A Note from the Lab of Charles Blair "The Mad Scientist"

Dear Real Estate Investor,

 

I’m Charles Blair. I’m known in the investor community as “The Mad Scientist” because I have spent the past twenty years experimenting and testing every aspect of real estate investing. My laboratory? The real world of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. 

 

I’m not a guru… I’m a Do-Ru. I don’t sit in an ivory tower talking about how real estate used to work. I am out in the field every day with my mastermind members, evaluating deals, helping them negotiate and make offers, advising on the best practices for your real estate business.

 

I structured the Real Deal Mastermind to give investors—established and new—what they need to succeed. It’s a unique combination of my one-on-one coaching, peer mentoring, and a vibrant community that creates a dynamic “Master Mind” of knowledge, creativity, and yes, fun. 


Bottom Line: The Real Deal Mastermind is your best chance to work with the most brilliant, successful business minds in the MD, DC and VA region, share insider information, and form partnerships and joint ventures that can last a lifetime.


In addition to my one-on-one coaching, you'll have access to mentors like Bill Fell and Valarie Scott, professional investors who are doing deals in their own businesses right now. For each of our quarterly masterminds, I bring in guest experts to show you what is working right now in the real world. 

 

I and the entire mastermind team believe there is no better avenue for real estate investing success then this program, designed specifically, to help real estate investors, and professionals of all levels achieve and further advance the success they strive for in their real estate business. 

 

The Real Deal Mastermind is the natural progression of that philosophy.

 

Zig Ziglar once said. “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” This is exactly what the Real Deal Mastermind group will do for you and your business: Help you realize more free time, more success, and more wealth. 


FTC More Mastermind

The FTC More Mastermind has four simple goals in mind:

  • To bring the brightest real estate, marketing, and business minds of this new, exciting economy together to share strategies, offer advice, and reveal what’s working (and what’s not working) in your businesses four times each year.
  • To nurture business partnerships and joint ventures between all of us creating a chemistry that increases the level of success and lifestyle of every person involved.
  • To create a support group of entrepreneurs who each intimately understand the struggles, challenges and joys of building a lasting enterprise and one where no one is ever left behind.
  • ​To infuse you with the knowledge and experience you need to confidently run your own business and gain true financial independence.

The Dumbest Guy In The Room

It’s been said over and over again that we become who we associate with the most. That’s why I have always tried my best to spend the bulk of my time with people smarter, more experienced and ultimately more successful than I am. 


In short, I want to always be the dumbest person in the room. 


Here’s a secret: We are all dumb about some things. And we are all very smart about some things. THAT’S the power of a mastermind. We leverage each other’s strengths, experiences, and yes, smarts, to lift us ALL up. 

The Power of Connection 

(The Mind Hive)

And that’s important, because at the end of the day it’s really not WHAT you know. It’s knowing how to find the right person with the right information—and having those people know how to find you.

 

The real strength of the group comes from its diversity: Wholesalers, rehabbers, landlords, real estate agents and brokers, lawyers (yes we allow a few) and seasoned CEOs are just a smattering of what drives this amazing group.


Every meeting you’ll learn something new that you can apply to your business. And along those lines, you need to know…

No Untested Theories Allowed

I am the Mad Scientist and that means I have tested, measured and tracked every aspect of creating and sustaining a successful real estate investing business. And I’m talking about real world experience, not theory. 


But that’s also where you come in—and other members of the FTC More Mastermind. 


We are people who are ACTIVELY doing deals, in the real world, every day of the week. 


These are NOT people that just sit around talking about untested theories, but rather, the real people who are in the trenches running multi‐million dollar businesses every single day.


Every FTC More Mastermind member is REQUIRED to share their victories as well as their (embarrassing) failures in great detail. You have to be willing to share. If this bothers you, please don’t apply. 


It’s truly valuable to learn from our mistakes. It’s even more valuable to learn from someone else’s mistake. 


One great idea executed is worth 1,000 ordinary ones. One mistake avoided can save you thousands. Executing on a single strategy from FTC More Mastermind can return your entire year’s investment in a moment, and to hear most members tell it, this happened dozens of times during EVERY single meeting.


The opportunities are right in front of you for the taking, so you and your team can carbon copy the success of your peers, and achieve much higher levels of success.


Don’t worry, the FTC More Mastermind isn’t all work. We also know how to have a good time as you’ll soon see.

But the most important reason why you should the FTC More Mastermind? 
My Students And I Are Closing Deals.PERIOD.END OF STORY. 

And that’s what it’s all about. Lots of people will tell you HOW. You can attend a weekend seminar, get all fired up, wake up Monday morning and not know where to start. Time and money out the door.

What makes the FTC More Mastermind different from every other real estate mastermind and training program?

Simple. We're not competitors, We are a true community.

In fact, that’s how we choose the guest experts for our Mastermind events.

I won’t lie: Real estate investing can be a minefield.


Now imagine you are walking through that minefield with an experienced guide swinging a bad-ass metal detector.

THAT’S WHAT THE FTC More Mastermind DOES FOR YOU.

No matter what you’re dealing with or where you want to go, there will be someone in the group who’s been there.


WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.

  • It’s not just training—though we have that.
  • It’s not just community—though we have that.
  • It’s not just coaching or mentoring or tools and resources.

WE HAVE YOUR BACK.

We are here to make sure you succeed. And we have proven success.

Our Success Rate

85% of our last Mastermind cohort had their first deal within 60 days. That other 15%? Everyone works at their own pace, but they closed deals within xx months of joining the Mastermind. We work hard to make sure everyone succeeds. And nothing gives you that extra little boost of confidence like knowing we’re in your corner and seeing other people, just like yourself, succeeding.  


NO ONE ELSE IN THE REAL ESTATE INVESTING INDUSTRY HAS THIS LEVEL OF SUCCESS. (You bet I’m proud!)

Success Is in the Room

Do You Qualify? 

Unlike other masterminds and trainings, we don’t accept everyone who applies. The truth is, some people aren’t ready for the level of information they will get. Over the years, the FTC More Mastermind team has found that mindset is more important than experience. Fill out the short application and sit down with Charles to go over where you are in your business and see if this is a good fit for you.

 Frequently Asked Questions

If I'm working a full-time job will I be able to be successful in the Mastermind?

Yes. Many of our Mastermind members work full time jobs—we have attorneys, teachers, medical professionals, even students who both go to school and hold down a job—people from all walks of life, some still working a full time job. Having financial freedom for many people means that they can continue to work a job that they enjoy and find fulfilling, without the stress and worry of monthly bills or a poorly-funded retirement.

Do you really give me one on one coaching or is it with someone on your team? 

You get me. As I said, I’m a Do-Ru, not a Guru. That means I am actively participating with my mastermind students. Your coaching calls are with me, not some customer service rep sitting in a call center, reading from a script. I also have a network of resources—other investors, real estate trainers, people in every aspect of the investing industry—that I can tap into with just a phone call if you have an out-of-the ordinary issue. 

I’m not in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. Will I get value from this mastermind?

While most of our members are from the DC-Maryland-Virginia area (DMV), we have mastermind members in over xx states and even one person successfully implementing our teaching in Europe. The real estate practices that we teach and endorse work in just about every market. (We’re not sure anything works in Russia right now!)

The real estate practices that we teach and endorse work in just about every market. (We’re not sure anything works in Russia right now!) 
The one-on-one coaching component of the FTC More Mastermind will focus on what is going on in your specific market and show you how to easily apply what you’re learning to your own back yard. PLUS, by networking with other investors from all over the country, you’ll gain new insights and ideas to apply to your market—techniques and strategies your competition may not be aware of—giving you a jump on your local market.

I’m just getting started in real estate investing. Does that disqualify me from joining?

Absolutely not. In fact, I love people new to the business because we can help you get started right, so you’re not wasting time spinning your wheels. Most important to us, we can help you avoid serious, costly mistakes that cause many newcomers to quit before they ever have the chance of achieving their dreams. 

It takes money to make money, Charles. My credit has been hit. If I find a deal, how can I fund it?

As a member of the FTC More Mastermind, you have access to all our resources, including private money lenders. But we also teach you how to structure transactions to show owners the benefits of seller financing. We show you how to make deals that can qualify for funding in the first place. (Too many people think they have a “great deal” that turns out to be not very great.) Recognizing how to create a fundable deal, how to structure transactions that create win/win scenarios for both the sellers and you, and how to present your deals to lenders—both private and commercial—are all part of the training you get inside the Real Deal Mastermind.
