The $1M Real Estate Roadmap

4 lessons52 min

A four-part course on building wealth through mortgage notes — from discovering the opportunity to getting certified and accessing institutional deal flow. Based on 15 years and nearly $1M in real-world experience.

The $1M Roadmap is the sequencing guide for scaling a mortgage note portfolio from first deal to $1M deployed. It maps capital deployment to operational maturity — the right lien-position mix at each stage, pool sizing thresholds, and when to add operational infrastructure (dedicated servicer, attorney network, accountant familiar with note taxation).

The roadmap also covers leverage decisions — when bridge financing makes sense, how partial sales unlock liquidity without giving up upside, and the failure modes that derail most investors between deal 5 and deal 50. Written from Robert Hytha's 14+ years and $777MM in NPL UPB handled.
