Learn how to build your first home from the ground up and turn it into profit, even if you’re new to construction or development. This course breaks down the entire process into real-life, actionable steps so that you can go from empty land to a sold home.
You’ve probably spent hours scrolling listings, wondering where to start and how to build a profitable investment, not just a house.
Maybe you’re worried about buying land that will drain your budget with hidden issues like bad soil or zoning rules that kill your resale potential.
Or you’re stuck guessing how to get plans approved fast, afraid that delays and surprise fees will eat into your profit margin.
Most first-time builders question whether they’re making smart moves or just gambling their money on a house that might never sell for what they hoped.
The Builder’s Blueprint gives you a clear, step-by-step plan to build a home that’s designed to sell.
You’ll learn how to find land with real upside, check every detail that could become a costly problem, and lock in financing that fits your goals.
You’ll get the tools to manage the build efficiently and keep costs down, even if you’re not a contractor. Treating it like a business will make your first project a profitable success.
Then you’ll discover how to position your finished home in the market or refinance it into a long-term asset.
No more guessing games or costs that blow your budget.
Just a proven process that turns your build into a business you control.
Whether you want to replace your income or become a real estate investor, this course shows you exactly how to get there.
You don’t need to figure it all out by trial and error.
You just need the right blueprint and the drive to build something real.
Arthur and Ruben Ryapolov are the powerhouse team turning land into profit. In just a few years, they went from building their first duplex to running a $16-million-a-year real estate development business with over $84 million in total sales.
They’ve built more than 250 homes and have over 100 units currently in permitting. Their formula is simple: buy dirt cheap, move fast, build smart, repeat.
No fluff, just results.
Beyond construction, they’ve launched a consulting firm to help others navigate the complex world of real estate development. They turn chaos into clarity for builders who want to scale without stumbling.
Arthur and Ruben are also content creators who use social media to attract deals and investors. They’re not just building neighborhoods; they’re building a movement.
