Distressed Title Investing

Master the strategies the top distressed title investors use in all 50 states to find, control, and profit from broken and defective titles — without all the expense, time, and headaches that most curative investors run into.

I Don't Teach Curative Title
Find a List to Call Make Thousands of Calls Negotiate a Price Get It Under Contract Fix the Title Flip It

That's really just another wholesale model.

I teach Distressed Title Investing.

How can the defect itself be used to locate, acquire, control, or monetize the opportunity?

Cured Partially Cured Delayed Acquired Settled Leveraged Monetized Left in Place
Built From Every Side of the Table

Most people teaching curative title have only seen this from the investor's side. This program was built from:

32 Yearsof Creative Real Estate Investing
15+ Yearsof Straight Curative Title Investing
12 Yearsas a Professionally Licensed Title Examiner
A Law School Education
Legal Recognition as a Court Expert on Title Fraud and Examinations
30 Yearsof Experience in Financial Fraud Investigations
Daily Meetings With Underwriters at All Three Dozen Title Underwriting Companies in the U.S. — and Understanding Exactly What They Want
1,700+Personal Acquisitions
9,000+Curative Files Completed
50States Worked
Retained and Trusted by National Banks & Mortgage Companies
One Defect. Multiple Paths.

Traditional curative title depends on one result: fix everything so it can close conventionally.

Full Ownership Partial Ownership Heir Interests Lien & Judgment Positions Owner Financing Partition Assignments Settlements Restrictive Easements Strategic Holds Charitable Transfers

Most bad investors see a house and a problem that needs to be fixed, if they can. This program teaches you to control the asset through the defect.

How the Mentorship Works

A live, personally-led 12-week program — not a course taught by junior employees.

This is a working mentorship directly with me, not a program handed off to junior staff that were in middle school during major market downturns. You will learn directly from me through live instruction every week, real-world cases, and have access to experienced guidance throughout the program.

01

Personally Led, Every Time

I teach this program live, every week, for all 12 weeks. Guest experts join periodically to go deep on specialized topics — but I am always personally present and available to you online throughout the mentorship.

02

Homework Before Class

Each week opens with required homework videos you complete before we meet. You arrive to live class already equipped with the foundation — ready to work the material, not see it for the first time.

03

Two Live Classes Per Week

We meet twice weekly for live instruction, case work, and direct Q&A — real-time engagement on real files, not a single recorded lecture you consume passively.

04

A Small, Serious Cohort

Each cohort is capped between 15 and 25 students. Small enough that I know your file, your questions, and your progress — not a mass-market webinar funnel.

Admission by Application Only

This mentorship is not open enrollment.

Every applicant is personally reviewed. This keeps the cohort small, serious, and worth the time we spend together — for you and for everyone else in the room.

This Is For You If

  • You're ready to treat this as a business, not a hobby.
  • You can commit real time weekly — homework and two live classes.
  • You want direct access to an operator, not a pre-recorded funnel.
  • You're prepared to invest seriously in building a real skill set.

This Is Not For You If

  • You're looking for a passive, watch-when-you-feel-like-it course.
  • You want a guaranteed return with no personal effort.
  • You can't commit to the weekly live schedule for 12 weeks.
  • You're not able to make a serious financial commitment right now.
