Capital, Control, & Cash Flow: The Art of Deal Structuring

with... Richard Fowler

Two investors can look at the same property, the same price and the same opportunity—and structure two very different deals. Sometimes the numbers aren't the problem. It's how the pieces fit together.

A good property doesn't automatically make a good deal.

The purchase price may get most of the attention, but real estate deals have a lot more moving parts than one number on a contract. Where the capital comes from, how the agreement is structured, who controls what, and what happens to the cash flow can all shape whether an opportunity actually makes sense.

And that's where deal structuring gets interesting.

Sometimes the question isn't simply “Is this a good deal?” It may be: Is there a better way to put this deal together?

What happens when an opportunity looks promising, but the obvious structure doesn't quite work? How might changing the arrangement change the economics of the deal? What should an investor be thinking about beyond purchase price when evaluating how all the pieces fit together?

Those are exactly the kinds of questions that make Capital, Control, & Cash Flow: The Art of Deal Structuring worth exploring.

Richard Fowler brings a particularly broad real-world perspective to the conversation. As founder of InvestWell Capital, LLC, he has more than a decade of experience across multifamily investing, self-storage and private lending, with a portfolio that includes $28 million in long-term rental holdings, $10 million in residential acquisitions and sales, and more than $3 million in private lending transactions. He is also an owner in two property-management companies—giving him experience not only putting deals together, but living with what happens after the paperwork is signed.

Whether you're evaluating your next acquisition, trying to move beyond the most obvious way of buying real estate, or simply realizing that “What am I paying?” may not be the only question worth asking, this is a conversation designed to get you thinking differently about the deal itself.
