Three types of students.
One analytical framework.
You don't need real estate experience. You need the right numbers and the judgment to read them.
Running spreadsheets at midnight
You've got a W-2 and a spreadsheet open at 11pm. You know the math matters — you just don't know which math. Catalyst teaches you to read the numbers before you read a single listing.
BEFORE
Analyzed 47 properties. Offered on zero. Didn't know what "good" looked like.
AFTER CATALYST
Closed first duplex in 4 months. $487/mo cash flow.
→ 4 months to first close
Sold 30 homes, bought zero
You know contracts, comps, and closing costs. What you don't know is how to underwrite a rental for your own portfolio. The investor math is different — and now you can learn it without guessing.
BEFORE
Helped 12 investors buy properties last year. Still renting yourself.
AFTER CATALYST
Bought first 3-unit using client's lender. 9.2% CoC.
→ 9.2% cash-on-cash return
No one in the family did this
"Passive income" was a phrase you heard online. You learned the hard way it requires active education. Catalyst gives you the analytical foundation your network couldn't — without the $5,000 guru seminar.
BEFORE
Lost $8,000 on a "deal" that looked good on the surface.
AFTER CATALYST
Built 4-unit portfolio in 18 months. $2,100/mo net.
→ $2,100/mo net across portfolio

What can this unit actually rent for?
Reading Rent Comps Like an Appraiser
Most investors look at Zillow and call it a comp. In Module 02, you learn the four adjustments that separate an accurate rent estimate from a wishful one — bed count, condition, distance, and days on market.
In this module:
Why Zillow overestimates by 8-12% in most markets
The 1-mile radius rule for accurate comps
Adjusting for condition: the $75-$150/sqft framework
How to read DOM as a negotiating signal

Real deals. Real numbers.
These aren't success stories. They're deal analyses — the same ones you'll run in the course.
"I ran 60 deals in the analyzer before I made my first offer. When I finally pulled the trigger, I already knew exactly what I was buying."

"I'd sold 200 homes and never bought one. Catalyst taught me the investor math I was missing. Now I use DSCR as a filter before I even show a property."
