The Process Joséphine Used to Go From $30K Flips
to Over $50M in Real Estate Development
Learn the exact step-by-step system Joséphine now teaches
flippers, realtors, and W-2 professionals to build their first ground-up development deal — with the exact process, team, and funding strategies to get it done.
Not another course. She's still building. That's who teaches you.
As Seen In
You Know Flipping Has a Ceiling. You Just Don't Know What Comes Next.
You've put in the work. You've done the deals. But you already know where this road ends:
Grinding away on fix-and-flips for $30K per deal (and dealing with contractors who cause problems and then ghost you)
Researching development for months — watching YouTube, reading books, joining groups — but still no first deal
Seeing other people break into development and wondering: "What do they know that I don't?"
Watching YouTube videos for months, taking notes, still no first step
You've done the flips. You've watched the videos. You've even run the numbers on a few development deals. But without a process — and without someone who's actually done it walking you through it — you stay stuck.
And that sucks.
And that sucks.
It's Not a Secret. It's a Process Most Flippers Never Learn.

"I've been flipping for over 18 years. I'm at the point now where I want to do something else, because the flipping thing is getting kind of boring to me."

This Is What Happens When You Stop Flipping…
and Start Developing.
The Wealth Cheat Code Is…
Real Estate Development.
You already know how to find deals, manage contractors, and close. Development takes those same skills and puts them to work at a completely different scale.. where one project can outperform years of flipping.
Build from the ground up — new construction commands higher prices, attracts premium buyers, and creates equity the day you finish. No more competing for beat-up inventory.
Control the entire deal — from raw land to finished product, you decide what gets built, when it sells, and what you keep. That's what a developer does.
Earn more per project than a year of flipping — one development deal can generate what used to take you 5–10 flips. Less hustle, bigger outcome.
Build something that lasts — a development business you own, projects with your name on them, and a track record your kids can point to.
"I'm wanting to take it to a place where I'm the developer. I'm the guy who's finding the deal, going out and getting the money, and then taking it from start to finish."
- Chris W.
Went from wholesaling to completing
a 5-unit development + a $700K zoning deal
You have the experience. You have the drive.
What you need is the process — and someone who's already done it, walking you through every step.
Don’t Take My Word for It. Take Theirs.
Here’s what happened when they made the switch.
I’m Joséphine. I started where you are — flipping houses, grinding for $30K per deal, wondering if there was a bigger play. There was. I made the jump into ground-up development, and I never looked back.
I moved to the U.S. with no credit, no network, and no safety net. I earned my green card by building new construction, literally building my way into this country. After leaving a partnership that wasn’t working, I built over $50M in development on my own within just a few years.
I’ve gone from single-lot flips to master-planned communities, and I’m still building right now.
I know what it feels like to hit the ceiling — doing solid deals but knowing there’s a bigger level you can’t quite reach on your own.
I teach flippers, realtors, and W-2 professionals the exact process I used — step by step — so they can build their first development deal with a mentor who’s still in the field.
If I built this starting from another country with nothing —
imagine what you can do with the experience you already have.
I've put everything I use — every strategy, every resource, every lesson from $50M+ in development — into a 6-month program designed to guide you through your first
(or next) development project, step by step.
Introducing:
The Developer Academy
Coaching Program
Inside this 6-month coaching and mentorship program, you'll learn how to plan, finance, and build your first real estate development project — whether that's single-family, multifamily, or specialty construction. The same process. The same tools. The same resources I use on my own deals right now.
"I want to do something I can enjoy even if I get older. Building generational wealth — I think of my son."

Speakers
Looking for information or how-to’s on a specific topic? We bring other experts on different areas of development like affordable housing, self-storage units, micro-housing and more so you always have someone to look to for what you need.
You have the experience. You have the drive.
What you need is the process — and someone who's
already done it walking you through every step.
No more guessing whether development is "for people like you."
No more watching from the sidelines while others
build what you know you're capable of.
You already have the skills. Now get the roadmap.
Who This Is For
Flippers, realtors, and W-2 professionals who know there's a bigger play — and are ready to learn the process to get there.
People who've done real deals but hit a ceiling and want a clear path into ground-up development.
Action-takers who want a mentor and a step-by-step system — not just another course to watch.
Who This Is NOT For
Anyone looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. Development is real work. The returns are bigger because the skill is harder.
People who want to watch videos but never take action. This program works when you do.
Anyone not willing to show up to calls, ask questions, and put in the reps. This is coaching, not a download.
Why Real Estate Development (And Why Now)?
Why Real Estate Development
(And Why Now)?
Massive Demand: In many regions, there’s a dire need for new construction—housing inventory is low, and renters/buyers are looking for high-quality homes.
Instant Value Creation: When you develop, you're not renovating — you're creating something new from the ground up. That's where the real equity is built.
Controlled Appreciation: You control the design, features, and finishes, which can directly impact the final value of your project.
Build Multiple Units at Once: A single development project can deliver multiple homes or units — something that would take years of flipping to match.
"I had three no's, and then I got this guy. He said yes to the project."
- Tina Y.
Stuck in the research loop, went from zero
to financing secured in 4 months
Once you learn the development process, you can use it again and again — new markets, new project types, bigger deals.
The skill compounds.
Every month you spend researching is a month someone else is breaking ground on the deal you should be building.
The process exists. The mentor is here. The only question is how long you're willing to wait.

"Used the Academy's framework to exit a deal that didn't pencil — lost only ~$5K in earnest money instead of $60K–$100K."

Your Next Deal Could Change Everything!
You have the experience. You have the work ethic.
What's missing is the process — and a mentor who's
already built what you're trying to build.
That's exactly what this program gives you.
From flipper to developer. One conversation to start.
Still have questions? Here are the most common ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have no prior experience in real estate development?
That's exactly who this is built for. Most of my members came in as flippers, realtors, or W-2 professionals with zero development experience. The program starts with the fundamentals — how to find land, read zoning, run numbers — and walks you through every step from there. You don't need to know development yet. That's what I'm here to teach you.
How much money do I need to start my first development deal?
Less than you think. Module 4 covers exactly how to find capital partners, use OPM (other people's money), and structure deals so you're not funding everything yourself. Most of my members didn't start with development capital — they started with a process and built from there.
What is the estimated time needed to complete the program?
It's a 6-month program. You'll have weekly coaching calls and full access to the materials throughout. Most members start taking real action — identifying land, running numbers, talking to builders — within the first few weeks. This isn't a "watch and wait" program. You work through it in real time, on a real deal.
Is this a course I watch online, or something more?
It's not a course you watch and forget. It's a 6-month coaching program with weekly live calls, unlimited Q&A, a private community, and direct access to me. You're working through the material in real time — ideally on a real deal. Think of it as having a development mentor in your corner for 6 months.
What if I already have a deal or property in mind?
Even better. Bring it to the first coaching call. A lot of members join with a deal they're already looking at — a piece of land, a lot they've been watching, a property they want to develop. The program is designed so you can apply everything you learn to a real project as you go. That's how it works best.
Will I receive support throughout the program?
Yes — that's the whole point. You get weekly group coaching calls, unlimited Q&A (submit questions anytime, not just on calls), and direct access to me and the community. If you're stuck on a deal, need feedback on your numbers, or just want to talk through a decision — you're never figuring it out alone.
What if I’m dissatisfied with the program?
I vet every member before they join because I want to make sure this is the right fit — for both of us. If you show up, do the work, and feel like you're not getting what you expected, reach out to me directly. Nevertheless, if you find yourself struggling, as long as you've completed 100% of the core curriculum, we will offer weekly 1-1 calls to help you get on track.
I vet every member personally to make sure it's the right fit. That's why I only take on a handful of new people each month.
