PLEASE NOTE THIS MEETING IS ON THURSDAY, 9/18/2025!
We're excited to have the legendary Pete Fortunato back at the NSDREI!
We always take advantage of having him join us whenever he is town. That's why the September meeting is the 2nd THURSDAY!Interest rates are stubborn, inventory is thin, and financing costs are squeezing deals, so they don’t pencil. Yet creative investors, like Pete, are still finding ways to structure opportunities that make money, when others walk away from the deal.
Join us as our Q & A interviewer-extraordinaire, President Derek Harms, talks with legendary deal architect Peter Fortunato, to break down practical strategies for closing deals in today’s market without relying on banks, expensive capital from hard or private lenders, or picture-perfect houses.
Whether you flip, wholesale, or hold, you’ll learn how to use paper, promises, and people to buy more real estate now and control even more for the future.Some topics we plan to cover:
- How to create win-win offers using terms instead of price
- What’s working right now with seller financing (notes, partials, wraps)
- Why Master/Sandwich Leases & Lease Options are making a comeback
- Structuring Option Contracts to profit from properties you never own
- How to exchange time, tax, and paper instead of cash (Exchange Contracts)
- Equity-Sharing deals: giving up a piece to control a lot more
- Assignment and novation strategies
And questions from the audience — Bring your deals, questions, and challenges!
