with... Peter Fortunato

Use Your Brains...Not Your Dollars

A 2-Day Workshop with Peter Fortunato

How Many Deals Have You Already Walked Away From Because...

  • ...the numbers didn't work?
  • ...you didn't have the money?
  • ...you didn't know where the money would come from?
  • ...the seller wanted "too much"?
  • ...your lender said no?
  • ...you thought, "There's no deal here"?

What if the real problem wasn't the deal...

What if it was the way you were looking at it?

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 even realize are there.

Sees possibilities.

That's why Peter has spent more than 60 years putting together deals that other investors never thought were possible.

Here's One Example...

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.

The owner explained that his daughter had broken down three times in the past month. Every time, he and his wife had to rescue her and their grandchildren.

Peter realized something almost everyone else missed.

The seller wasn't really trying to sell a house.

He was trying to solve a family problem.

Instead of offering cash...

Peter offered his Chrysler minivan in exchange for a 15-year option on the property.

The seller accepted.

That story isn't really about a minivan.

It's about asking a different question.

It's about recognizing an opportunity everyone else overlooked.

Every investor at that meeting had the same opportunity.

Only one investor recognized it.

How many opportunities have you already walked away from... simply because you didn't realize there was another way to look at the deal?

 

Over These Two Days, Peter Is Going To Show You...

  • Why some of the best deals are missed before anyone ever makes an offer.
  • Why sellers don't always want what they say they want.
  • Why not having money—or access to money—doesn't have to keep you from doing deals.
  • Why asking, "Why are you selling?" can completely change the direction of a negotiation.
  • Why solving a seller's real problem often creates opportunities that negotiating over price never will.
  • Why some of the best opportunities never look like deals at first.
  • Why reaching for your checkbook first may cause you to overlook a better solution.
  • Why the biggest opportunities often have very little to do with the property itself.
  • And why one different way of thinking can change the direction of your investing business.

 

After Two Days With Peter...

You'll stop walking away from deals simply because they don't fit the traditional mold.

You'll begin hearing things sellers say that most investors completely miss.

You'll recognize when a seller's real problem has nothing to do with the property.

You'll stop assuming cash is the only solution.

You'll approach negotiations with more options, more confidence, and a completely different perspective.

You'll stop thinking, "There's no deal here," and start asking, "What am I missing?"

Most importantly...

You'll begin seeing opportunities that the average investor never even realizes exist.

Meet Peter Fortunato

For more than 60 years, Peter Fortunato has challenged investors to think differently.

His workshops aren't about memorizing another strategy.

They're about changing the way you look at sellers, negotiations, and opportunities.

Thousands of investors have attended Peter's workshops.

Many leave saying they didn't simply learn something new.

They left seeing deals—and people—in a completely different way.

 

Reserve Your Seat

One conversation can create a deal.

One question can uncover an opportunity.

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

The difference between a missed opportunity...

...and a great deal...

Is often the way you think.
