Creative Deal Structuring with Pete Fortunato
What if the secret to a great real estate deal isn’t the price, but how you structure it?
This month, we’re excited to welcome back one of the most respected names in creative real estate investing — Pete Fortunato!
Pete has been investing in real estate since 1965 and has spent more than 60 years building, structuring, and managing investment transactions and portfolios. Known for his creative thinking and ability to find solutions where others see obstacles, Pete specializes in structuring deals that benefit buyers, sellers, and investors alike.
From seller financing and creative terms to thinking beyond conventional bank loans, Pete has spent decades teaching investors how to approach opportunities differently.
Whether you’re a new investor or a seasoned pro, this is a meeting you won’t want to miss!
Come ready to learn, network, and perhaps look at your next real estate deal in an entirely new way!
