How the BuildUp Challenge Works

2026 is your year to do it differently. The BuildUp Challenge is a year-long, hands-on mentorship program where Arthur and Ruben personally guide you to build your first home, achieve financial freedom, and join a mission to build 511 homes nationwide.

Step 1. Get on the wait list and understand the mission

Until January 1st we will be sharing a series of information and questions so you can determine if this is for you, and it will help us determine if we're a good fit for each other. This is a student-partner relationship and communication is key.

Step 2. Complete your free application Jan 1st

Applications will be sent out January 1st. We say no to applications more than we say yes. It's imperative for your and our success that we are on the same mission.

Step 3. Hyper intense hands on guidance with Arthur and Ruben

A year long hands-on mentorship with Arthur the Developer, Ruben the Builder, and the entire BuildUp team. The Ryapolov brothers will pick students to visit their sites in person.

here's what's inside

Unlock Immediate Access To ALL 5 of Our Programs + direct hands-on mentorship with Arthur the Developer and Ruben the Builder.

  • Deal Finder Program: A deep-dive training on how to identify, evaluate, and secure profitable lots. You’ll learn to analyze zoning, calculate build and resale values, assess market comps, and project equity before breaking ground — using the same underwriting system our team uses for development projects.

  • First Time Builder Program: ​A complete start-to-finish roadmap that shows you exactly how to plan, design, and build your first home for six-figure profit. You’ll master budgeting, contractor management, project scheduling, and the process of exiting tax-free through the homeowner capital gains exemption.

  • The Owner Builder Course: (NEW) Go behind the scenes of a real home build, documented from foundation to final sale. You’ll see real cost breakdowns, permit packages, and project management systems in action. This isn’t theory — it’s the real documentation from our builds, designed to help you model proven processes.

  • The Developer Blueprint: (NEW) An advanced course for those ready to go beyond personal homes. You’ll learn how to structure deals with investors, raise private capital, navigate multi-lot permitting, and scale into subdivision and small development projects. This is the system to multiply equity and build long-term wealth through development.

  • The BUILDROOM - 1 Year Free: Get one full year inside BuildRoom, our private builder community. Network with thousands of active members, join live Q&As, share progress, access deal reviews, and receive ongoing mentorship directly from the founders. BuildRoom is where every lesson turns into action — and where builders grow together.

  • Live Mentorship Call Library: Gain access to a vault of recorded coaching calls where Ruben and Arthur mentor members through real deals, construction challenges, financing strategies, and market shifts. Each call captures real-world solutions and growth tactics used by successful builders inside the program.

  • Spend a day with the Ryapolov Brothers: Arthur and Ruben Ryapolov will hand-pick students to fly out and visit their site and BuildUp together in person.
