“From Nothing to a Multi-Million Dollar Portfolio – My Proven Real Estate Strategies for Success!”

CEO / Founder

Murilo Peres

Murilo Peres embarked on his real estate investing journey in late 2007 while balancing a full-time job. For two years, he dedicated himself to grueling 14-hour workdays, determined to build a future beyond the confines of traditional employment. In the spring of 2010, after years of relentless effort, he took a leap of faith, leaving his job to pursue real estate full-time—a decision that not only reshaped his financial trajectory but also profoundly enhanced his overall well-being.
Murilo began by acquiring out-of-state rental properties using innovative no-money-down strategies, laying the foundation for what would become an extraordinary career. Since then, he has successfully executed over 300 real estate transactions, spanning marketing, wholesaling, renovations, fix-and-flips, new construction, and long-term rentals. His strategic approach and adaptability have enabled him to navigate various sectors of the industry with remarkable success. Over the years, he has bought and sold more than $100 million in real estate, amassing a multimillion-dollar rental portfolio that secured his financial independence by the age of 45.
One of Murilo’s key areas of expertise is tax deed investing—a lesser-known yet highly lucrative strategy. Since 2018, he has acquired over 100 tax deed properties at significant discounts, leveraging this method to build a high-equity, high-cash-flow rental portfolio. His deep understanding of this niche investment strategy has allowed him to generate substantial returns while continuously expanding his knowledge and expertise.

My expertise

Here are some of the topics that display my areas of expertise.

1. Defining Your Real Estate Goals and Capabilities

Analyzing your unique financial situation and crafting a strategic roadmap tailored to your goals, needs, and resources. With countless investment paths available in real estate, establishing a clear direction from the start is crucial for long-term success.

2. Strategic Business Structuring

Establishing the optimal business framework to either launch or elevate real estate investment ventures, ensuring scalability, legal protection, and financial efficiency.

3. Maximizing Financial Leverage

Enhancing credit scores and leveraging various financing avenues, including private lenders, hard money lenders, DSCR lenders, and traditional banks, to optimize capital access and investment growth.

4. Out-of-State Investing for Maximum Returns

Mastering the intricacies of investing in high-yield out-of-state markets by identifying the most lucrative areas, assembling a reliable team remotely, and optimizing profits and cash flow regardless of location.

5. Market Analysis and Profit Maximization

Developing an in-depth understanding of local and national real estate markets is essential for identifying high-profit opportunities and ensuring long-term cash flow sustainability. I will teach you where and how to find and source the best deals using a variety of proven strategies, helping you stay ahead of market trends and capitalize on lucrative investment opportunities.

6. Mastering Tax Deed Auctions and Investments

Tax deed investing is a little-known yet time-tested strategy that has existed for over a century. Since 2018, I have leveraged this powerful investment method to purchase over 100 properties for pennies on the dollar, building a high-performing rental portfolio of almost 50 properties with annual returns exceeding 24%. This strategy has generated millions in equity, sale profits, and monthly cash flow. With tax deeds available in hundreds of counties across the U.S., mastering this investment approach has taken my real estate success to an entirely new level.

7. Construction and Renovation Cost Mastery

Gaining comprehensive knowledge of construction and renovation expenses—an essential skill, as miscalculations can jeopardize an entire investment. Mastery of both numbers and location is crucial for sustained success.

8. Property Analysis and Cost Estimation

Accurately evaluating potential investments, projecting renovation expenses, and structuring deals that align with both short-term profitability and long-term wealth-building strategies.

9. Efficient Renovation Management

Implementing structured renovation processes to streamline timelines and maximize efficiency. Time is money in real estate, and without proper execution, investors risk significant financial setbacks.

10. Distinguishing Fix-and-Flips from Rental Properties

Understanding the critical differences between retail fix-and-flips and long-term rental properties—since not every property is suitable for either strategy—and applying the appropriate investment approach accordingly.

11. Navigating Unexpected Challenges

Drawing from extensive field experience to anticipate, manage, and overcome the inevitable surprises that arise in real estate investing, from financial obstacles to construction setbacks.

12. Negotiating Vendor Discounts

Leveraging relationships with key suppliers and vendors to secure substantial discounts on materials and labor, significantly reducing renovation and construction costs.

13. Contractor and Subcontractor Management

Perfecting the art of finding, vetting, and structuring agreements with contractors and subcontractors—including payment schedules and deadlines—mitigating risks in one of the trickiest aspects of real estate.

14. Retail vs. Rental Renovation Strategies

Understanding the key distinctions between retail-focused renovations and rental property upgrades to optimize both short-term resale value and long-term durability.

15. The Realities of Landlording

Successfully managing rental properties requires a deep understanding of both the opportunities and challenges that come with being a landlord. From optimizing rental income and minimizing tenant-related issues to streamlining day-to-day operations, strategic property management is essential for long-term success. Drawing from seven years of hands-on experience and a portfolio of almost 50 high-cash-flow rental properties, I provide invaluable insights into tenant screening, lease structuring, maintenance strategies, rent optimization, legal protections, and effective property management systems—ensuring maximum profitability with minimal headaches.

16. Leveraging Tax Advantages as a Landlord

Utilizing tax-saving strategies to enhance profitability, reduce liabilities, and capitalize on the financial benefits associated with real estate ownership.

17. Acquiring and Developing Vacant Land

Identifying and evaluating vacant lots, determining feasibility for new construction, and executing profitable development projects in any market across the country.

18. Mastering Exit Strategies

Understanding the full spectrum of exit strategies—from selling and refinancing to 1031 exchanges and long-term portfolio expansion—ensuring optimal tax advantages and maximum profitability.

19. Access to an Extensive Industry Network

Over the course of my 16-year journey, I have cultivated a robust network of industry professionals, including brokers, attorneys, insurance providers, lenders, financial institutions, contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, vendors, and more. Having access to this network streamlines the investment process, ensures high-quality work, and unlocks exclusive opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to most investors.

20. Comprehensive Mentorship Programs

Offering multiple mentorship options, including one-on-one coaching, designed to take aspiring investors from analysis paralysis to confidently executing deals in a matter of weeks or months—depending on how committed they are to learning and applying these strategies. Through tailored guidance, I provide the tools, knowledge, and real-world insights needed to accelerate success in real estate investing.

Through years of hands-on experience, I have refined these skills to not only build my own success but also to guide and mentor others in achieving financial freedom through real estate. Whether navigating complex deals, scaling investment portfolios, or maximizing returns, these principles serve as the foundation for long-term success in this industry.

In this book, I share the daily habits, strategies, and mindset that fueled my success over a 16-year journey through the dynamic world of real estate investing, ultimately enabling me to achieve financial freedom by the age of 45.

I also reflect on the numerous costly mistakes and setbacks I encountered along the way, which were essential stepping stones in my path to success. With over 300 real estate transactions under my belt from marketing, acquisition, renovation, flipping, rental, and development, I’ve earned many lessons the hard way. These experiences, though challenging, have granted me invaluable insights, and I am eager to share this hard-earned knowledge with you. 

My goal is for others to benefit from the lessons of my “School of Hard Knocks” education, which, while costly, was the true catalyst for my growth both as an entrepreneur and as an individual.

It’s a simple truth: financial success in entrepreneurship is directly tied to the mistakes and failures you overcome. This isn’t merely a possibility, it’s a certainty.
My hope is to inspire and empower as many people as possible to transform their lives and realize the financial freedom they desire. Over the years, many people have told me how inspiring my journey has been and encouraged me to write a book. However, as an immigrant, I’ve never subscribed to a sense of entitlement. It wasn’t until this 16-year adventure in real estate reshaped my life that I finally decided to do it.

I genuinely hope this book brings value, insight, and inspiration to your own journey
