    Who It’s For / Who It’s NOT For

    Above Asking Investor Community is Best for:
  •  

    • You’re an active investor or scaling operator
    • You’ve closed at least one real estate deal (or are in the middle of one now)
    • You’re looking for high-level connections—not just education
    • You’re willing to give as much as you receive
    • You’re coachable, resourceful, and ready to take real action
  • Above Asking Investor Community is Not a Fit If:
  •  

    • You’re still “thinking about” getting into real estate
    • You haven’t taken any action or closed a deal yet
    • You’re just looking for free resources or casual networking
    • You want others to do the work for you
    • You’re not ready to invest time, energy, or capital into your growth
  • Real Results from Real Operators

    "This group is more than just real estate; it’s a community. The support, the honest feedback, and the willingness to share resources are unmatched. It’s the kind of group that makes sure you succeed, not just in your next deal, but for the long haul.Joining this mastermind group has been the single best investment I’ve made in my real estate career. The collective experience, market insights, and networking opportunities have opened doors I didn’t even know existed. Without this group, I’d still be on the sidelines; now I’m already working on my second flip.”

    -Roberto C.

    “This group has given me the confidence, knowledge and accountability I was lacking. Every person in this group is willing to help you if they can and if they can’t they will point you in the right direction. This is not just another RE community, this community feels like family and you can tell everyone wants every member in this group to succeed and see’s your potential before you even can. I highly recommend joining this community/family as they will push you in the right direction for your business. Definitely a group that lives up to “collaboration over competition”! ”

    -Whitney D.

    “As a new investor, I worried about making expensive errors. The group helped me spot red flags in deals and introduced me to reliable contractors and lenders. I’ve saved thousands just by applying what I’ve learned here. The mastermind gave me the confidence and clarity I needed. The guidance from experienced investors helped me close my very first deal within six months. The Friday calls are a game-changer, packed with powerful discussion and in-depth analysis!”

    -Roberto C.

    “This group has taught me so many small but powerful things that really add up. Mark and Keeley’s guidance has honestly skyrocketed my trajectory and helped me skip the mistakes they made plus all the little nuggets and lessons from everyone else here have been huge."

    -Sean C.

    “Above asking gave me the confidence to do my first deal and has been there to support me through the challenges and cheer for my successes. The professional connections have been priceless and many group members have become friends. For me, the support system alone has made this group a no brainer. ”

    -Jillian G.

    “So glad I joined this group. Mark and Keeley are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I’ve met some great people and connections, and even done deals with people from the group. Love all of the onsites and events! Highly recommend ”

    -Aman S.

    “What sets Above Asking apart is its truly authentic and organic community - members genuinely want to see each other succeed. Being part of the group has been a game-changer for both my appraisal business and my personal investing. I've been able to provide valuation services to many fellow investors, which has grown my business while delivering real value to the group. It's an incredible network that supports both personal and professional growth.”

    -Mike S.

    Above Asking has been an amazing group for me to be a part of because I get to help investors grow their business. As the go to lender for many in the Tampa Bay area, I frequently serve as a second set of eyes, but my guidance can only go so far. This group is what Tampa needed. Investors have a place to collaborate, share ideas and best practices and learn from those with more experience. I’m grateful to the Toro family for creating this community and look forward to seeing it grow further

    -John R.

    I wouldn’t have had the courage to take the jump to complete my very first hard money transaction and flip, if it wasn’t for Mark, Keeley, and Above Asking. They are much more than investors/flippers- Mark and Keeley truly care about their members and the community.

    -Kayla M.

    I was able to make connections in this group that helped secure my first-time homebuyers a sweet deal! Also, any questions I have, this group is quick to respond with the best advice! Great people to work with.

    -Krista G.

    Joining a real estate mastermind community has been a game changer as I explore house flipping - a new avenue beyond my experience with long-term rental investments. It’s been exciting to learn from others’ real-world successes and challenges, while also having a trusted group to turn to for feedback and ideas. This community has not only fueled my motivation to try something new, but also connected me with a network of investors and entrepreneurs who could become future partners.

    -Royce C.

    Even though my own investing plans have shifted over time, Above Asking has remained a consistent and encouraging presence in my life. Keeley and Mark have created such a strong, supportive environment - it’s hard not to leave every meetup feeling inspired. Whether I'm actively doing deals or just navigating my next steps, the group always challenges me to make the hard decisions and keep growing every day.

    -Marissa D.

    Above Asking has created something really special- a group full of go-givers who genuinely want to help each other win. Every event is full of great energy, new connections, and people who are not just talking business, but also showing up for each other in real ways. I always leave feeling inspired and supported. And knowing I can text Mark or Keeley anytime if I need anything? That level of access and community is rare. So grateful to be a part of it!

    -Caylee R.

    Being part of Above Asking has been a game changer for me. Mark and Keeley have created such a genuine, welcoming space where investors at every level feel seen, supported, and inspired. The collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and real connections in this group are truly next level and I can’t wait to keep growing and see what’s ahead for all of us.

    -Sterling C.

    The Friday Zoom lunches have honestly become one of the best parts of my week. We go over real deals, talk through wins and challenges, and it always feels like a tight-knit group. Mark and Keeley truly care about helping people grow, and the way they break down deals has changed the way I look at opportunities.

    -Patrick D.

    Above Asking is the go to resource for real estate investing in our local area. Mark and Keeley have built an incredible community that’s so welcoming and extremely informative. I joined when we first launched our real estate investing business, and the knowledge they openly share, along with taking us to real on-the-go projects with an in-depth analysis, accelerated our learning tenfold. It’s been an invaluable resource every step of the way.”
