Meet Your Instructor: Darcy Marler

I’ve been a full-time real estate investor for almost 25 years — building 50 homes, townhomes, and condos across North America.

Along the way, I’ve done lot severance, upzoning & entitlement plays, raw land deals, and small subdivisions — all without holding rentals or doing heavy renos.

I created this course because I believe small-scale development shouldn’t be reserved for big companies. With the right knowledge, regular investors can earn developer-level profits — without taking on massive risk.

I’ve written four books on real estate investing, but this course is where I teach my best, most actionable material — strategies that work right now, in U.S. markets.

Let’s build something amazing together.

  • Do I need a lot of cash/credit? → Not necessarily —you’ll learn seller-partner structures and creative funding to minimize capital.

  • U.S. only? → Designed for the U.S. market, but the principles will work in any western democracy.

  • How fast can I finish? → Many complete in an afternoon.
