Unlock the art of deal-making with one of the most respected minds in the business! Wendy Patton—nearly 40 years deep into her real estate investing journey—has mastered the power of creative deal structuring, and she’s bringing her best insights to this special event.

Wendy will pull back the curtain on innovative strategies she’s used in her own portfolio, along with real deals she’s helped other investors close. From problem-solving to profit-building, you’ll see exactly how she approaches opportunities from all angles. Ever wondered what to do when you’re short on cash… or your credit isn’t picture-perfect… or the deal just feels out of reach? Wendy will show you how thinking differently can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

But that’s not all—Wendy will also be diving into key issues for real estate investors, a powerful topic focused on the areas every investor needs to “clean up.” Drawing from decades of hands-on experience in both investing and lending, she’ll reveal the traits that can build or break an investor’s financial future—and even impact their personal life. She isn’t holding back. Wendy will share her own hard-earned lessons, missteps, and breakthroughs so you can avoid the pitfalls, tighten up your systems, and grow with confidence.

If you want to expand your toolbox, strengthen your business, and structure deals that create wins for everyone involved—this is a night you won’t want to miss.
