EP 15: The Most Prolific Deal Maker in America with Peter Fortunato

A lot of folks like to claim that they are a great deal maker when it comes to doing Real Estate deals, especially Creative Finance deals. Most folks barely hold a candle to the blazing flame of Peter Fortunato's deal making skills yet he would never give himself this title. His skills have been honed many ways. He not only has been investing since 1965, but he has also attended a seminar a month since then. Even in his late 70s, he still is actively doing many deals a year and still attending/giving seminars. You simply must tune in to hear not only his stories but his philosophy around Real Estate. Many folks love to latch on to his deal structures to try to grasp them but what has been the greatest impact on Courtney has been the way he approaches Real Estate and how he approaches the people within the deals.

What an honor this was! Peter Fortunato is Courtney's main mentor and the greatest influence on her investing career. To interview him in his home was a great delight and something she deeply cherished.

Courtney and Pete cover many topics in their conversations but some you'll want to pay attention to are:

-how he transitioned his income from being a real estate agent to rent income and income from interest (notes)

-a fun secret was revealed: Pete shares what he majored in in college

-he shared the dreamer, starter, estate builder, and ender stages and his thoughts on what folks should do within each phase

-how he gets repeat and referral business and has never sent a postcard in his career

-the secret to how he finds everything he needs in his business

-he breaks down his Benefit House and what it means

-he gives case studies of various deals including one that has impacted him in the most(honestly, there's so much that we can't cover it all here!) -among other important conversation pieces

Courtney believes it is imperative that every investor learns from Pete at least once in their life. You can connect further with him at PeterFortunato.com. His classes are very practical and I believe that both new investors and very advanced investors can take away many lessons from attending them. His next class is in December where each year he teaches a class full of case studies that focuses on the paperwork and how it impacts deals. Find more information on his Paper Course on December 7-8th, 2024 and to connect with him further, visit his website at https://www.peterfortunato.com/.
