Deal Maker Certification from Michael Blank

Even with COVID, when other areas like office and retail were seriously hurting, multifamily was still thriving and cash flowing.

How is that?

In 2008, banks issued more than 3 million foreclosure notices. That’s one out of every 54 homes across America.

And where did these families go?

Many downsized their life and their monthly cost of living by moving into apartments.

People will always pay to keep a roof over their head. It’s one of the first expenses they take care of.

And for many people, multifamily is the most cost effective way to maintain their lifestyle.

Unlike any other investment in the world, apartment buildings have 4 profit centers.

4 POWERFUL WAYS YOU MAKE MONEY WITH APARTMENT BUILDINGS​

CASH FLOW
This is the amount of money that is left after ALL expenses and mortgage payment.

APPRECIATION
This is the difference between what you bought the property for and what you sell it for (minus expenses).

LOAN REDUCTION
Also known as amortization, this is the amount by which your tenants paid down your mortgage balance.

SPONSOR FEES
If you’re going to raise money for the deal (which you should!) then you are entitled to certain fees for “syndicating” the deal.

For example, you can pay yourself an acquisition fee when you close on the property (typically around 3% of the purchase price).

You can also charge an “Asset Management Fee” (typically 1% of the money raised each year you own the building) and an “Asset Disposition Fee” (typically 1% of the sales price when you sell the building).

Based on my own experience and observing other full-time (and independently wealthy) real estate investors, I came to the conclusion that…

Apartment building investing is the SINGLE BEST real estate strategy to get yourself out of the rat race within the next 1-3 years!

Apartment Buildings (even smaller ones) are the single best way to create passive income and long-term wealth so you can build a life where you’re in full control.

It isn’t rocket science.

You can actually do this as a complete beginner, like Drew Kniffin. Drew bought a small 4-plex with a friend, and then they bought a 5-plex together with their property manager.

That gave them the confidence to look for larger deals, and they pooled their resources, refinanced one of their previous properties, and closed on a 32-unit building in the Twin Cities.

Two weeks later Drew quit his job. And that leads me to another point…

WHY IS YOUR FIRST DEAL SO IMPORTANT?

When you do your first deal, even if it’s only a 12-unit deal, here’s what you’ll have you didn’t have before when you got started:

• Track record and credibility.
• ​Investors (who invest more with you and refer you to other investors).
• ​Brokers feeding you (off-market) deals.
  ​Team on the ground, ready to go.

Most likely, when you close on that first deal, you have several deals in the pipeline or under contract. And I can guarantee you that that 2nd deal is bigger than the first.

If you start with a 12-unit deal, then your second deal is going to be 20-50 units. And the 3rd deal is going be even larger.

Forget everything else for the moment. Do whatever it takes to focus on that one deal.

Once you do that one deal, everything else will get much easier and you will get your second and third shortly thereafter.

What’s YOUR Rat Race Number?

The Rat Race Number is the amount of passive income you would need each month to cover your living expenses and quit your job.

For example, let’s say your Rat Race Number is $5,000 per month in passive income.

Assuming each unit produces $91 in monthly income, that means you would need to control 55 units to quit your job.

Here is how it’s likely to play out once you do your first 12-unit deal:

• Once you close on that deal, you’ll probably already have your second deal under contract, and it’ll probably be between 20 and 30 units (based on my experience).
• And you’ll probably do your 3rd deal several months after that, and that deal will be somewhere between 30 and 60 units.

By this point you control 62 units (remember with other people’s money!), and your passive income is $5,621 per month.

But equally important is that your NET WORTH increases by $17,087 per month if you consider your fees, appreciation and amortization (the other 3 profit centers).

And it all started with that one small deal.

See the potential?

REMEMBER: YOU just need to FOCUS on your FIRST deal!

Once you close on your first deal, the 2nd and 3rd follow in rapid, almost automatic succession.

Philippe Schulligen closed on an 80-unit deal in just five months.

Six months later, he closed on another 168 units.

That deal earned him over $60,000 in acquisition fees alone.

Today he’s financially free and actually is working to mentor other people who want to do the same.

Gary Guidi closed on a 27-unit and 10-unit apartment building back-to-back.

Just five months in, he was able to quit his full-time job thanks to the passive income from those properties.

Now, your first deal doesn’t always come quickly. It can take some time.

Like for Bruce Fraser who took nine months to close on a 134-unit apartment complex in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

But six months after that, he closed on another 110-unit deal.

And another six months after that, closed on an 80-unit deal.

Together, these 3 properties bring in $15,000 per month in passive income for Bruce and his family.

“Yes, Michael, I hear you, but I don’t have the money, experience, or time!”

Because of this, you might say that apartment building investing works for SOME people but not YOU, and you dismiss it as a viable strategy.

Don’t think you can get started with apartment building investing because you don’t have the money to invest?

I will teach you how to raise it from others. It’s easier than you think if you follow my proven step-by-step system. You will then realize that your ability to scale your business is only limited by your ability to raise money (which I will also teach you).

Don’t think you have the experience and worried people won’t take you seriously?

I will teach you techniques so that people won’t know you’re a newbie. With a little bit of knowledge (and scripts!), people will treat you like an experienced investor.

Don’t know how to analyze deals and make offers?

Within 30 days, you’ll become a master at analyzing deals and you’ll confidently make offers.

Don’t think you have time? Or maybe you don’t want to wait forever to get results?

You can do this with a full-time job. And I’ll show you how to do your first deal in the NEXT 90 days…

Even if you have no prior real estate experience and using no money of your own.

Where one deal can be as valuable as renting out a dozen single family homes or more.

Where property management is already built in so you’re not answering the phone in the middle of the night because a toilet overflowed.

Where even during a recession or worldwide pandemic, money is still flowing in.

And the best part is, you don’t need hundreds or thousands of units to become financially free.

You just need to get your first deal and the others flow like dominoes.

Here’s how you’re going to get your first apartment deal and collect what I call “Mailbox money”…

Passive income month after month that puts your mind at ease so you’re not worrying about money anymore… you’re spending more time with the people you love doing the things that you’ve always wanted to do.

INTRODUCING

We’ve helped so many people do their first deal and quit their jobs that we systemized the process into the “Deal Maker Certification”, our proven system to becoming financially free with multifamily real estate in 1-3 years.

I say 1-3 years to be conservative, but many of our students have gotten on the path to financial freedom much quicker by following this system.

People like Brian Wagers who, in just 60 days, closed on his first 12-unit apartment building.

Or Isiah Walker who had 228 units in less than 12 months.

Stuart Dukeman teamed up with his son and took massive action…

Raising $400,000 in 4 weeks on their first deal and ending up with over 1,000 units in under a year!

The reason Deal Maker Certification works so well is that it’s a complete experience for buying apartment buildings with other people’s money so you can replace your income with consistent passive income.

It consists of three major components:

• Knowledge: Teaches you all aspects of multifamily investing;
• Action: Gives you the step-by-step action plan that results in experience and confidence to speak to brokers and investors; and

PART ONE OF THE DEAL MAKER CERTIFICATION IS ACTION

The way you’re going to apply what you’ve learned and start taking action is by going through the Certification Process.

This is a step-by-step process consisting of small, simple tasks you can do in your spare time each week.

Just follow the simple instructions – don’t overthink things, just do them.

Once you complete all of the tasks, you will receive your Deal Maker Certification!

I know from studying dozens of people who did their first deal that they all followed the Certification process to become “Deal Ready” which empowered them to close their first deal.

This is why completing the Deal Maker Certification is an important milestone on your journey to financial freedom.

Remember…

Becoming “Deal Ready” makes your first deal inevitable – it’s just a matter of time.

In Deal Maker Certification, you’re also getting access to the Syndicated Deal Analyzer.

Today the SDA is the most widely used financial model for syndications on the planet.

The Syndicated Deal Analyzer is a fully customizable Excel spreadsheet that takes you from analyzing deals in hours down to minutes.

That way you can make more offers and do more deals in less time.

If the idea of working on a spreadsheet makes you feel a little uncomfortable, that’s okay.

Because after you go through the training videos inside, you’ll quickly become an expert at analyzing deals.

It will give you instant credibility when you talk with other investors and professionals so they take you more seriously.

“I have used the Syndicated Deal Analyzer and everything that Michael taught me to analyze over 20 deals. It has cut down on the time it takes to come up with an offer price so that I can make more offers. I just closed on my first large apartment building deal, a 32-unit, and am confident that I can do another one or two deals this year. And I’m happy to report that two weeks ago I quit my job! A dream come true. Thanks, Michael for all your help!”

Drew Kniffin,
Minneapolis-St. Paul

“I closed on my first apt building deal, a 130+ unit in the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex – 9 months after joining Michael’s program. That program dramatically increased my confidence, and I was then able to analyze, negotiate, and put this property under contract. That first deal added about $8,000 to my monthly income. 6 months later I closed on 110 units and 6 months after that, another 80 units. These deals are now generating $15,000 per month for me and my family. Thanks, Michael, for all your help!”

Bruce F.
Texas

“I just closed on my first deal, 10 units in upstate NY. I purchased it for $190K and paid myself an $8,000 acquisition fee at closing. I raised the money from an investor and so I have none of my own money in the deal. The property is already worth a lot more than what I paid for it and I’ll refinance in a few months. Michael, I’d like to thank you for your apartment buying system and for the personal coaching. You helped me do my first deal, and I’m already working on several (larger) ones.”
