Invaluable Mentorship

2025 Graduate

“The most valuable aspects of the program were the access to real industry professionals and the depth of practical insight provided. Charles, the lead instructor, was outstanding—his knowledge, passion, and real-world experience brought the material to life. The inclusion of seasoned developers and active lenders on live calls was incredibly impactful. Their breakdowns of proformas, deal structuring, partnerships, and lender expectations gave me priceless clarity and confidence. The mentorship provided throughout was invaluable.”
