Live Mentorship | Residential Building

Are you the thing limiting your first build?

Join Builder School - Find The Land, Fund The Build, Sell It For Profit

It’s a hands-on mentorship where you get personalized, actionable direction from a residential builder who finds the land, gets the bank to fund it, builds the home, and sells it for profit.

What people are saying:

“Miguel walked me through my first spec build from lot to closing. Netted more on one house than two years of flipping.”
First-time builder, Texas
“The bank turned me down twice. After Miguel's loan playbook I had two lenders competing for the deal.”
Former electrician, Florida
“Found an off-market lot in a week using his sourcing checklist. The margin was there before I even broke ground.”
Real estate investor, Arizona
“I've been a framer for 15 years. Miguel taught me the business side I was missing. First build sold in 11 days.”
Tradesman, Georgia

What you’ll get in the mentorship:

This is the exact deck behind a live Houston project - the land, the budget, the comps, the exits, and the timeline. It’s the same math you’ll be taught to run on your own first build.

Questions people ask:

It isn't a course. It's direct work on your deal. We start with your market, your capital, and your timeline. Then we go tactical: how to score a lot, how to underwrite it, how to package the loan, how to design to the comps, and how to run the draw schedule without bleeding margin. Everything is the same process Miguel uses on his own builds.
