Special LIVE MASTERCLASS: Sat, 1/18/2025

Advanced Creative Deal Structuring in a Changing Market with Bill Cook

We are so excited to invite you to a LIVE Masterclass where our special guest Bill Cook, one of the best speakers in the nation, will show you CREATIVE ways to construct win-win deals in this changing market.

Heard the phrase, The cheese has moved?

Last year, home values were skyrocketing, rent rates were through the roof, and short-term rentals were 100% occupied. My, the difference a year can make!

Today, home values are leveling off, rental rates are coming down, and too many short-term rentals are sitting vacant.

Obviously, the cheese is on the move. What do we do? Do we play like Chicken Little and run for cover? Or do we recognize this for what it is: a great time to pick up our creative-deal-structuring toolboxes and go out and find people to help and problems to solve?

If you started investing in real estate after 2012, creative deal making may be a foreign concept. It’s likely the only tool in your deal-structuring toolbox is the proverbial Big Damn Hammer... you know, a 70-cent-on-the-dollar-all-cash offer.

Ever wondered about all the other ways an offer can be creatively constructed? Creatively funded? Creatively held? Creatively exited?

You are in for a special treat at MREIA in January! We are honored to have Bill Cook come to our wonderful community and share his best techniques and creative-deal-making tools in action!

Register ASAP at special early-bird pricing!

I sincerely hope you like what you do, as well as like the people you work with. After all a good part of your life is spent working so you might as well enjoy it. But if you are one of those 5/7ths people, who live for the weekend, and yearn for something better, something you enjoy and can start doing part time, real estate investing may be for you.

There is no business quite like real estate investing. You can control large amounts of property with small amounts of cash and safely leverage your way to real wealth and prosperity.

But you need to do it the right way. Educating yourself as to the proper way to structure deals that benefit you and the other parties involved is of vital importance. Also learning how to manage and renovate properties is also of the utmost importance.
