The Real Question
How come you aren't doing deals?
The market's hot for buyers. Transactioneers have more deals than they can handle, by taking the leads everyone else throws away, finding the money, and getting sellers to say yes. It isn't something you wake up knowing. You have to learn it.
How many deals have you already walked away from because…
The seller wanted too much.
The numbers just didn't work.
You didn't have the money, or access to it.
So you moved on… again.
What if you were simply asking the wrong questions?
Two ways to look at every deal
The average investor vs. Peter
The Average Investor…
Looks at the property
Negotiates over price
Wonders where the money will come from
Walks away when the numbers don't work
Assumes the seller wants exactly what they're asking for
Sees obstacles
Moves on to the next lead
Peter...
Looks beyond the property
Finds out what the seller is really trying to accomplish
Searches for solutions instead of arguing over price
Looks for another way to put the deal together
Recognizes opportunities most investors never realize are there
Sees possibilities
That's why Peter has spent more than 60 years putting together deals other investors never thought were possible.
Here's one example
The minivan that closed the deal
"Why are you selling?"
Peter was speaking at a real estate meeting when another investor stood up and announced he wanted to sell one of his rental properties. Most investors immediately thought, "How much does he want?"
Peter asked a different question: "Why are you selling?"
The answer had nothing to do with the house....
Over these two days
Everything Peter is going to show you
A working playbook for seeing and structuring the deals other investors miss.
How to spot the best deals before anyone else even makes an offer.
Why sellers rarely want what they say they want, and how to find out what they really need.
How to do deals even when you have no money, or no access to it.
The one question, "Why are you selling?", that can flip an entire negotiation.
How solving a seller's real problem creates deals that haggling over price never will.
How to recognize opportunities that don't look like deals at first.
Why reaching for your checkbook first can cost you the better solution.
Why the biggest opportunities often have nothing to do with the property itself.
The single shift in thinking that can change the direction of your entire business.
After two days with peter
You'll never look at a deal the same way
You Will:
Stop walking away from deals just because they don't fit the traditional mold.
Begin hearing things sellers say that most investors completely miss.
Recognize when a seller's real problem has nothing to do with the property.
Approach negotiations with more options, more confidence, and a different perspective.
Stop thinking "There's no deal here," and start asking "What am I missing?"
Begin seeing opportunities the average investor never realizes exist.

One different way of thinking can change the direction of your investing career.
