You like your job. You just don’t want it to be your only option.

You’ve saved listings. Watched videos. Imagined owning a rental. Now you need to understand the decisions between finding a property and running it.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You have a steady job and want to buy your first rental in the next year or two
  • You've saved listings but don't know how to judge one
  • You want to see real rehab numbers before you commit
  • You already own several rentals, but they are not performing as you'd like

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF

  • You want a get-rich-quick plan
  • You're looking for personalized investment, legal, or tax advice

Look at this house. What would you budget?

Explore the listing photos, make a rough rehab estimate, then see how Lawrence approached it in the lesson.

What would you budget for the work?

Lawrence considers paint, flooring, kitchen and bathroom updates, lighting, and landscaping. Some items can stay; the roof and systems still need an in-person check.

Estimate the rehab work only—not the house purchase price. These are selected listing photos, not an inspection. There is no single correct answer.

$30,000–$31,000

Cabinet fix allowance about $300

Countertop allowance about $1,000

Roof and systems check in person

Unknown conditions inspect before committing

Spoken whole-project estimate $30,000–$31,000

Questions before you enroll

How much money do I need to buy a rental?

Your budget depends on the property, financing, renovation, and cash reserves. The course compares financing approaches. Its price does not include property-purchase or operating funds.

Can I study around a full-time job?

Yes. The video lessons are prerecorded and self-paced, so you can study around your schedule.

Do I have to buy near where I live?

No. The market lesson compares local and out-of-state investing, including the team and access each requires.

Is this only about short-term rentals?

No. The course compares long-term, mid-term, short-term, and by-the-room approaches, including their setup and management tradeoffs.

Do I need to do the renovation myself?

No. It covers doing work yourself, hiring contractors, comparing quotes, and checking progress.

Is the course relevant outside the U.S.?

The examples and financing discussion focus on U.S. residential rentals. Other locations need local legal, tax, and financing guidance.

What isn't covered in depth?

Commercial property, legal and regulatory requirements, and taxes are not covered in depth. This is education, not personal investment advice or a property-finding service.

Stop saving listings. Start running the numbers.

Work through the decisions behind your first rental at your own pace.
