Testimonials that Define Our Success

The information is so focused, detailed, and encompassing everything you need to know to set up your business. The pace of the lessons move you very quickly through only the pertinent data allowing you to focus on what you need to know and not get lost in too many “what ifs”. Maura walks you step by step through thoughtfully developed metrics at the macro and micro level to reduce your risk and give you the best opportunity for success. Her personal anecdotes enrich the material and allow you a holistic view into what it takes to be successful and how to protect yourself. You can tell Maura put this information together through her genuine desire to help people succeed, I find this approach so refreshing amongst a sea of real estate “get rich quick” schemes. I know this information works because Maura has helped me along the way over the past few years, as I set up an LLC and also purchased and now rent out a property. This is a great course for anyone; those who want to start a major business or those who, like myself, want to make financial gains with minimal investment of time.

Wow - to be honest, I'm not sure what I was expecting (probably investment jargon I don't understand), but this is BEYOND...truly amazing. Firstly, the UX/UI for this site is fantastic! Very easy to navigate, simple branding, and such a logical flow. I loved that there were multiple ways to engage with the content (audio, reading, slides, summary, resources). Secondly, starting in real estate investment seemed like a daunting task - I didn't even know where to start! But your narration made the content so approachable - after Module 2, I felt confident I could complete a thorough business plan with the help of this course. You broke down how to find each of the pieces needed for an investment thesis, which made it more intuitive to prioritize what and where I needed to focus.
