📂 From Idea to Execution: How a Deal REALLY Gets Done
Most people think analyzing a deal stops at cap rates and rent rolls.
That’s rookie stuff.
Real investors know the profit is in the details:
💡 Seller motivation
💡 Creative financing
💡 Exit strategies
💡 Backup plans
That’s why I pulled together a real case study of a recent off-market multifamily deal done by one of our students in Oakland, CA—so you can see exactly how a deal moves from first look → to strategy → to execution.
Here’s the journey:
1️⃣ Found an off-market property priced at $3.5–$3.9M
2️⃣ Dug into seller motivation and structured creative terms
3️⃣ Built not just one plan, but TWO (flip to a nonprofit buyer or convert to long-term rental)
4️⃣ Lined it up to show capital partners a projected 45% ROI in 4–6 months (~50% annualized)
This is how pros take a single deal and turn it into multiple winning paths.
This is how you pitch confidently, protect yourself with backups, and lock in the kind of ROI that changes your life.
If you want the full step-by-step case study and see exactly how we executed this deal, drop CASE in the comments and I’ll send it your way.
Let’s make sure you’re not just looking at deals—you’re executing them.
