See all- Online Masterclass: How (and Why) to Do Wrap Loans with... Anita JohnsonNeeds location
[NOTE: RSVPing here does NOT get you a link: you'll need to register at our website, HERE, to do that.]
Wrap mortgages are one of the most powerful tools in your creative finance toolkit.
If you’re a buyer/borrower, they let you get below-market rates and payments.
If you’re a lender or seller, they let you create incredible rates of return, with a lot more control than a typical 2nd mortgage offers.
But they’re also widely misunderstood… and often poorly explained by gurus… and full of traps for the unwary.
That’s why we’re bringing you this step-by-step, hands-on workshop with the Anita Johnson, AKA “The Wrapping Queen.”
At this intensive, interactive online event, she’ll walk you through:
- Why wraps are the best solution to a lot of “I need money for downpayment and repairs” situations
- How they work—and yes, you’ll FINALLY get it
- The 7 steps to successful wrap mortgage deals
- How to evaluate a wrap mortgage deal, step by step
- The collateral conversation: what matters, what doesn’t, and how to choose
- Anita’s Rules for Wrap Mortgages (follow these, and you’ll avoid 90% of the pain)
- How to minimize your risk and avoid costly legal or financial missteps
- How to explain wraps clearly and confidently to everyone involved
- Exercises to help you spot wrap opportunities and practice structuring them the right way
Whether you’ve never done a wrap before, or you’ve done a few and want to do them better, you’ll walk away with a repeatable model and more confidence than ever.
And we guarantee that, or your money back.
The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants will receive the recording—so if you can’t attend live, make sure to register anyway!
Plus, it’s CHEAP:• Members: $47 through July 24 ($67 after)
• Non-members: $97 through July 24 ($127 after)
• Express Success Members are FREE (but you do have to register)This strategy is too valuable—and too easy to get wrong—to wing it.
