of the class. They close your future deals too.
Answers the tax questions investors are afraid to ask. Short-term gains, entity structure, what to track from Day 1.
One hour every Tuesday with Stephanie — live, interactive, specific to North DFW.
Walk a live flip in Week 2. Price real materials in Week 7. Closing walkthrough in Week 8.
A wholesaler, hard money lender, contractor, title rep, and real estate CPA — embedded in the curriculum.
Intentionally paired on Day 1. Your partner challenges your thinking and holds you to your commitments.
Deal analyzer, scope-of-work checklist, contractor vetting sheet, materials budget — from 44 real deals.
Week 10 is a 3-hour capstone. You submit your deal package. Stephanie closes each one.
Graduation opens the alumni group — former students doing deals, sharing resources, partnering on projects.
Every example, comp, contractor, and lender is local. This is the North DFW playbook.
