Taught by Someone Who's Actually Done It

Stephen Husted is a licensed California real estate agent, investor, and developer with investments across six states.

He started with his own first out-of-state rental and built from there. Today, he's actively developing ADUs and condo conversion projects in Seattle.

He's experienced the wins, mistakes, bad deals, and lessons that only come from actually doing the work.

Stephen built this program around the frameworks and real-world experience he wishes he'd had before making his first investment.

The Questions Everyone Asks Before They Start

  • A: You don't manage it yourself. A licensed property manager handles the leaky faucet and the 11pm tenant call. Your job shifts from fixing things to managing the manager: reviewing statements, checking invoices against market rates, confirming occupancy matches what you were told at purchase.

  • A: Your salary isn't the input, the deal math is: purchase price, down payment, closing costs, and reserves. A $65,000 first purchase at 20% down needs roughly $15,000 to $20,000 all in, which most tech professionals already have sitting in savings or a single RSU vest.

    • Example for illustration only. Purchase prices, down payments, closing costs, reserve requirements, and overall investment needs vary significantly by market, location, property, and financing.

  • A: LLC eligibility depends on your specific visa category and state, and that's a question for an immigration attorney, not a real estate coach. An LLC by itself doesn't reduce your tax bill either, it mainly provides liability protection. We'll point you to the right professionals for your specific situation.

  • A: Because purchase prices in the Bay Area and Seattle have outrun rents for years, not because you're doing something wrong. If cash flow matters to you, the math points out of your home market, and that's exactly what this program helps you navigate.
