Thinking Like an Investor: Novations, Strategy, and Faster Deals

Flipping Phoenix is officially back—and we’re kicking things off with a high-value, market-relevant discussion focused on what’s actually working right now in Phoenix real estate.
Each month, this group will center around one timely topic, while still leaving room for open discussion, relationship-building, and deal-level networking. This month’s focus is Novations—one of the most talked-about strategies in today’s wholesale and investor landscape.

### What We’ll Cover

Novations Explained (with Real-World Context)
We’re joined by Kirsten Banks from TC Rescue, who will break down:

• What novations are (and what they are not)
• When they make sense vs. when they don’t
• How wholesalers, agents, and investors are using them responsibly
• Common pitfalls, compliance considerations, and best practices

Local Case Study: Cutting Days on Market by ~70%
Anthony Frusciano will walk through a Phoenix-based case study showing:

• Strategic pricing and positioning decisions
• Market signals most people miss
• How investor thinking can dramatically change outcomes—even in slower markets

This isn’t theory. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at decision-making that impacts speed, leverage, and results.

### Who Should Attend

• Investors looking to adapt to changing deal structures
• Wholesalers navigating tighter margins and scrutiny
• Agents who want to expand their toolbox and think like investors
• Lenders, contractors, and industry partners working with active operators

Even if novations aren’t your focus, this is a high-signal room for networking, market insight, and collaboration.

### Format

• Short, focused presentations
• Practical Q&A
• Open networking and conversation

No pitching. No gurus. Just people doing real deals in the Phoenix market.
