Seminar with Peter Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford, & Bill Cook on April 14, 2012
Posted on April 1, 2012 byPeter Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford, & Bill Cook present
Seats are limited. REGISTER NOW!
Pete Fortunato, Dyches Boddiford and Bill Cook, who combined have nearly 100 years of Creative Real Estate Investing experience, will present their full-day, one-of-a-kind What Box? – The Seminar
THE STORY:
This nothing-like-it-before seminar was brought to life with a phone call. Bill called Pete with a question about a complicated deal he was working on. A few days later, after getting it closed, Bill sent Pete a nice letter thanking him for his terrific thinking-outside-the-box advice. Pete replied with a simple, two-word email. It read: What Box? It was classic Pete!
THE LESSON:
All deals are possible – There Is No Box!
As an investor, what is your most valuable tool? Imagination! And imagination will die if kept in a box – if you’ve been in a government building, then you know what we mean. To thrive, your imagination must be allowed to run free so it can create new ways of structuring win-win deals.
A lesson to remember: Deals aren’t found. Opportunities are found; deals are structured!
One of the biggest problems investors face is trying to put together a deal using boilerplate thinking and boilerplate documents. Sadly – for most investors – if the square peg doesn’t fit in the round hole, they give up on the deal. Their inside-the-box thinking keeps them from achieving the huge level of success that’s right at their fingertips…if only they would…..
What Box? – The Seminar is about helping you see different ways a deal can be creatively constructed without using institutional financing. It’s about you realizing that there is no box!
Why attend this seminar? Combined, Pete, Dyches and Bill, have been investing in real estate for nearly 100 years – that’s a ton of real-world experience! If you want to learn how to do your deals better, if you want to be able to make the impossible deals possible, then this is your gotta-be-there-event!
We’re looking for serious real estate investors who are ready to move to the next level – who want to see what’s behind the curtain. Is this YOU? We only have 80 seats. When they’re gone, they’re gone…and they’ll be gone quickly! Read More→

“Pete Fortunato and Dyches Boddiford are our two favorite real estate investing teachers on earth. They have been our teachers since the late 1990’s. No one else has the know-how or experience to construct creative win-win deals like Pete and Dyches! At our first Pete seminar in 1999, he flashed a diagram of a house up on the screen.
