They went HARD in October
A brand-new month is here — and you know what that means: things are about to get BUSY. The end of the year is when the winners double down while everyone else slows down. 💪 But you? You’re here, you’re learning, and you’re taking action — and that deserves some recognition. 👏 Here’s who absolutely CRUSHED it in October: 🏆 1st Place: @Jose Pinell — Sendng you my brand-new, unreleased EMD Guide before anyone else gets it! You earned it. 💼🥈 2nd Place: @Kian Zarnegar I am dropping you my 5 Minute Mastery Method Guide 🥉 3rd Place: @Tommy Thornburgh You get my Call5, Write 5 Guide to get you jumpstarted. And because I’m all about rewarding momentum… 🚀 Everyone wins this month. I’ll be dropping brand-new resources into the Classroom all month long so you can keep leveling up. Keep showing up. Keep posting. Keep learning. Because next month, bragging rights on Coffee with Paul are on the line — and I know you want that spotlight. ☕🔥 Let’s make November your breakthrough month. 👊 What is one thing you are going to make happen this month? Drop it in the comments and let's cheer each other on through the homestretch of 2025.

Quite well @Fernanda Pereira Ribeiro, Thanks for asking.
Actual vs Pro Forma Financials
Most broker Pro-forma* is too ideal! It anticipates near 0% vacancy, high rents, no repair costs, little cap-ex, perfect management, etc. ONLY buy based upon present numbers!!! *Compare Pro-forma side-by-side with the T12, Rent Roll, P & L, etc. To evaluate and get estimated purchase values from Pro-forma only information do this process: Avg rent X Units X 12 = Gross Rent. Gross Rent X 0.90 [10% vacancy] = Effective Gross Rent (EGR) EGR X 0.55 (45% Expense ratio) = NOI. [If under-performing use higher vacancy and expense ratios.] NOI ÷ Market Cap Rate range** = Market value range [use upper and lower figures, higher cap rate range => more conservative property values] Market value range [same as ARV] X 0.7 - repair estimate = Maximum Acceptable Offer (MAO) - wholesale fee. **Use lower and higher cap rate range to get MAO range, point out property deficiencies [high vacancies, high expense ratio, low rents, and needed repairs] to seller, and negotiate toward lower MAO while maintaining cash-on-cash target.
Two Groups - Each with their own focus.
Commercial Deal Finder 101 is a group of people interested in real estate in the Skool community and they can generally ask questions and share information. While Commercial Commercial Deal Finder School is a paid Skool community with educational material, RE documents, tools, spreadsheets, and more to help you in your journey. With this are search software, direct mail programs, RE management programs, documents for varied contracts, access to videos and training material, and and a set of people who own or seek to own RE ranging from 1 to 4 unit rentals, 5+ CMF, self-storage, RV parks, mobile home parks, and mixed use commercial properties. Some members are quite wealthy with experience to share. Some have capital to deploy. Some want to learn and are eager to buy their own RE to improve their circumstances. Some want to find properties for others and get a transaction fee from the process. We work together as best suits our individual circumstances and with the RE deals that are secured under a purchase contract. Friendships are made, experiences are shared, knowledge is freely communicated, questions are asked and answered, prudent guidance is offered, and warnings of pitfalls are shared to help members in their journey.

Hustle. Save. Sacrifice. Lose.
So many people spend decades chasing “someday.” They hustle, save, and sacrifice, hoping that the system will eventually reward them. But the truth? The system wasn’t built for your freedom. That’s why I created the Set for Life Virtual Summit. To give you the same roadmap that’s helped everyday people break free. 👉 Vera struggled for a year with nothing to show… then landed two apartment deals in two months. 👉 Dennis was a truck driver who closed his first deal in 30 days. 👉 Rachel went from $30K in debt to a $3M net worth in just 5 years. These aren’t superhuman stories. These are people who started exactly where you are — but with the right guidance, they changed everything. This summit isn’t just about real estate. It’s about rewriting your story. If you’ve ever thought, “What’s next? How do I finally get ahead?” — this is for you. 📆 September 17–18. Grab your FREE ticket here. Drop a 🙌 if you’re joining us. .

If you think you don't have the time... read this
Here's an excerpt from a young man who wholesaled his first deal while living in Africa See below, it's worth the read (it's an post from another real estate group). I'm not taking credit. All the credit goes to this guy who put in the work. Check out his schedule. Try and tell me you don't have more advantages than this young man. He lives in Africa, English is not his 1st language, and no prior experience You have the time, getting the result just isn't a priority for you right now. To make sure you actually read his post tell me in the comments how many cold calls did he make?
