They didn't forget to teach you about money... they left it out on purpose.
Because if you knew how to make it work for you...
...you'd stop showing up to work for them.
They taught you algebra but not how to build wealth.
They taught you history but not how the tax code works.
They taught you chemistry but not the formula for financial freedom.
They designed a perfect trap:
• Student loans to start you in debt
• A 9-5 job taxed at the highest rate
• A 30-year mortgage that makes the bank rich
• A 401k that keeps you working until 65
But here's what they don't want you to see:
While the average Joe trades time for money, the millionaires:
• Use bank money to build wealth
• Pay the lowest tax rates
• Create passive income
• Own real assets that grow in value
• Win when inflation rises
And right now, we're looking the perfect storm in the face:
• 3.8 million homes short
• 72 million Millennials need housing
• Construction at historic lows
• Wall Street buying entire neighborhoods
The next 10 years will create more real estate millionaires than ever before.
The window is closing fast.
Every day you wait:
• Prices climb higher
• Good deals get harder to find
• More investors enter the market
• Wall Street buys up more inventory
You don't need:
• Special talent
• Huge savings
• Perfect timing
• Rich parents
You just need to know how the game really works.
If you want some help, let me know.

Just finished a NEW mini-book yesterday.
(And yes, I wrote it while watching my patio furniture fly across my Vegas backyard...)
It shows how to use SUPER BASIC real estate strategies to make money in ANY market.
Want to know something crazy?
Back in 2008-2009, my wife Mercedes and I flipped 62 properties and built a portfolio of 84 rental units.
Not because we were smart.
But because we didn't know we weren't supposed to be able to do that!
The mini-book shows exactly how we did it (just 5 simple steps).
And these same strategies work even BETTER in today's uncertain market.
If you'd like a copy, let me know and I'll send it to you.
It's free, and there's no catch.
(Unless you count having to listen to me complain about Vegas weather... and that's not backyard in the pic, by the way. Looks like they got hit a little harder than I did.)

Hey! So... funny story.
Remember how we're always talking about expecting the unexpected in business?
Well, here it is...
Starting tomorrow, everything coming in from Mexico and Canada is getting a fancy new +25% price tag attached to it. (Yeah, tariffs. It's official. 😴)
President Trump just confirmed, and it's happening faster than I can come up with a decent metaphor for it (which, if you know me, is pretty dang fast).
China's getting in on the action too - their numbers are jumping up 20%.
Thought you might want to know before you wonder why your Taco Tuesday ingredients or maple syrup suddenly cost more than your last direct mail campaign.
Maybe take a quick peek at where your stuff comes from when you get a chance.
No rush, but... you know... tomorrow is a thing.
Keep rockin',

P.S. On the bright side, this might be a great excuse to finally start that "buy local" initiative you've been thinking about. Just saying... 😉

HUD misplaces $2B... enough to fund 100,000 first-time homebuyer loans.
The question isn’t ‘Is DOGE legit?’ The question is ‘What else is Washington hiding?’

Randomly hopped on Facebook today (which never happens), and saw something that honestly made my day.
Actually, scratch that - made my whole damn week.
About 7-8 years ago, this dude walks into my world right after corporate America showed him the door.
You know that feeling - that 'holy crap, what now?' moment. (Fun times, right?)
But here's where it gets good...
Instead of doing the whole 'update the resume, pray for another soul-crushing job' thing, he decided to go all-in on real estate investing.
Started from absolute scratch.
Solo operator.
Just him against the market.
Fast forward to TODAY - my man's team just locked down EIGHT off-market deals in the past 8 days.
But wait, it gets better...
They've got 27 deals under contract right now, plus another 10 in escrow about to close.
(I'll pause while you let that sink in...)
Here's the real deal though - this isn't some overnight success story. This is what happens when someone:
1. Commits to figuring this stuff out
2. Actually does the work (shocking, I know)
3. Asks for help when they're stuck
4. Keeps pushing forward
5. Rinses and repeats
No magic pills.
No secret handshakes.
Just consistent action that compounds over time.
Pretty cool what's possible when you just... don't quit, right?
Well done, Parker!
💪🏼🏠
I should hop on FB more often.

Trump just rolled out a bunch of new housing policies in the last three weeks. Should we push for fast changes to grab possible gains, or move slowly to avoid major risks?

STOP SAVING FOR RETIREMENT.
Your 401k might be the biggest obstacle to your financial freedom.
Look - here's a weird story about this...
One of my students, Jeremiah, was "doing everything right" with $200k in his 401k by age 30. Good job, smart guy, following the traditional path.
But when I showed him the math, it hit him like a ton of bricks.
That $200k? It would generate about $8k yearly in retirement. Maybe enough for a really boring month in Florida when he's 65.
But that SAME $200k, invested in real estate our way? Started kicking out $24k+ in annual passive income while building equity.
He didn't wait.
Within 5 years, he turned that $200K into an $8M real estate portfolio. All before hitting 40.
...and it will still be producing income at the age of 62 (401K withdrawal eligibility age).
Here's what nobody tells you about retirement math:
- Traditional 401k = Wait 30 years (most of your life is in the past), live on 4% withdrawals
- Real estate = Start getting paid NOW, build equity while you sleep
- You don't need to wait decades to be financially free
Want to learn how to retire years earlier than your 401k would allow?

Here's something about creative real estate deals that nobody talks about.
It eventually comes up with every investor that asks for help.
You ready?
Because this is going to save you months (maybe years) of painful rejected offers and confused sellers looking at you like you're speaking alien language.
Here's the deal:
99% of investors are out there "looking for" creative financing deals. And that's exactly why they're struggling. Because these deals aren't necessarily found – they're CREATED.
(Stay with me, because I'm about to show you exactly how to do this...)
Let me give you the $100,000 framework that's generated millions in real estate deals for me and my clients.
MISTAKE: Most new investors go in hot, talking about seller financing, balloon payments, subject-to, and terms... watching their seller's eyes glaze over faster than a Krispy Kreme donut.
REALITY: Your seller doesn't care about, or even understand, your fancy investor terminology. They care about ONE THING: A solution to their problem.
So here's your new creative financing playbook:
1. Start with price. Only price. Nothing but price.
Why? Because money is the universal language. Your seller gets it. You get it. Simple.
💎 KEY POINT: This is where patience becomes your secret weapon. Don't rush this step. Too many investors get antsy and jump to creative financing too soon. Trust the process. Work the price angle thoroughly. Exhaust every traditional negotiation strategy first.
Every minute you spend negotiating price traditionally is building trust and rapport. The seller sees you're trying to make a straightforward deal work.
2. Hit a price wall? NOW – and only now – you introduce your ace card. But not like everyone else does...
Here's the exact script (I've personally used this countless times over the last 20 years):
"Mr. Seller, the market might allow me to give you a little more if I could give you some money now and the rest later... how much do you need right now?"
BAM!
Notice what we did there?
- No investor jargon
- No complicated terms
- Just a simple question that puts THEM in control
This is pure psychology. When they tell YOU how much they need for a down payment, they've mentally already accepted the idea of payments over time... making the terms infinitely easier to discuss.
🚨 IMPORTANT: The key to this entire process is PATIENCE. Don't rush to get creative. Let the price negotiation play out naturally. When you finally introduce creative terms, it should feel like a natural progression of the conversation, not a dramatic shift in direction.
