I'm Sherman Joseph — a licensed Florida realtor, real estate investor, and founder of Legacy Builders Academy. I started investing because I wanted more for my family, and I quickly realized that most people never get started because no one teaches them how.
That's why I built Legacy Builders Academy — to give everyday people the exact tools, strategies, and knowledge I wish I had when I started. Whether you're looking to buy your first rental, flip your first deal, or build a portfolio that replaces your income, I'm here to show you the way.

Here's what Legacy Builders Academy students are saying after going through the program.
"Working with Sherman has been an incredible experience. His knowledge of real estate is unmatched, and his ability to break down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps made all the difference for us. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to successfully purchase not one, but two investment properties! We couldn't be more grateful for his mentorship and support throughout the process."
"Before Legacy Builders Academy, I had no idea where to even start with real estate investing. Sherman broke everything down so clearly — the deal analysis, the financing, all of it. I went from total beginner to closing on my first investment property in under 6 months. His course paid for itself ten times over."
