- Get out of your own way
- Treat wholesaling like a pawn shop instead of a real estate business
- Price a house in 30 seconds
- Keep an attitude of progress, not perfection
- Become who you need to be in order to be a millionaire
- And totally automate your business with delegation instead of tools and systems!
- Answers to your questions and much more!

Through his unique approach to Real Estate investing, Tom has bought and sold numerous properties across the country and has taught aspiring Real Estate investors how to do the same.

Creative Deal Structuring Workshop on November 10, 2018
Posted on November 3, 2018 byStructuring Workshop
Doubletree Suites Tampa Bay
3050 North Rocky Point Dr West, Tampa, FL
When 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…
- You need to become a problem solver. The better you understand the problem, the more solutions you can offer your seller.
- You need to become your seller’s partner. It needs to be a win-win scenario for everyone.
During the Creative Deal Structuring 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 1% 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 credit
- All this, plus answers to your questions and much more!
So join me, Don DeRosa, at the Creative Deal Structuring Workshop on Saturday, November 10th, 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. Tuition price will increase and will be per person after Early Registration Expires. Register now and save! Date, time and location are subject to change. Renew your Tampa REIA Membership or Join Tampa REIA as a Silver or Gold Member prior to registering and you can attend this event for FREE.

Do you want to learn how to start with nothing, start investing in real estate and go from zero to hero seemingly overnight? While this may sound unlikely or impossible to most new investors, David Minor didn’t get the message and didn’t take no for an answer.
I asked my good friend, David Minor, to join us on the next Beginning Investors Group Online webinar on Tuesday, August 28th at 7PM ET tell you his story on how he went from being a stranger in town with very little money, no real estate experience and no deals, to being one of the biggest wholesalers in Tampa, FL in under 2 very short years.
On the webinar, I asked David to tell you how he got started just a few years ago and how he and his business Vesado became successful so quickly in a highly competitive market like Tampa, FL dominated by our friends at New Western Acquisitions, NetWorth Realty, Homevestors and others to numerous to mention.
I also asked David to tell you, that if he had to start all over again from zero, knowing what he knows now, what if anything he might do differently in 2018 to start anew.
If you want to learn to go from zero to hero from someone who has been there and done that and was in your shoes just a few short years ago, register for the webinar now at BIGO.co and join us on Tuesday, August 28th at 7PM ET to learn how you can do it!
