Real Estate on Your Terms (Revised Edition): Create Continuous Cash Flow Now, Without Using Your Cash or Credit

Your career is in real estate, or maybe you’re looking to invest. That means you know the general consensus: The real estate market is unpredictable; therefore, your income has to be. You’re at the mercy of the economy and the bank.

What if that’s not the truth? What if you had the tools, know-how, and been there-done-that experience from an industry veteran on how to hedge your cash from the market? What if real estate was on your terms?

Good news? All of this is achievable by creating a “money machine” rather than a per-deal operating system. And in Real Estate on Your Terms, Chris Prefontaine shares the following with you:

Hope from stories – “If he did, I can”!
How to buy two-plus homes monthly without using your own cash or credit
Strategies for structured, continuous cash flow and wealth building

Sell with Authority for Real Estate Investors: Your Road Map to Defining It, Earning It, and Monetizing It!

We’re entering the era of The Authority. While you may already be sick of the phrase thought leader, the truth is there aren’t that many of them in our industry. Thought leaders don’t write content that any other real estate investor could claim. Thought leaders don’t write about anything and everything. Thought leaders also don’t compete on price.

And their time is now.

Deal Structure Overtime: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Exposed

In early 2018, we started a weekly series on our Smart Real Estate Coach YouTube channel called Deal Structure Sundays. The goal of these videos was to help aspiring real estate investors understand a bit more of the terms niche that might be difficult to grasp without some real world examples. As years went by and the world got more complicated, so did our transactions; terms got lengthier, new-and-exciting pivots were introduced, life events happened, and solutions were created. So, we decided to expand these lessons into a course called Deal Structure Overtime. As a part of our Wicked Smart Academy, students will be able to dive deeper into the stories behind these deals, blemishes-and-all. Each one is chock full of all the nuts-and-bolts, true-to-life stories that make up the day-to-day of our real estate investment business.

This book is a taste of what those videos are like. We have transcripts from 8 different deals, edited only for fluidity and readability, that highlight some basic deals and some more advanced deals with Associates from our Wicked Smart Community. We’ve found that your constant exposure to these conversations will put you into action, which starts to create results, which builds your confidence, certainty, and belief, up-leveling your potential — and the cycle continues. So, dive in, pore over the numbers, and then try your hand at starting your own real estate investment business.
