Question in The Room
Why do most investors rely on: • mezz debt • equity partners • complex stacks when you can structure the deal to eliminate all three? Curious how everyone is approaching this 👇

Hello @Jai Thompson Can you explain your process a little more say through an example of a past deal?
90 Day Deal Challenge!
Attached is a one-pager. I absolutely believe that everyone who follows these steps will be under contract for a deal within 90 days. Everyone in the mentorship group, I am going to do everything I can to hold you accountable. However, everyone in the community is welcome to this challenge. I'll be holding myself accountable in the comment section below as well. Good luck and happy hunting.

I signed the PSA on the Colorado Springs 10 unit... time to raise some capital 😀
10-unit in Colorado Springs, CO
I just got a 10-unit apartment deal under contract in Colorado Springs and am putting together a small group of investors. Purchase price: $1.25M 100% occupied Strong day-one cash flow Clear path to increase NOI from ~$99K to $120K+ Located near downtown redevelopment with solid rental demand. We’re targeting:• 8% preferred return• Profit split + equity upside Looking for a few partners to help complete the equity. If you’re open to taking a look, message me and I’ll send details.

@Jai Thompson That’s exactly how I look at it as well — protecting the downside if execution takes longer than expected. A few ways I’m structuring that into the deal: • We’re entering with strong in-place cash flow and a DSCR around 1.4–1.5, so the property comfortably covers debt even without hitting pro forma rents• I’m underwriting expenses more conservatively (~40% vs. current), so there’s a built-in buffer if costs come in higher• We’re planning for a phased rent approach rather than assuming immediate increases — gives flexibility if the market softens or turnover is slower• Maintaining reserves at closing to cover any short-term variance in income or unexpected repairs• Keeping leverage at ~70% so we’re not overexposed if NOI takes longer to grow So the way I see it, the deal works on day-one cash flow, and the operational upside is more of a bonus than a requirement to stay stable. Happy to walk through the downside scenarios if helpful — I’ve stress-tested it with flat rents and higher expenses and it still holds above breakeven.

Hello All, Wanted to provide an update: 1415 S. Corona Ave. Colorado Springs, CO - 10 Units, Purchase Price $1.25M - Raise $500k - 14–17% IRR - 8–10% CoC I have structured this acquisition to prioritize capital preservation first and growth second — it’s a cash-flowing asset on day one with a DSCR above 1.4, and is underwritten conservatively with elevated expenses, phased rent increases, and six months of reserves in place. While this isn’t a deep discount purchase, the margin is created through disciplined operations and controllable levers like rent alignment, RUBS, and expense optimization. I have stress-tested the deal under downside scenarios — including flat rents and higher vacancy — and it continues to cover debt and hold value, which is the foundation of the investment. The upside comes from execution, but the deal is designed to perform even if that execution takes longer than expected. I am assembling a small group of 3–5 investors for this opportunity — reach out directly to review full underwriting and discuss participation. DM, email, or phone me
Mentorship Thursday Lesson
With the new calculator released we're gonna dive into the new calculator and do a refresher on how to use the calculator. There have been a couple of missing inputs on deals recently, and I wanna make sure everyone understands how to use the calculator to evaluate their deals so that you can come to Tuesday's calls prepared

@Christian Osgood Have you tried to modify the GPT to add the new calculator?

@Gregg Lancer $75k would be the min but the more offered the higher the equity portion.
