Ask better questions NOW
One of the biggest mistakes I see newbies make is thinking: 👉 “I need to chase every deal.” You don’t. In commercial real estate, your edge comes from asking better questions, faster. At a high level, every deal gets filtered by: 1️⃣ Is the seller motivated or flexible? 2️⃣ Can this property cash flow (now or with a clear path)? 3️⃣ Is there equity through price or terms? If the answer is no across the board — it’s not a failure. It’s a filter working exactly as it should. The pros don’t win because they chase more. They win because they eliminate faster. That’s how momentum is built without burnout. Want my guide on what you need to know BEFORE you chase the deal? Drop Chase in the comments and I’ll send it over.

@Paul Thompson Thanks!
Minnesota Multi Family Asset to Consider...
Getting into the habit of placing deals before the group. Just got off a call with an agent who reached out to me on a deal I was looking at on Crexi. We have a 12 unit, fully occupied, multi family asset located in Minnesota. The listing is at $770K with a $63k NOI so roughly a 8.2% cap rate. The asset was renovated in '24 and the seller owns it free and clear, so no debt. The seller is relocating to Nebraska from Minneapolis and won't be able to manage it as closely as before. Property Management will remain in place. Owner may consider seller financing or all cash offer. Do we like the price?

THIS always trips people up (And what it really means)
Let’s clear up one of the most misunderstood moments in commercial real estate 👇 When a broker or seller asks for Proof of Funds, most new investors panic. Here’s what they think it means: ❌ “Show me all your money” ❌ “Prove you’re rich” ❌ “You don’t belong here unless you have cash” Here’s what it actually means: 👉 “Can this deal realistically get to the finish line?” In commercial real estate, deals are rarely bought with one person’s cash. They’re closed with: • Private investors • Lenders • Partnerships • Creative structures Your job isn’t to be the money. Your job is to structure the deal and assemble the capital. Understanding that shift is a huge confidence unlock. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by that question — you’re not alone. And it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. Want a little boost to your confidence? Download the guide and drop your top takeaway in the comments.

Key takeaways- knowledge is leverage. Leadership is leverage. Taking someone to a place or helping them See something ( creative deal structure and financing) they ordinarily wouldn’t on their own is leadership. Neutralizing proof of funds requests by demonstrating our Modus Operandi creates leverage and shifts the play or pass power dynamic from the seller to you.

DEAL STRUCTURING CHEAT CODE: The 3-Offer Strategy 🚀
Most wholesalers lose deals because they only show up with one offer. Big mistake. Sellers aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some want speed. Some want cash flow. Some just want to feel like they “won.” That’s why the 3-Offer Strategy works like magic. Here’s the breakdown: 💥 Offer 1: All Cash, Quick Exit Your “shock” anchor. Even if the seller says no, it sets the stage for your other offers to look way better. 📈 Offer 2: Owner Financing with Interest The steady, middle-ground deal. Sellers often grab this one because it feels safe and profitable. 🔥 Offer 3: Owner Financing with No Interest (Principal Only) The wildcard. Sellers love it because they still get “their price,” even if you’re not paying interest. This one wins more often than you’d think. The trick? You don’t know which offer will hit until you lay all three on the table. That’s why this strategy closes more deals—and makes you stand out as a pro. 👉 I put together a guide for just you: The Three Offer Strategy Guide. It walks you through exactly how to structure each offer, when to use them, and why this method can unlock deals other wholesalers walk right past. Want a copy? Drop OFFER in the comments and I will send it your way.

Love the approach. From a risk management and wealth planning perspective, we were also introduced to a similar onboarding and client cultivation strategy. We present an approach specific to affordability with limited offerings, another with moderate options and a third with a more robust and comprehensive planning strategy. The psychology of the question “which works best for you?” Always appealed to me and suggests an approach that provides the comfort of varied selection tailored to risk tolerance and affordability.
