The Founder’s Story
I’ve lost everything.
Three times.
“I never published a book. I never did TV or radio. But at any point you can roll up on my neighborhoods and everybody knows me — because my projects are everywhere. You can rub it, touch it, feel it.”
That statement was delivered to a room of over 1,000 investors — millionaires and billionaires included. The published authors and polished panelists had 3 or 4 people waiting. I had over 500 standing in line. The market already voted. Authenticity beats polish. Every single time.
2008 – 2012
Built a $12–15M portfolio from nothing. Lost everything in the market crash. Relocated to Austin with $200, a truck, and a refusal to quit.
2012 – 2018
Rebuilt a multi-million dollar empire from scratch. Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas coast. Lost another $4–5M — savings, retirement, everything — again.
2017–2024
Third rebuild underway. Serious health battles. Two broken legs. Two broken arms. Two major knee surgeries. Crawled through his own house for six months. Never stopped praying.
2025–Now
The Austin floods hit. $689,000 in damages. A house filled with mud and mold. Selling everything to start over — again. And still waking up every morning in prayer, full of hope. This is Chapter Four.
Who This Is For
I’m here for the one that wandered off.
Not the 99 already safe in the pen. The one who’s lost. The one who’s struggling. The one who paid $10,000 to a guru and got nothing. You belong here.
The Beginner With Nothing
You don’t have capital, connections, or credentials. Neither did I. Three times. I’ll show you exactly how to start from zero — because I’ve done it more times than I can count.
The Guru-Burned Investor
You paid $10K–$20K for a course, got a Facebook group and a Zoom call, and walked away with nothing actionable. I’ll give you what they never did — real operational truth.
The Faith-Based Rebuilder
You’ve lost everything — financially, physically, maybe relationally. You need someone who understands that kind of breaking. I’ve been broken three times. And I know what comes after.
The Investor Ready to Scale
You’re stuck at single-family and want to move into apartments, commercial, or new construction. I’ve done all of it — and I’ll show you the exact playbook, not a theory.
Services & Pricing

JV Partnership
You bring capital. We bring everything else — deal sourcing, underwriting, construction management, contractor oversight, financing strategy, and exit execution. This is a business partnership, not a coaching relationship.
$5,000+ / retainer — deal dependent
Operating Philosophy
The principles that have survived every storm.
01
Win Before You Start
You win the battle before you step on the battlefield. No deal begins without a complete plan. Analysis before action — always.
02
Buy, Build & Sell
You make money on the buy, the build, AND the sale. Miss any one of the three and you leave real money on the table. This is not cosmetic flipping.
03
Five Exits Minimum
One exit strategy is a trap. Every deal gets five. If the market shifts, the financing changes, or the timeline extends — you already have a plan.
04
Walk Away With Strength
The best deal you will ever do is the deal you walk away from. Marginal deals don’t get touched. Integrity of the underwrite is non-negotiable.
05
Expertise Is Seniority
Money does not make you the senior partner. Expertise does. Capital partners bring funding — not operational direction. The operator runs the deal.
06
Faith Is the Foundation
Every deal, every partnership, every rebuild — God is the foundation everything else is built on. This is not a tagline. It is the operating system.
10% Of Every Dollar — Off The Top — Always
Before expenses. Before taxes. Before personal compensation. Ten percent of every dollar this business earns goes to causes that matter. This is not a financial strategy. It is a faith commitment. It is the compass by which everything else is oriented.
It goes first. Always. Because a man who gives first has already decided what kind of man he is.
“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce.” — Proverbs 3:9
