Hey there! I’m so excited to share my journey with you. If you’ve been following the Grab the Map podcast, you probably already know a little about me—I’ve been a school teacher, a principal, and even a professor at a public university. I love education, I love teaching, and one of my biggest passions? Rental real estate. It’s honestly changed my life, and today I want to talk about how it all led to the creation of Grab the Map Education.
So, how did I get here? Well, back in 2019, I started this podcast because I realized that real estate investing had completely transformed my life. The more I learned, the more I knew I wanted to share this knowledge with others. That’s when a buddy of mine, Brady Barrett, and I started a meetup group for people interested in real estate. We would get together with folks who, like us, wanted to improve their lives and grow their businesses. And let me tell you—it was a game-changer.
I loved meeting people and talking with them about rental real estate. I’m still blown away by how these conversations continue to inspire me, and that’s what pushed me to expand this passion for sharing into something bigger. Grab the Map Education was born out of this desire to help others through more than just conversations. It’s about providing real, practical tools for anyone ready to dive into real estate investing.
Why I Created Grab the Map Education
When I say real estate changed my life, I’m not exaggerating. It’s given me financial freedom, opened doors I never thought possible, and connected me with incredible people along the way. But more than that, it taught me the power of making smart, informed decisions—decisions that can change the course of your future.
That’s what Grab the Map Education is all about. It’s not just about buying properties or growing a rental portfolio (though that’s part of it). It’s about helping you understand the why behind every decision. Why is this property a good investment? Why should I consider this financing option? And how can I make sure I’m setting myself up for long-term success?
I’ve seen firsthand how empowering this knowledge can be. And that’s why I decided to create Grab the Map Education—to help others build their own success stories, just like I did.
Building a Community of Real Estate Investors
One of the most fulfilling parts of this journey has been the community we’ve built around Grab the Map. I started off with a few conversations, but now I get emails from people across the country at [email protected], and I love hearing about your businesses and what you’re working on. It’s inspiring to see so many people taking control of their financial futures through real estate.
What’s really exciting for me is finding ways to partner and network with so many of you. We’re not just learning in isolation—we’re building something together. Whether it’s through emails, events, or just hopping on a call, I’ve enjoyed every moment of connecting with people who are as passionate about real estate as I am.
That’s why I made Grab the Map Education more than just a set of lessons. It’s a place where you can learn, but also connect with others who are on the same path. It’s a community that’s here to support you, whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been in the game for years.
The $1 Commitment to Your Success
Now, let’s talk about something I’m really proud of. When I decided to launch Grab the Map Education, I wanted to make it as accessible as possible. I know that investing in education can be a big commitment, especially when you’re just starting out. So, for this initial group of folks, I’m offering the course for just $1.
I’m asking for that $1 not because it’s about the money, but because it’s a sign of commitment—your commitment to improving yourself and being part of this growing community. It’s a small step, but it’s one that says, “I’m ready to take my real estate game to the next level.”
Let’s Build Something Together
I truly believe Grab the Map Education is going to change the way people approach real estate investing. I’ve poured my heart into this because I want to help you make smarter decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and connect with people who can help you succeed.
So, if you haven’t yet, head over to grabthemapllc.com and check out Grab the Map Education. You’ll get access to all the tools, lessons, and connections you need to start or improve your real estate business. I couldn’t be more excited about this, and I’m looking forward to seeing you on the platform.
Remember, don’t just look at it—grab the map!
