How to Become a Transaction Engineer with Don DeRosa on June 16, 2018
Posted on June 8, 2018 byWhen you come across a lead, do you know how to look at the information, analyze it and determine what to do with it next? There’s nothing worse than losing a deal because you don’t know multiple ways to structure the deal and how to present multiple offers to the seller.
We are in the midst of a sellers’ market. Although I wish it would never end, that simply isn’t possible. As Sir Isaac Newton once said “what goes up must come down“. He was referring to gravity of course, but the same can be said for real estate.
I want you to learn NOW, how to buy properties with no money down or with as little as possible because you can’t and shouldn’t always rely on traditional funding and traditional methods.
To be a good, creative deal structurer, two things need to happen… 1) You need to become a problem solver aka a “transaction engineer”. The better you understand the problem, the more solutions you can offer your seller. 2) You need to become your seller’s partner. It needs to be a win-win scenario for everyone.
During the Transaction Engineer Workshop, I’m going to teach you how to collect the right information, how to analyze the details and then how to use it to create a win-win solution for you and your seller.
At this event, you will learn how to:
- Ask the right kind of questions
- How to perform proper due diligence
- How to structure three different deals on each lead
- How to become a top transaction engineer by using techniques such as “subject to” owner financing, options, lease purchases and many more
- How to structure deals that eliminate/limit your need
for cash or cred - All this, plus answers to your questions and much more!
So join me, Don DeRosa, at the Transaction Engineer Workshop on Saturday, June 16th, 2018 from 9AM to 6PM at the Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay located at 3050 North Rocky Point Dr West in Tampa, FL as we discuss multiple offer strategies, negotiating and creative deal offer making.
I will also show you how to use my “Easy Offer Maker” to make profitable offers every time, using multiple strategies like owner financing, subject to, options and lease-options. If you want to learn how to make money on every lead you get your hands on, then REGISTER NOW and come join us to learn how to structure deals creatively and become a transaction engineer!
*PLEASE NOTE: The 2-for-1 Early Registration Special is for Members only. Members may bring a qualified guest such as a spouse, parent or adult child. Non-Members who join Tampa REIA between June 1st – 14th, 2018 can attend the workshop for NO CHARGE.
