2. Ask a question. Type in the box that says Ask Hovis anything... and send it. Under the answer, tap a source to open the lesson it came from.
3. Analyze a deal. Tap the mode button under the box (it starts on Ask a Question) and pick Analyze a Deal. Choose the deal type and enter your numbers.
4. Build a strategy. Pick Build a Strategy, answer the questions, then tap Build my strategy.
