What do you do when a seller is ready to sell, but an external obstacle stands in the way? Creativity is key!

• Turning a Roadblock into an Opportunity – Discover how I navigated a financing challenge when traditional lenders weren’t an option.
• Seller-Funded Purchase – Learn how I structured the deal so that the seller themselves funded the transaction.

• Innovative Deal Strategy – See how I combined Lease Option + Subject-To (Subto) on the way in and Lease Option on the way out for a winning deal structure.
• Rehab Without the Hassle – Find out how I got the Tenant/Buyer to handle the rehab—saving time, effort, and money!

This meeting breaks down the step-by-step approach to creative financing that made this deal a success. If you're looking to sharpen your deal structuring skills and maximize your profits, this one's for you!
