The whole deal on one page

How a seller lead becomes an assigned contract and a title closing. A flowchart walkthrough from the course library. Sample data and example numbers only. Real estate and advertising laws vary by state; check your local rules and consult an attorney.

Most people who "try wholesaling" lose money in one of three places.

01

Bad offers

They guess, and the deal either dies or has no spread.

02

No buyer

They sign a contract, then go looking for someone to buy it.

03

Bad leads

They spend on mail or ads that produce tire-kickers.

The Starter addresses all three in 14 short lessons.

Part 1 · The Deal · 8 lessons
  • Welcome: the deal machine on one page
  • Why assignments come first
  • Deal triage: assignment, novation or follow-up (with flowchart)
  • Know your state's rules before you sign anything
  • Underwriting for your buyer: ARV, repairs and buyer %
  • The wholesale offer formula: ARV × Buyer % − Repairs − Your Fee
  • Where to find cash buyers
  • How the Assignment of Contract works
Part 2 · The Leads · 6 lessons
  • Direct mail by the numbers: budget, spend and realistic response
  • Direct-from-county lists, the edge most investors skip
  • Scoring owners 1–5 and mailing only the 4s and 5s
  • Cadence, drops and consistency
  • Google Ads: intent over volume and the 3-campaign core stack
  • Conversion hygiene: making sure a "lead" is really a lead

Who it's for

  • New investors who want a clear first-deal path
  • Agents and flippers adding assignments
  • Operators who want their team on one playbook

Who it's not for

Questions

Is wholesaling legal in my state?

Many states regulate it, and some require a license or specific disclosures. Lesson 4 shows you what to check, and we recommend talking to a local attorney. This is not legal advice.

I don't have money for deals.

Assignments usually need earnest money rather than a down payment. Program members also get Funding Access: we broker investor loans for many lenders. TFB Holdings LLC may receive compensation from the lender; approval, rates and terms are determined solely by the lender.

I don't have much time.

Each lesson is short. Many people finish the Starter in a weekend, but go at your own pace.

What if it's not for me?

You're covered by our refund policy: if the Starter isn't a fit, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund your $149. See the Refund Policy.

Will I make money?

I can't promise that, and nobody honest can. Most people who buy courses make little or no money. Results depend on your market, effort, capital and execution.

What comes after?

If you want everything (all three full courses, the 6-template Deal Templates Pack, the full novation playbook, the full mail and PPC systems, and Funding Access), the Program is the next step, and your $149 is credited when you upgrade from the offer page right after checkout.

Refund policy: If the Starter isn't a fit, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase for a refund of the $149. This is a satisfaction refund policy, not a promise of any result. Full policy.
