While most first deals take 6–12 months, Michael explains how you can dramatically accelerate your learning curve by running a “Live Sample Deal” —a simulated real-world acquisition that walks you through the entire process in just seven days. By analyzing a real property, speaking with brokers, building your team, and even negotiating an offer, you gain the experience and confidence needed to pursue actual deals. This practical exercise helps eliminate fear, expand your comfort zone, and move you significantly closer to closing your first multifamily investment. Key Takeaways The first deal changes everything — once you close a deal, brokers, investors, and opportunities start coming to you. Most first deals take 6–12 months , but you can accelerate your learning through a simulated “Live Sample Deal.” Confidence comes from action , not just education—walking through the full deal process builds real-world experience. Simulating a deal removes fear , especially the fear of making offers or raising capital. Running a sample deal can get you roughly 80% of the experience of doing a real transaction. Expanding your comfort zone is key —what once felt impossible (like a 50-unit deal) quickly becomes achievable after practicing the process.
