Hi, I'm Chad Carson

Learning to Buy Good Deals Was My First (& Best!) Investing Decision

In 2003 right after college, I began investing in real estate full-time. I had a LOT to learn, but I spent most of my time the first years learning to find, finance, and buy good real estate investing deals.

By 2007, I had learned enough to purchase 33 deals in one year.

Back in the beginning, I didn't yet know how to remodel, rent, or sell real estate. But because I learned the valuable skill of buying good deals, I was able to make money and grow upon a solid investing foundation.

Since we started, a business partner and I have purchased well over 100 real estate deals, including flips and rentals. And today we've used this real estate income and wealth to achieve financial independence.

I created this course to share what I've learned through 18 years in the school of hard knocks.

Learn How to Find Good Investments,
Get the Money You Need, & Close the Deal


By the end of Real Estate Start School, you will:

  • Develop a customized real estate plan for YOU: Like picking from a menu, this course will help you choose the unique real estate plan that will move you towards your financial goals.
  • Pick the right market for investing (local or long distance): You'll receive detailed instructions and a checklist so that you can make sure you have a profitable investing market, either locally or long distance.
  • Run the numbers to know you have a good deal: Real estate investing is a numbers game. So, you'll learn the most important formulas to confidently evaluate your next property purchase. Plus you'll receive the same deal analysis spreadsheet Chad uses on his deals.
  • Get the money to fund your deals: You'll learn the best sources of financing, both traditional and non-traditional (like seller financing and private money). And you'll get ideas to raise money for down payments and other cash needs.
  • Build a dream team to help you succeed: The right team will make or break your efforts, so you'll learn the most important team members, like real estate agents, CPAs, contractors, etc. You'll also learn how to choose the right ones.
  • Find good deals: Nothing else works in real estate investing if you can't find a good deal. You'll learn how Chad has consistently bought good deals year-in, year-out for 18 years - including 17 proven strategies in the grad course - Real Estate Deal Finder.

Below are testimonials about Real Estate Start School and Chad's ability to help investors get started with real estate investing.

"Joining Real Estate Start School is one of the best decisions. Coach Carson made the classes simple and doable; so I was able to complete a chapter a week. Action items and goals were individually tailored.

Coach Carson is knowledgeable, a great listener and passionate about helping each student to be successful. Hands down, whether new at real estate or you want to step up your business, you'll want in on his coaching.

After my first year, I flipped one house, added a rental to my portfolio and closed a wholesale deal.

"This is a no-brainer just to buy the course ... because I don’t think I would’ve gotten started and done the action items without getting involved in Real Estate Start School. I would’ve just still been reading and wondering."

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course. You decide when you start and when you finish each week. But each fall and spring enrollment you can participate in 10-11 weeks of regular group calls, accountability groups, and other events designed to help you make progress faster.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own. And you get to join any group coaching calls offered to students anytime in the future.
Will I get access to the full course all at once?
Yes, everything is available immediately.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
What are the Group Coaching & Office Hours calls like? When are they?
I use an online meeting software called Zoom.us which lets you see and hear me (Coach) via video. And then you can participate by listening, chatting, and talking over your computer or phone. All calls are recorded for later listening. For now the calls are every Thursday at 8pm EST. The call usually starts with a topic for 10-15 minutes, and the rest of the time (up to 1.5 or 2 hours) is 100% your questions and discussions.
Do I need a lot of cash to get started in real estate investing?
It depends. But your start will certainly be easier if you've saved up cash for down payments and other upfront expenses. With that said, Chad began real estate investing with $1,000. This course will teach you strategies if you have a lot of funds or if you don't.
Will this real estate information work in high-priced markets? What about outside of the U.S.?
High-priced markets have their challenges and benefits. A key lesson in the course will address evaluating whether your market is good for investing or whether you should invest out of town. The general investing and business principles will work in any location. But real estate laws are very local, so you'll certainly need to have local expert advice before moving forward.
Why are you teaching and selling a course if you already achieved financial independence with real estate investing? What's your motivation?
Important question! And the answer has a couple of parts. I do everything at Coach Carson - from the blog, to podcast, to videos, to a paid course - because I LOVE teaching. I also love real estate investing and I'm good at it, but I feel called to be a teacher. It's my vocation and a deep passion. I charge for the course because it requires more of my time than simply writing articles, recording podcasts, or recording videos. And I also want to use the revenue to make Coach Carson a sustainable business - like paying for people to help me do things so that I can focus on teaching. The emails, admin, editing, and website stuff alone have become a big commitment! Plus ... starting in 2019, I committed to contributing 50% of all profits from Coach Carson, LLC to charity. As this education business grows and becomes more successful financially, I'd like it to also be an engine to make a difference socially (Charitable Mission: https://www.coachcarson.com/charitable-mission/). So, in addition to getting an education and buying properties that make a profit for yourself, you're helping me to change the world for the better!
What do I do if I need help?

"To sum up Chad in 4 words- Character, Knowledge, Accomplished, and Intelligent."

"I have known Chad Carson as a fellow Investor and in my capacity as Director of Education for the Metrolina Real Estate Investor's Association in Charlottte, NC since 2008.

I cannot fail to stand in awe of Chad's accomplishments and consistency as a real estate investor. Our organization has had him in to teach on various subjects, and he has invariably covered the subject thoroughly, entertainingly, and at a level incredibly appropriate to the subject audience.

As a coach and mentor, that is where Chad really shines- he can take an Investor making $75K per year and help him get his business to the next level of well over $6 figures, but can just as easily adapt his level of instruction to help a brand new Investor do his or her very first deal without overawing, overloading, or burdening them with information that is at that level superfluous. You will find this quality well-nigh nonexistent among those who coach other investors. To sum up Chad in 4 words- Character, Knowledge, Accomplished, and Intelligent.

"This is a no-brainer just to buy the course ... because I don’t think I would’ve gotten started and done the action items without getting involved in Real Estate Start School. I would’ve just still been reading and wondering."

"I was like 'ok, yeah - this is a no brainer just to buy the course.' I really like the way Chad teaches, really down to earth. He makes real estate investing really approachable and possible. Because I don’t think I would’ve gotten started and done the action items without getting involved in Real Estate Start School. I would’ve just still been reading and wondering.

First, from like a psychological perspective, I liked how right from the start Chad was like ‘don’t worry about being perfect, just pick a number, pick a day, and just do it. That really set the tone for the entire course. A lot of what’s stopping me - and I’m sure a lot of people - is the need to be perfect. It cripples you and paralyzes you.

And then I really liked figuring out my why - I want to have income flowing while I’m traveling and just enjoying myself. It’s my big why.

And I also liked picking my financial independence goal … Chad said to just pick a number, it could change. That gave me a huge sigh of relief. I thought I had to be perfect and figure it out with a ton of unnecessary math. So, I just picked a number - $60,000/year - and most of it would be passive income.

And just looking at properties and evaluating them and seeing if they were a deal was huge for me. I don’t think I would’ve done that myself. I liked the simple math - the cash on cash return, net income after financing. It’s cool … when I first started doing it, it took me forever because I wanted to be good at it and I wanted to be right. But at this point not even 2 weeks after doing it a little bit every day, I’m really fast at it. It’s just gotten a lot faster and a little more intuitive. So, that’s cool. It’s really rewarding to see that.

If you’re like me and you were just wondering about real estate investing and if there was a perfect time, there is no perfect time, really. Just do it now.

The way Chad coaches you, he takes you step-by-step. You have an action item after each lesson. And that’s why I’ve been taking it really slowly - I really want to take the time to do the action item, because every time I do it I feel like I’m taking a huge leap forward and building a foundation that’s going to be great for years to come.
