First off, welcome to the Stacking Houses and congratulations for taking the first step on your journey to financial independence. The purpose of this introduction is to help set the stage for what you can expect as we go throughout the course. Now the goal of the program is to give not only give you the framework and tools required to be a successful real estate investor but also the confidence needed to be able to close your first deal. So, will you be able to get your first deal by the end of the 8 weeks, probably not but you should be able to make your first offer. It just depends on how fast you move through each module and how much action you take after each lesson. I also want to address one concern for those with very busy schedules. The course is designed to be able to move through each section quickly so it should only take you a few hours each week. Don't worry I know many of you are working full time jobs in addition to other responsibilities like family. I know when I first got started I had a hectic travel schedule but was able to find spare time on airplanes and layovers and you'll find spare time as well.

Another concern are those that have a limited budget. Look we are all at different stages of life. When I was younger I didn't have a lot of money but I had more time and was able to partner with folks that had more money to do a deal. Now that I'm 45 and have three kids of my own, I have less time but more money to invest to help secure my retirement.

I also want to warn you about something and it’s what all entrepreneurs come across when they venture out on a new path and these are the naysayers. It may be your family or friends telling you why this cannot be done or you’re better off just giving your money to a financial advisor investing in some mediocre mutual fund. Please keep this in mind that 90% of millionaires have made money through real estate. Historically it’s one of the most proven models if you have the tools and the resources to do it correctly. And I want to throw this out to you as well. If you feel like you need some extra assistance throughout the course, I do offer one-on-one coaching to help work through the challenges you may have.

So let me give you a quick tour of the course. You will notice that we have the course curriculum for each week starting with week one. Some of you may have past experience but I encourage you to go through lesson in chronological order from Week One to Week Eight as there are a ton of Pro Tips and nuggets of gold that you're sure to miss if you fast forward. Each week there will be a step-by-step check list designed to walk you through each step in the process. We have also included documents and guides that will correspond to each lesson. These documents can easily be downloaded for your own personal use. The idea here is to help you build a content library of everything you will need to buy your first deal.

Finally, I encourage you to join the Stacking Houses Facebook group where you can connect me as well as like minded investors. There are a lot of really successful people in this group and there’s probably some near you that you can connect with and maybe even partner up with to do a deal. So with that let's jump in!
