The name of the game is financial freedom, and the key is mailbox money!

This creative-deal-structuring concept was born with a two-word email. Bill (Cook) called Pete (Fortunato) with a deal-structuring question. Pete’s idea worked and the deal quickly closed. Bill sent Pete a ‘Thank You’ letter for his “outside-the-box” advice. Pete replied with a simple, two-word email: “What Box?” It was classic Pete!

A successful investor’s most important tools are imagination, curiosity, fearlessness, persistence, and the willingness to meet with sellers. What Box? helps you see the different ways you can creatively construct a deal without using institutional financing. What Box? helps you realize that when it comes to real estate investing, there is no box. Everything is Possible!

About the Speaker

Bill (and Kim Cook) are a husband and wife real estate investing team.They began investing in real estate in 1995. Most of their investment properties are within a 5-mile circle of the Cartersville, Georgia Walmart.

Their investment portfolio consists of single-family rental homes, a small mobile home park, plus notes and options. Their REI business was built squarely on the back of knocking on homeowners’ doors.

Their core belief is that real estate investing is not about buying, selling or renting property.It’s about helping folks solve their real estate problems.

Bill’s main responsibilities are meeting with sellers, structuring creative win-win deals, managing their rental properties and tenants, and taking care of the paperwork. Kim’s main responsibilities are overseeing all repairs and rehabs, marketing their properties, and selling their flips.

Bill has made a living knocking on homeowners’ doors since 1972 – since he was twelve-years old. At twelve, because he was allergic to cutting grass, he began taking his mother’s Electrolux shampooer door-to-door and offering to shampoo the homeowner’s biggest or dirtiest room for $5.

In 1995, when Bill and Kim began investing in real estate, their primary marketing method was knocking on homeowners’ doors. Bill quickly learned that buying houses from a homeowner was a whole lot easier and a lot more profitable than selling vacuums to a homeowner! www.billandkimcook.com
