The Secret Weapon Most Investors and Agents Ignore

Deal Structuring – An Underused Tactic for Serious Returns

The right structure can make a bad deal good… or a good deal great. And yet most investors still default to cash or conventional financing, missing out on creative approaches that yield serious ROI with minimal risk.

🤝 What’s Deal Structuring?

It’s how you buy, not just what you buy. Structuring includes:

• Seller financing

• Lease options

• Subject-to purchases

• Equity partnerships

• Wraparound mortgages

• Combining private money with creative exits

Each opens doors that traditional offers slam shut.

💡 Why It Works:

• Lower cash needed = higher leverage

• Fewer banks = fewer headaches

• Customized terms = built-in flexibility

• Less competition = better deals

📈 Real Example:

A seller needed $10K to move but was open to payments. Instead of offering $110K cash, we offered $95K with $10K down and monthly payments over 5 years at 5%. That structure saved $15K and gave us cash flow from day one.

✅ Pro Tip:

Always ask sellers what they need, not just what they want. Their situation often creates the deal you never saw coming.
