How the membership works

A steady rhythm, two weeks at a time

There’s a live call every week. Every other week a new module opens. Once a month a call becomes a Deal Teardown, and guest pros rotate in. Plan on about 2–3 hours a week, call included.

WhenWhat happensYour part
Week ANew module opens + weekly live callThe call opens with a short lesson from the new module, then live deal reviews and hot seats.Watch the lessons, run the module’s calculator on a listing in your area.
Week BWeekly live callDeal reviews, hot seats and Q&A on the current module. Deals in the review queue go first.Post your work in the community; submit a deal for review.
Once a monthLive Deal TeardownOne weekly call takes apart a real Atlanta listing, line by line: comps, scope, financing, holding costs and exit.Run the same listing yourself first, then compare.
RotatingAsk-the-pros guestA lender, inspector, insurance agent, closing attorney or general contractor joins a weekly call for the lesson and Q&A.Bring your questions for that pro.
Between callsCommunity & accountabilityThe private Skool community, your accountability partner, and the Atlanta vendor & resource list.Check in with your partner; ask questions any time.

Calls are 75–90 minutes on Zoom and every one is recorded. Exact days and times are shared with members; the order of guest sessions and teardowns may shift with guests’ schedules.

    Hot seats: we run members’ real listings through the calculators, on screen, together. Queued deals go first.

  3. Practice on your own

    Apply the module’s tool to a property in your target area and post your work.

  4. Bring questions back

    Use the community and your accountability partner during the week; bring sticking points to the next call.

The core curriculum

Calculated Cash Flips, module by module

Eight modules, four short lessons each. A new module drops every two weeks, so the full core rolls out over about 16 weeks. Everything already released is in the library when you join, so you can start at Module 1 whenever you come in.

Module 1 · weeks 1–2

Should you flip at all?

Before the deal math, the personal math. This module is about whether flipping fits your money, your schedule and your tolerance for things going sideways.

  1. Your money, honestlyWhat you can afford to lose, how much to keep in reserve, and why “all in” is a warning sign.
  2. Risk, time and real lifeWhat a project that runs three months long does to your cash, your job and your weekends.
  3. Flipping vs. the alternativesRentals, partnerships, or waiting a year. When a flip isn’t the right tool for your goal.
  4. Your personal go/no-go rulesWrite your own buying criteria before you ever see a listing, so excitement doesn’t write them for you.

Module 2 · weeks 3–4

Deal math

The numbers that decide whether a house is a deal. You’ll build a maximum offer from the ground up and learn where beginners fool themselves.

  1. ARV without wishful thinkingWhat after-repair value really means, and why the best comp in the neighborhood isn’t your comp.
  2. Pulling and adjusting compsChoosing comparable sales, adjusting for size, condition and location, and spotting a bad comp.
  3. The 70% rule, and its limitsA useful screen that breaks down at different price points and in soft markets.
  4. A maximum offer you can defendThe full cost stack: purchase, rehab, financing, holding, selling and contingency, line by line.

Module 3 · weeks 5–6

Finding deals without overpaying

Where beginner-sized opportunities actually come from, and how to make offers that protect you if the house has surprises.

  1. Where deals come fromListed properties, off-market sources, auctions and wholesalers: the trade-offs of each for a beginner.
  2. Reading a listing for red flagsWhat photos, descriptions and days on market can tell you before you drive over.
  3. Offers that protect youDue diligence periods, inspections and contract terms that give you room to walk away.
  4. Working with agents and sellersHow to be a buyer people want to work with, without overpaying to prove it.

Module 4 · weeks 7–8

Financing & holding costs

How you pay for a flip changes whether it works. This module puts real numbers on money and time.

  1. Cash, hard money, private moneyHow each works, what it costs, and the strings that come with it.
  2. What a loan really costsPoints, interest, draw fees and extension fees, and how they compound on a thin margin.
  3. Holding costs, month by monthTaxes, vacant-property insurance, utilities, HOA dues, lawn care and security.
  4. Stress-testing the timelineRun your deal at 4, 6 and 9 months and see which version you can live with.

Module 5 · weeks 9–10

Scoping the rehab

The heart of the program. Most flips are lost here, so this module takes its time teaching you to see a house the way a builder does.

  1. How to walk a houseRoof to sewer line: the order to look, what to photograph, and what needs a specialist.
  2. Writing a scope of workTurning a walk-through into a written scope a contractor can price and you can hold them to.
  3. Line-item budgets and rehab levelsBudgeting by line item, and matching finish level to the neighborhood instead of your taste.
  4. Contingency you won’t regretHow much to hold back, where it usually goes, and what to do when it runs out.

Module 6 · weeks 11–12

Contractors, permits & draws

Hiring and paying people well is a skill. This module covers how to keep control of the job and your money.

  1. Finding and vetting contractorsLicenses, insurance, references and the questions that separate pros from problems.
  2. What belongs in the contractScope, schedule, payment terms, change-order process and clean-up, in writing.
  3. Permits and inspectionsWhen you need a permit, what inspectors look for, and how unpermitted past work can stall a sale.
  4. Draw schedules and lien waiversPaying for completed work, not promises, and protecting the property from liens.

Module 7 · weeks 13–14

Running the project

Keeping a 90-day project from becoming a 9-month one. The weekly habits that hold a rehab together.

  1. Sequencing the tradesThe order work should happen in, and the expensive mistakes that come from getting it wrong.
  2. Site visits and weekly check-insWhat to look for on site, what to ask for in writing, and how to track progress.
  3. Change orders and scope creepHandling surprises behind the walls without letting the budget drift.
  4. When the project slipsRecovery decisions: when to push, when to re-scope, and when to change the plan.

Module 8 · weeks 15–16

Selling, the exit & walking away

How the project ends matters as much as how it starts. Plan the exit before you buy.

  1. Pricing and preparing to sellPricing against the market you’re in, not the one you bought in, and what buyers notice first.
  2. Selling costs and net proceedsCommissions, closing costs, concessions and repairs after inspection, all on paper before you list.
  3. Backup exitsRenting, refinancing or selling as-is: what each looks like if the market turns.
  4. Decision rules for walking awayWhen to pass on a deal, and when to cut a loss instead of waiting for it to grow.

What’s next after the core

The calls keep going, and so does the material

Once the eight core modules are out, the weekly calls, deal reviews and teardowns continue, and new material is planned on a similar schedule.

Planned

More case studies

Additional real projects taken apart the same way as the first three, including what went wrong.

Planned

Advanced topics

Planned topics include small multifamily and BRRRR basics, for members ready to look past a single flip.

Planned

Market updates

Periodic looks at what’s changing in Metro Atlanta prices, days on market and rehab costs.

Planned, not promised: topics after the core will follow what members are working on and may change.

Ask-the-pros sessions

Hear it from the people at the table

A flip runs through a lot of hands. Working professionals rotate into the weekly calls to explain how their piece of the deal works and to take your questions.

Guests are independent professionals. The lineup varies, and you’re never expected to hire or work with any of them. The Atlanta vendor & resource list in the community covers types of pros to look for, not endorsements.

  • LenderHow investor loans are underwritten, what it really costs to borrow, and the questions to ask before you sign.
  • Home inspectorWhat an inspection can and can’t tell you, and the issues that most often surprise flippers.
  • Insurance agentVacant-property and builder’s risk coverage, liability, and what happens when something goes wrong mid-project.
  • Closing attorneyHow Georgia closings work, title issues, and the contract terms that matter on both ends of a flip.
  • General contractorHow contractors price jobs, what makes a good scope, and how to be a client crews want to work for.
