If any of these sound like you,
this class was built for you
None of them mean homeownership is off the table. They usually mean you've only ever been shown the retail version of buying a home.
Someone told you that you can't qualify right now.
You assume your credit isn't good enough to even try.
You think you need $40K–$60K sitting in savings first.
You're pre-approved - but nothing you'd actually want is in that range.
Rent climbs every year and buying keeps drifting further away.
A house that needs work sounds like a renovation you'd have to manage.

There's a better path to homeownership. One that works when the usual way won't.
Off-market opportunity
Renovated before move-inThe retail way vs. the SLD way
Same buyer. Same budget. Very different transaction.
The traditional path
- Search the same public listings everyone else sees
- Compete with every retail buyer in your price range
- Pay close to today's market value
- The last owner's remodel is already priced in
- Move in and live with someone else's design taste
The SLD path
- Start with what you can realistically afford and the right financing path
- Hunt privately, with heavy emphasis on off-market homes
- Buy at a price that leaves room in the deal
- Structure renovation into the plan where the loan program allows
- Our team manages the renovation - you pick the finishes
- Move into a home renovated around what you actually wanted
Same $600,000 house. Two very different transactions.

Three steps. That's the whole model.
Not Home Buying 101. This is the process we actually run with buyers.
Find it off-market
Homes that never hit Zillow - priced before the renovation, not after it.
Buy it right
Below retail, with the renovation structured into the deal instead of your savings.
Move in finished
You pick the finishes, our team runs the work, you get keys to a done home.
That's it. The class walks through each step with real numbers and live Q&A.
"I thought I needed $40,000 just to get in the door."
A recent buyer purchased a home around $280,000 using FHA financing. After the way the financing was structured and the seller concessions we negotiated, they were roughly $2,200 out of pocket in total. The point isn't that FHA loans exist - it's that the cash number most people carry in their head is often nothing like the real one. Your numbers depend on your lender, loan program, property, and terms.
Total out of pocket, that transaction
~$2,200
What buyers say after the class
“A lender told me no and I stopped looking for two years. The class showed me exactly what was blocking me - and it was fixable in months, not years.”
Brian K.
Tempe, AZ
“Being 1099 felt like a dead end every time I applied. Turns out I was applying the wrong way, with the wrong documents, to the wrong programs.”
Marcus T.
Glendale, AZ
“I was convinced I had to save $40,000 before I could even start. The real number for my situation wasn't close to that.”
Jill H.
Phoenix, AZ
“We were approved, but everything in our range needed work anyway. Buying off-market and renovating it got us the house we actually wanted.”
The Ortegas
Surprise, AZ
“I assumed my credit disqualified me. They walked me through what actually moves the needle instead of just telling me to wait.”
Danielle R.
Mesa, AZ
“The renovation part is what sold me. I picked the finishes, never dealt with a contractor, and moved into a finished home.”
Sasha M.
Chandler, AZ

The questions we hear most
Do I need $50,000 saved to do this?+
Not necessarily. Down payment and cash-to-close depend on your loan program, the property, and how the transaction is negotiated. A big part of the class is showing what the real cash requirement can look like versus what most people assume.
Am I going to be managing contractors?+
No. This isn't a DIY plan. SLD manages the renovation process. Your job is choosing finishes and design decisions - not chasing subcontractors.
Will I be living in a construction zone?+
The intent of the model is renovation before you move in, so you're not living through the work. Timelines vary by property and scope; one past buyer's project ran roughly 90 days, but that's an example, not a standard.
Isn't buying and renovating more expensive than buying finished?+
That's the assumption we spend real time on. When the purchase happens off-market and the renovation is structured into the deal, the total picture can look very different from paying retail for someone else's finished remodel.
What if my credit isn't great?+
Bring it to the class. Credit matters, but it's one input among income, employment, program, and structure - and it's frequently not the deal-breaker people assume.
Is this only for first-time buyers?+
No. First-time buyers are welcome, but this is for anyone who's been told no, feels priced out, or can't find a home they actually want inside their approval amount.
Is the webinar free? Will it be recorded?+
It's free. Show up live if you can - the Q&A at the end is where most people get their own situation answered.
Maybe you haven't been priced out. Maybe you've just been shown one way to buy.
Spend an hour with us on September 9 and see the entire process, start to finish.
