Picture this: It’s a Tuesday, 9:14 a.m. A short note lands in an owner’s inbox.
Not a broker template. Not a “let’s hop on a quick call” hostage email…
Just ninety words, specific to his company, and a line that makes him lean forward:
“I already modeled a structure that protects your cash flow and gets your team through the first 120 days without drama.”
Two minutes later, he replies: “We’re not ‘on the market,’ but we should talk.”
Here’s the part most people miss:
Sellers underwrite you, lenders underwrite the numbers.
When you show up with a precise buy box, a calm funding story, and a simple plan for Day 1–120, the room relaxes. “Maybe” turns into “how.”
A week later, you’re on Zoom. No pitch deck. No chest beating. Just real questions.
You’ve pressure-tested coverage, know where seller finance fits, and…
…when you float “a three-sentence offer to react to,” the owner doesn’t bristle, he nods. Because it doesn’t read like a squeeze. It reads like a handrail.
The call is calm. The next step is obvious. The timeline is yours.
What kills this flow isn’t ambition, it’s noise. Months of browsing, broker bias, and DIY “tuition” that quietly costs $10k–$50k in rework.
The antidote is: three targeted touches, one real conversation, one modeled target, one micro-offer… every week.
This is the quiet advantage. Not louder hustle. Not a bigger pipeline. Clarity, then cadence.
Get the exact docs we use to close, including 220+ funding plays, 153 vetted deal sources, and 5,690+ active investors, so you draft faster and avoid rework.
Use pre-trained bots to draft outreach, model scenarios, and summarize diligence, including a Buy Box helper, so you move from blank page to credible offer in minutes.
Turn time-for-money work into equity using proven structures, step-by-step scripts, and simple deal math, so you get paid upfront and keep long-term upside.
Work 1-on-1 to package your deal for SBA, align your deck, projections, and DSCR, pick lenders, and prevent redo requests, so you avoid delays and stay on schedule to close.
| Decision Filter | EPIC Network | Traditional Broker | DIY (Solo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economics per deal | $2,985 initiation + $295/mo | Success fee typically 8-12% of purchase price, plus packaging fees | No fee, but you pay in time and expensive mistakes |
| Incentive alignment | We coach; no commissions. Your win = our win. | Paid to close their listing at their price | No conflict, but no guidance either |
| Deal flow quality | Off-market, owner-led convos; less competition | Broker pipeline; competitive, seller-framed | Marketplaces, stale listings, tire-kickers |
| Speed to LOI | Measured in weeks, not quarters (cadence + coaching) | Depends on broker pipeline & buyer queue | Inconsistent; start-stop cycles |
| Creative financing | Modeled funding stack: seller finance + SBA + investors + earn-outs | Often discourages creativity; keeps price optics clean | Possible, but hard to structure and defend |
| Diligence & rework risk | Templates + coach review avoid $10k-$50k in redo costs | Seller-sided materials; buyer rework common | Highest risk of missed items and lender "redo" |
| After-close support | Day 1-120 integration guidance; stay off the org chart | Almost none | None |
| Total cost of ownership | Dues often offset by $10k-$50k saved in closing waste | Success fee + legal + lender packaging + delays | "Free" upfront, expensive if you slip |

Immediate access on join. We coach, you close. Timelines and outcomes vary.
Plan for 3–5 hours. That covers targeted outreach, owner calls, and modeling 1–2 deals. Add the weekly coaching call when you want live feedback. The cadence is simple: ship touches, take calls, model, iterate.
You’ll run three lanes: off-market notes, warm intros, and curated brokers. Off-market is where the margin lives (less competition, cleaner terms). We give you the 90-word note, scripts, AI helpers, and weekly tuning—no spam, no spray-and-pray.
No. We coach; you close. You’ll get the system, the language, and the reviews that keep momentum high—without broker commissions or a third party steering your deal.
Works best for owners/operators/execs who can follow a plan. The Acquisition Accelerator covers fundamentals fast; coaching and DealDone™ keep you from making expensive “first-deal” mistakes.
No performance guarantees. Dues can be canceled anytime (re-enrollment wait applies). Initiation unlocks software, training, and licenses immediately, so it isn’t refundable.
Yes. The SBA Preflight Concierge helps you package the deal (deck, projections, DSCR), pick lenders, and avoid redo requests. We’re not the lender, but we’ll get you lender-ready.
Yes. Off-market outreach and creative structures work globally. Note: U.S. SBA 7(a) generally requires citizenship or permanent residency; non-U.S. buyers typically lean on seller finance, investor capital, and asset-/revenue-based lending. We’ll map the stack that fits your situation.
Not necessarily. Many deals close with seller finance + SBA/investors/earn-outs. Lenders will diligence cash flow and coverage; DealDone™ helps you model terms sellers accept and lenders approve.
Typical members aim for 9–12 weeks with steady cadence (some faster). Expect Weeks 1–2 to lock your Buy Box and set up tools, Weeks 3–4 to book owner calls, Weeks 5–8 to send credible offers.
