Answers for every First Deal System™ purchase. Most access questions resolve automatically when you sign in with your checkout email.

Receipts and PDF downloads

Where are my PDFs?

SamCart emails your receipt right after checkout. It contains the download links for every PDF you bought: the First Deal Field Guide™, the Seller Conversation Playbook (if added), and the First Deal System™ Quick Start Guide (included with app access).

I can't find my receipt.

Search your inbox, spam and promotions folders for "SamCart" or "First Deal" using the email you entered at checkout. Receipts come from SamCart, not from this app.

A download link doesn't open.

Open the link on a desktop browser or try a different browser. If it still fails, open a support request below with the topic "Downloads" and it will be reviewed in the support queue.

Creating your account and signing in

How do I get into the app?

Go to app.firstdealsystem.com/auth?mode=signup and create an account with the same email you used at checkout. If you sign up with email and password, confirm the message sent to your inbox, then sign in.

I forgot my password.

On the sign-in page choose "Forgot password". A reset link is sent to your account email.

I already have an account.

Just sign in. Your purchase is checked automatically every time you sign in.

Purchase verification

How is my purchase verified?

When you sign in, the app checks SamCart directly for a paid First Deal System™ app order whose customer email matches your confirmed account email. When it matches, the app unlocks automatically. Nothing needs to be sent by you.

I bought the app but I still see the purchase screen.

Make sure your account email exactly matches your checkout email, and that you confirmed your email. Then sign out and back in. If you used a different email, see the next section.

I bought only the Field Guide.

The Field Guide is a PDF delivered in your SamCart receipt. App access is a separate purchase, so the app stays locked for Field Guide only orders.

Checked out with a different email

My account email is different from my checkout email.

Create an account using your checkout email and confirm it. Check my purchase checks that account email; it cannot link a purchase made under another email. If you need help, use the different-email review form on the purchase screen or a support request with the topic Email mismatch. A review is not an automatic access grant.

The purchase check says the email does not match.

That protects buyers from someone else claiming their order. Sign up with the checkout email instead, or open a support request with the topic Email mismatch.

Getting started with the First Deal System™ app

What should I do first?

Open the app, choose New Deal File, and enter the property's price, rent and expenses in Setup. Then work through Fit, Math, Verify, Talk, Terms and Decide. The Quick Start Guide follows the same steps.

Can I leave fields blank?

Yes. Unknown values can stay blank. The app marks them as unknown and lowers Data Confidence instead of guessing.

What do the decisions mean?

PURSUE, KEEP INVESTIGATING, RENEGOTIATE, PROFESSIONAL REVIEW, WALK AWAY or STOP. A score never overrides a red flag, and PURSUE needs strong opportunity and data confidence. Decisions are educational, not legal, tax or lending advice.

Using the First Deal Field Guide™

Explore the $27 Field Guide and optional email updates
How should I start the Field Guide?

Pick one real property you are curious about. As you read, write down its price, rent, expenses and loan terms, and mark which are verified and which are assumptions.

Does the Field Guide include the app?

No. The app is a separate First Deal System™ purchase that includes the Quick Start Guide.

Using the Seller Conversation Playbook

When do I use the Playbook?

Before you talk with a seller. Turn each unknown on your property list into a question, and use the Playbook to phrase it clearly and respectfully.

Seller Financing Wealth Calculator™

Is the calculator free?

Yes. It compares a traditional sale with seller financing at app.firstdealsystem.com/seller-financing-calculator. Inputs stay in your browser and are not saved.

Why is the projected total not profit?

It is projected nominal cash over the selected years, before taxes. It is not profit and not a comparable investment return.

What does AITD mean?

An all-inclusive trust deed (wraparound). It only applies when an existing mortgage stays in place. The existing loan's rate and the buyer's AITD rate are entered separately.

Deal Files

Who can see my Deal Files?

Only you. Each account has a private workspace, enforced by the database.

Are my changes saved?

Yes. Deal Files save as you work. Results are recalculated from your inputs every time, so numbers never drift.

Follow-up emails

How do I stop follow-up emails?

Open the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any First Deal follow-up email, then confirm. Receipts and account emails are not affected.
