How is this different from a course or content platform?

There's no pre-recorded curriculum to work through alone. You're working directly with two active operators, in a small, selected cohort, toward a guaranteed outcome — not consuming content at your own pace.

Is this virtual, in-person, or both?

The core engagement runs virtually through structured calls, with direct access to Francisco and John throughout. Specifics are confirmed on your discovery call.

What happens after I apply?

If it looks like a fit, we'll reach out to schedule a discovery call. That call is where we discuss your specific situation, the program structure, and investment.

How long does application review take?

Every application is reviewed personally by Francisco and John. We'll follow up directly once yours has been reviewed.

What's the investment, and how is payment structured?

Investment is discussed on your discovery call, after your application is reviewed.

Who is this for — and who is it not for?

This is for people serious about getting into their first real estate deal in the next 12 months, with real capital or capital-raising capability behind them. It's not for people looking for passive content consumption or a side hobby.

What's the weekly time commitment?

This varies by where you are in your deal pipeline, but most members commit several hours a week to calls, underwriting work, and outreach. We'll walk through realistic expectations on your discovery call.

How does the guarantee actually work?

You get into your first real estate deal within 12 months — fulfilled through Francisco and John partnering directly with you, serving as Key Principal (KP) on your deal, or entering into a Co-GP or joint-venture structure alongside you. If 12 months pass without a deal, we keep working with you until you get one.
