“I Don’t Chase Deals — I Build $1M Moves With Certainty”

How I apply the 8 rules to real deals, with DSCR, yield, and clean math


I don’t look at real estate the way most people do.

I don’t care about the story.
I don’t care about the photos.
I don’t care what the broker says.

I care about one thing:

👉 Does this deal protect me first… and pay me second?

Everything I do runs through a simple framework:

  • Barriers to entry

  • Replacement cost

  • Day 1 cash flow

  • Million-dollar math

  • Debt safety

  • Scale

  • Exit

Now I’m going to show you how I actually run this in real life.


🧠 Deal Example — 100 Unit Multifamily

Step 1 — Base Numbers (Clean + Simple)

  • Units = 100

  • Rent = $1,200/month

  • Occupancy = 90%

Income:

100 × 1,200 × 0.90 × 12
= $1,296,000

Expenses (50% rule):

= $648,000

NOI:

= $648,000


💰 Value (Cap Rate Method)

Cap rate = 6%

$648,000 ÷ 0.06
= $10,800,000 value


🏦 Debt (Safe Structure)

Loan = 65% of value
= $7,020,000

Interest = 6.5%

Annual Debt ≈ $456,000


📊 DSCR (THIS decides if deal lives or dies)

DSCR = \frac{648,000}{456,000}

👉 DSCR = 1.42

✔️ Above 1.25 → SAFE
❌ Below 1.0 → DEAD


Cash Flow (Day 1 Test)

NOI = $648,000
Debt = $456,000

👉 Cash Flow = $192,000/year

✔️ This passes Rule #3 (Day 1 cash flow)


🎯 Yield (What I actually earn)

Let’s say total cash into deal = $3,780,000

Yield = \frac{192,000}{3,780,000}

👉 Yield ≈ 5.1%

That’s just Day 1…

👉 I don’t buy for 5%
👉 I buy for what I can TURN it into


🚀 Million-Dollar Math (This is where I win)

Let’s raise rents:

  • Increase = $200/month

100 × 200 × 12
= $240,000 new income

New NOI:
648,000 + 240,000
= $888,000


New Value:

$888,000 ÷ 0.06
= $14,800,000


💥 Value Created:

14.8M − 10.8M
= $4,000,000 gain

👉 That’s the whole game


🏙️ Use Case 1 — High Barrier Market

Example: San Diego

  • Hard to build

  • Limited land

  • Strong rents

👉 Lower risk
👉 Higher price
👉 Slower growth

✔️ I buy for stability + long-term appreciation


🌆 Use Case 2 — High Supply Market

Example: Austin

  • Tons of new construction

  • Rent pressure

  • Deals look “cheap”

👉 Higher risk
👉 Better entry price

✔️ I only buy if:

  • Cash flow strong Day 1

  • Big upside baked in


🏖️ Use Case 3 — Premium Market Play

Example: Boca Raton

  • High replacement cost

  • Wealthy tenants

  • Limited new supply

👉 I may “overpay” on paper
BUT…

If build cost is higher than my purchase:
👉 I’m already winning


🏚️ Use Case 4 — Distressed Deal (My favorite)

Scenario:

  • NOI dropped

  • Owner losing money

Example:

Income = $1,000,000
Expenses = $600,000
NOI = $400,000

Debt = $500,000

👉 Owner losing $100K/year


What I do:

  • Buy at discount

  • Fix rents

  • stabilize

👉 That’s where the biggest money is made


⚖️ Debt Stress Test (What most people ignore)

If rates jump:

Debt goes from $456K → $600K

New DSCR:

600,000 ÷ 648,000 = 1.08

⚠️ Now I’m close to danger

👉 That’s why:

  • I don’t overleverage

  • I fix my debt


📈 Scaling Example (This is billionaire math)

Let’s say I own 1,000 units:

Rent increase = $25

1,000 × 25 × 12
= $300,000

At 6% cap:

300,000 ÷ 0.06
= $5,000,000 created

👉 Small moves → massive value


🧭 My Real Decision Framework

Before I buy anything:

  • Does it cash flow Day 1?

  • Is DSCR above 1.25?

  • Can I create $1M+ upside?

  • Is debt safe long-term?

  • Is supply controlled?

  • Is location strong?

If I can’t check these boxes…

👉 I walk away


🔚 Final Thought

I don’t need perfect deals.
I need predictable math.

  • Cash flow protects me

  • DSCR keeps me alive

  • Yield pays me

  • Rent growth makes me rich

👉 That’s how I go from one deal…
to millions…
to real portfolio scale
