◈ The only school in America that teaches this

Learn to buy, build
and sell your own
community.

Everyone else teaches you to buy land. Nobody teaches the rest of it — splitting the parcel, selling the lots, funding the build, and filling it with people. This is all of it, written down.

◈ What's inside

Three volumes. One method.

Not videos you half-watch. Written instruction with worksheets and assignments you complete against one real property — the parcel you own, or the one you're about to buy.

  • Property law and rights — including the mineral, water and air rights most buyers never check

Marketing, Sales & Capital

In the full program

The part nobody else teaches — and the part that decides whether the project happens.

  • Market readiness and positioning — the six things a project needs before you promote it

  • Funding and investors — funding source comparison, the capital stack, the pitch and the data room
  • The 90-Day Plan — plus five appendices: a discovery call script, a follow-up sequence, a launch checklist, a funding conversation checklist, and a weekly meeting agenda

◈ Not my land — theirs

People learned this and went and did it.

The only proof that matters for a method is whether it works in somebody else's hands. Three times over, it has.

◈ Marquis · founder

Bonito Valley

Came with a vision and no land. Used the model, our site designer and our team — and founded his own 36-acre community with 20 people on it.

Vision → community
◈ Fifteen, together

Common Ground Holdings

Fifteen people who didn't know each other formed an LLC and took the deed to a 3.05-acre parcel at the Navajo County auction.

Strangers → co-owners
◈ One founder, alone

Bought at auction. Then funded.

Learned the process, went to a commercial auction, bought a parcel of his own — and is now receiving a $100,000 grant to develop it.

Learned → bought → funded
◈ Pick one, or take both

Two workshops. One price each.

Every workshop includes its volume, its orientation course, and all four tools. One payment, lifetime access, and everything added later. Enrollment isn't open yet — put your name on the list for the one you want and you'll get the doors-open note first, at the price shown.

Would rather have it built than build it? That's Common Ground — from $5,000, and whatever you spend here comes off the fee.

◈ Straight answers

What people ask.

When does it start?

Enrollment isn't open yet — join the waitlist for the workshop you want and you'll be told the day it is, before it's announced anywhere else. After that there's no cohort, no start date and no seat count: you buy, it opens immediately, and everything is self-paced.

What does joining the waitlist commit me to?

Nothing. No card, no deposit, no obligation to buy. It's a name and an email so we know who to tell — and the price shown on the card is the price you'll be offered. Leave the list any time.

Do I need to own land already?

No. Workshop One is written for people who don't. Workshop Two is more useful once you have a parcel, but plenty take it first to know what they're buying toward.

Which should I start with?

No land yet — start with One. Already own ground — start with Two. Serious about both — the pair is $249 and you'll use them in that order anyway.

Is it videos or reading?

Mostly written. The three volumes are instruction, worksheets and assignments; each has a visual orientation course that walks you through it in about forty minutes. Recorded sessions are added as they're cleared.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. One payment, lifetime access, including anything added later.

Who teaches it?

Written from six years of building the real thing — The Hereafter's 460 acres in Georgia, the Ozarks, New Mexico, and Red Earth, Holbrook and 40 Acres & a Well in Arizona. See the projects →

What if I'd rather have it built?

Then look at Common Ground — ten deliverables, six months, one flat fee from $5,000. We find the land or build on yours.

Is any of this legal or financial advice?

No. Not one page of it. Land law, securities questions and lending rules are state-specific and they change. Get an attorney in your state before you sign anything — on every project we run, one sits at the table.
