Start Investing in 2026: SW Washington’s First-Time Home Investor Workshop

Home Investor Workshop

Ready to Stop Missing Deals and Start Winning Them?



If you’ve ever asked yourself,
“Two buyers put in offers… why did one get the deal and the other didn’t?”
this class is for you.



This is our second investor meeting in an ongoing series focused on real-world deal structuring, strategy, and execution—not theory.



Join us for a 90-minute, high-impact session designed for first- and second-time investors who want to understand how deals actually get accepted in today’s market and how to position themselves as the strongest buyer in the room.



We’ll break down what sellers, agents, and lenders really care about, how financing structure changes outcomes, and how smart investors adjust their approach to win deals—even when they’re not the highest offer.



🔑 This Session Answers:

Why one buyer wins… and the other doesn’t.

If the deal only works at one interest rate, it’s not a deal — it’s a gamble.”

Price is emotional. Terms are logical. Smart sellers win on terms.

The lender you choose determines how many exits your deal has.
