Why We Built It
Most professionals are never taught how to become investors
Physicians and high-income professionals spend years mastering a demanding craft. Very few receive any formal education on evaluating private investments, understanding tax strategy, building passive income, or assembling the right professional team.
The result is a familiar pattern: capable people either stay on the sidelines because nothing feels verifiable, or move forward on someone else's confidence because they lack a framework of their own.
We built Timberview Academy to close that gap.
Our mission is simple: help you become a more knowledgeable, more confident investor.

Your Instructor
Taught by a physician who walked the same path
Dr. Tyson Cobb is a Mayo-trained orthopaedic surgeon, past president of an international orthopaedic organization, and author of the #1 bestselling book Wealth by Design.
He started where many physicians are now: earning well, following conventional advice, and wondering why financial freedom still felt out of reach. He began studying private investments and proactive tax strategy, applied that education to his own financial life, and moved toward work-optional medicine.
He teaches the Academy alongside the Timberview team — not as theory, but as the education he wishes he'd had two decades earlier.

The Method
The Wealth by Design Framework
Three decisions that are usually handled separately — and what changes when you connect them. The concepts build in order, so the Academy teaches them in order.
-
01
Keep more intentionally
Tax preparation explains what already happened. Tax strategy asks what can be structured differently within the law. Learn which proactive questions belong in the conversation — and which specialists can answer them.
-
02
Evaluate before believing
A projected return is an output of assumptions, not an explanation. Learn a repeatable process for examining the operator, market, leverage, business plan, incentives, and downside — including the conviction to walk away.
-
03
Build for optionality
Your professional income is powerful, but it shouldn't be the only engine carrying your financial future. Learn how passive ownership structures work, and how they may create options for your time, family, and legacy.

In Their Words
What physicians say about learning with Timberview
Working with these individuals provided immediate returns, which set the stage for participating in the investment opportunities offered by Timberview. What really sold me was the education provided and connections offered up front, even before I made the decision to participate in any of Timberview's investment options.
Tyson is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and is able to explain the transactions in terms that are easily understandable. I would recommend him to anyone interested in investing in multi-family properties.
Tyson and Timberview Capital have assisted me in learning considerably more about diversification into multifamily real estate, short-term rental options, and commercial real estate. Tyson's honesty and past history create a comfort level for me when investing with him in Timberview Capital's opportunities.
I have worked with Tyson on multiple investments since 2023, and have found him to be not only very knowledgeable, but also very focused on educating even the most novice investor. As a beginner in this space, this attention was very much appreciated.
The Timberview Academy Confidence Guarantee
We believe every member should leave Timberview Academy with greater confidence evaluating private investment opportunities.
If, after completing the curriculum, onboarding, and deal-evaluation framework, you still don't feel confident applying the Timberview investment framework, the Timberview team will continue working with you one-on-one until you can apply it with greater confidence.
This guarantee applies to your educational experience and your confidence in applying the framework. It is a guarantee of educational support, not a guarantee of investment performance or financial results.Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience with real estate or private investments?
No. Timberview Academy is built for professionals who know how to earn well but haven't received formal education on private investing, tax strategy, or due diligence. You'll learn how to examine an opportunity, identify warning signs, and ask informed questions before deciding whether it deserves your capital.
Do I need to be an accredited investor to join the Academy?
No. The Academy is an education product and is open to anyone who wants to learn. Separately, private securities offerings sponsored by Timberview Capital are made only to verified accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D, through a private placement memorandum and related offering documents. Joining the Academy is not an investment and does not create any right to participate in an offering.
Will I need to manage properties or become a landlord?
No. The Academy focuses on passive investment structures in which experienced operating teams manage the properties or businesses. Your role is learning how to evaluate the operator, the structure, the assumptions, the potential risks, and the alignment of interests before making your own decision.
Is Timberview Academy providing financial or tax advice?
No. Timberview Academy provides financial education. Timberview does not provide legal, tax, investment, or financial advice, and nothing in the curriculum should be construed as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. The Academy is not a substitute for your CPA, financial advisor, or attorney — its purpose is to help you understand your options, ask better questions, and recognize when a specialist is needed.
Why would I need the Academy if I already have a CPA and a financial advisor?
Your current professionals may be excellent at what they were hired to do, but their mandates are usually narrow. A CPA may focus on reporting and compliance; a traditional advisor may focus primarily on publicly traded investments. The Academy helps you connect taxes, private investments, due diligence, and diversification into one coherent picture — so you can be a better-informed client.
What if I want to learn but I'm not ready to invest?
That's often where education is most valuable. Joining the Academy doesn't require you to commit capital to anything. You can build your knowledge, learn the evaluation framework, and develop confidence before deciding whether any investment fits your circumstances.
How does Timberview evaluate private investment opportunities?
Timberview examines the operating team and its background, market fundamentals, financing, business plan, projected assumptions, investment structure, and alignment of interests. Every investment still carries risk, and each investor is responsible for their own due diligence. The framework is designed to help you see those risks more clearly before making a decision.
