The big number is what stops most people.
Anisa: bought an old house to tear down and then built a brand new 8-plex building that she will keep as a rental. When I asked her what she thought of development vs the traditional investing she was doing before she replied, “I love it. This is my jam!”
Bryan: “Your course gave me the inspiration and tools to get started. We locked up our third development site this evening. Thank you”
Eric: “Awesome! Thanks again Darcy for the course and mentorship. Life changing content and your authenticity & passion shines through. You are the real deal! Thanks so much for putting the course together and giving me the tools to make my dream of becoming a developer a reality.”
Alana: “This is too exciting not to share!! Our land assembly to develop a 50 unit apartment building is complete!!! Thank you Darcy!!! Could not have done it without you, so I’m very, very grateful!!”

Most people get stuck on the big number. This course shows you how to shrink it, stage it and fund it, using the same rules I’ve used to raise $50M for $80M in property transactions.
For: investors who have decided to build (a subdivision, a new house, a duplex or a small multifamily) and need to know how to pay for it. That includes landlords building their next rental, FVD or Green Light Blueprint students whose project came back Green, and builders ready to fund their own projects.
Not for: paperwork-only or entitlement deals (that’s the Green Light Blueprint), anyone looking for a “no money down” shortcut, or large institutional projects.
Real Estate Investor, Author and Educator
I’m Darcy Marler. I’ve been investing in real estate since 2001.
I built this course because I watched too many good investors stall on one question: how do I pay for this? These are the rules, and the mistakes, behind every dollar I’ve raised.
Do I need a lot of cash? → You need some. There’s no true “no money down.” This course shows you how to reduce, phase and recycle what you need, and how the seller can be your first source of money.
I’ve never built anything. Is this for me? → Yes, if you’ve decided to build and you’ll use an experienced team. Your job is to manage the deal, the money and the team, not swing a hammer.
Does this cover paperwork-only deals like Entitlement or Upzoning? → No. For those, see the Green Light Blueprint.
Does it apply in the US and Canada? → Yes. Lending and securities rules vary by state, province and country, so check locally. This is education, not legal, tax, lending or securities advice. We have students all over North America.
How long is it? → About 5 hours of video. Go at your own pace, with lifetime access.
What’s next after this? → Build and Market, where you see the actual order of work on site.
Note: All examples on this page and in this course come from my own projects or my students’ projects. They are real, but they are not promises, averages or typical results. Prices, costs, rules and timelines vary by market. This is practitioner education, not legal, tax, lending or financial advice.
