Half-Day Workshop with Scot Poirier
Creative Financing for Todayâs Market
A Half-Day Workshop with Scot Poirier
Saturday, May 2 | 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM
If youâve ever had the feeling there has to be more to real estate than just chasing the next listing, the next commission, or the next conventional deal, youâre not wrong.
Most people are taught to look at real estate through a narrow lens. They learn how to work transactions. But they never really learn how to see the deeper opportunity that can lead to ownership, structure, and long-term wealth.
That is why creative financing matters.
It gives you a different way to look at deals, a different way to think about seller situations, and a different way to recognize opportunity that many people miss.
In this half-day workshop, Scot Poirier will walk through why creative financing is the better move in todayâs market and help make sense of the strategies, terms, and structures that often feel confusing from the outside.
Hereâs some of what heâll cover:
⢠Why the traditional way of looking at deals causes people to miss bigger opportunities
⢠How creative financing can turn what looks like a transaction into a wealth-building opportunity
⢠Why structure matters more than most people realize
⢠How wealth can be built without dragging new debt into every deal
⢠Why so many people hear terms like subject-to, seller financing, and lease options and still never connect the dots
If youâve been sensing there is a smarter way to approach this business, this workshop will help you see what that looks like.

Most investors are guessing when they analyze deals.
They pull a few comps⌠estimate rents, analyze a rehab⌠and hope it works.
But appraisers donât guess.
They follow a system.
And once you understand how they think, everything changes.
At this Boston AREIA meeting, Danyl Collings will break down how to analyze deals like an appraiser so you can:
- Choose the right comps (and avoid costly mistakes)
- Accurately determine ARV
- Understand true value vs. list price
- Analyze deals with confidenceâbefore you ever make an offer
No fluff.
No overcomplicated spreadsheets.
Just a clear, practical framework you can actually use.
Perfect if:
- Youâre just getting started
- Youâve done a few deals but want tighter numbers
- Youâre tired of second-guessing your analysis
Because the difference between a good deal and a bad oneâŚ
is how well you understand the numbers.
