How to Structure Creative Deals to Take Advantage of the Slow Market!

***Due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to postpone this upcoming meetup. It will now be held on Wednesday, Nov 19.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. ***
*****************************

In today’s slow market, most buyers and sellers are stuck waiting for prices or rates to move.

But smart investors don’t wait – they create opportunities.

They know that deals aren’t found – they’re engineered.

This advanced session will break down how to make the market work for you through creative seller financing and advanced deal-making. You’ll learn practical, real-world techniques – not theory – for structuring deals that work when traditional financing doesn’t.

This isn’t your entry-level“How to buy your first Duplex”. It’s the same strategic framework that only a small fraction of investors truly understand – and fewer execute correctly. By mastering these structures, you can unlock deals others can’t, gain leverage in any market, and turn a “frozen” deal environment into your biggest opportunity.

Ultimately, you’ll be able to make deals work even when conventional financing says “no.”

====================
What You’ll Learn:

• How to add flexibility to any negotiation – and make deals work without slashing price.
• VTB (Vendor Take-Backs) – how to use seller financing to bridge gaps, reduce your downpayment, or even improve cashflow.
• AFS (Agreement for Sale) – how to take control of properties without triggering needing to qualify for another mortgage or paying Land Transfer Tax upfront.
• Timing & Structuring Tactics – including delayed closings, early possession, leasebacks, and staged closings that create value before you even own the property.
• Tax & cost efficiencies – strategies to defer capital gains or minimize transaction costs through structure, not luck.

====================
Example Scenarios:

• You don’t have the $300k required for another $1.5M triplex → VTB to lower the downpayment requirements.

• You want another investment property but can’t qualify for another mortgage → AFS to take control of property while keeping the seller on title & existing financing.

• You found the perfect property to do a Renovation or a 4+1 Development Project, but seller is fixed on price → Delayed closing and other negotiation tactics to capture uplift and value without needing a lower price.

====================

Who This Is For:

• Real estate investors ready to level up beyond basic buy-and-hold to unlock bigger profits.
• Investor Realtors®, Mortgage Professionals, and Real Estate Lawyers who want to structure smarter, more creative deals for their clients.
• Sellers and buyers frustrated by today’s frozen real estate market who need practical, creative ways to get deals done.
• Anyone who wants to understand how sophisticated investors structure deals under the radar.
