  • The Featured Presentation : Creative Deal Structuring in a Chaotic Market

     



    We’re continually told that to reach our full potential as real estate investors, we must think outside the box.  At the beginning of our discussion, guest Bill Cook will explain why this often-given advice is dead wrong.  It’s not about working outside of some box that counts.  To reach our full potential as creative dealmakers, we must realize there is no box! 
     
    Why spend your valuable time attending this month’s meeting?  Here are three common problems that will be resolved:  
     
    Are you tired of beating your head against the there’s-too-much-competition-out-there wall? 
    Is the only tool in your creative-deal-structuring toolbox a big damn hammer?  By “big damn hammer,” I mean you only know how to make 70-cents-on-the-dollar offers? 
    Frustrated at the cost of sending all those mailers that rarely – IF EVER – get you to the seller’s kitchen table? 
    Let’s add a fourth reason: Are you thinking about quitting?  
     
    Don’t quit! 
     
    Look, becoming a successful real estate investor is simple…but it’s not easy!  Remember: Our job as real estate investors is not to buy, sell or rent houses.  Our job is to help people solve their real estate problems.  Want to be a successful real estate investor?  Then don’t go out looking for deals.  Instead, find people to help and problems to solve!   
     
    Here are four real-world deal structures we will discuss:  
     
    How to sell a $500,000 property for $300,000, and still make $500,000 
    How to sell a house fast, for full price, without doing any work to the property, and get only cash buyers.
    How to use straight options.  Maybe THE best deal structuring tool in a chaotic market. 
    How to do a Subject-to Deal, and why sellers say yes to them. 
     
    As we look at the deals above, you’ll learn how each was found, structured, funded, and once bought, what was done to turn it into a mailbox money machine. Speaking of finding deals, you’ll see the fastest, cheapest and most effective way to get face-to-face with sellers.  Which marketing technique will get you to sellers’ kitchen tables 80% of the time?   
     
    Finally, here are a number of questions Bill promises to answer during the meeting: 
     
    Why is getting face-to-face with sellers so important to success? 
    When meeting with sellers, why should it be about them and not you?  
    What’s the most important question to ask a seller? 
    Why are T-bar and Teeter-totter Offers so much more effective than Purchase and Sale Contracts? 
    What’s the best way to learn how to creatively construct and fund deals? 
    When a seller calls, what two questions should you ask? 
    What’s the best website to determine a property’s value? 
    What’s the most you should pay for a property and still make the deal work?  (The answer to this question is guaranteed to rock your world!!!) 
    When an investor is failing, what two questions does Bill ask to determine the root of their problem? 
     
    Conclusion: 
     
    We promise that Bill’s event will not waste a minute of your valuable time!  Just the opposite is true.  You’ll come away with a better understanding of why creative deal structuring is its own language.
