FREE LIVE WORKSHOP: Acquire Real Estate & Business
STOP WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE DO DEALS. START LEARNING HOW TO DO YOUR OWN! ๐ฏ
FREE LIVE EQUITY CARRY ACADEMY WORKSHOP
Every Saturday | 3:00 PM Pacific | 45 Minutes | Live on Zoom
Let me ask you something...
Have you ever looked at an apartment building, hotel, self-storage facility, or established business and thought:
"I'd love to own something like that... but where in the world would I find the money?"
Well, my friend, welcome to the conversation! ๐
I'm Steven Glaude, Founder of Equity Carry Group and Equity Carry Academy, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, California real estate broker, and acquisition entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience.
My real estate background includes:
334 residential doors under management
More than 1,500 self-storage units
Relationships across a network of 50+ private equity firms and 400+ family offices
Experience evaluating and negotiating acquisitions involving multifamily properties, hotels, self-storage, service businesses, and commercial real estate
And here's what I've learned:
Finding a deal is one skill. Understanding the numbers is another. But knowing how to STRUCTURE the acquisition? That's where things get really interesting.
๐ WELCOME TO THE EQUITY CARRY METHOD
At Equity Carry Academy, we teach investors and aspiring acquisition professionals how to think beyond traditional financing.
We explore creative structures involving institutional lending, seller financing, preferred equity, subordinate liens, and negotiated capital stacks.
Our philosophy is simple:
"We pay price. We need structure."
Sometimes the difference between an opportunity that doesn't work and one worth pursuing isn't just the purchase price.
It's the financing, the cash flow, the seller's objectives, the risk allocation, and the structure of the transaction.
And yes, sometimes the right answer is to walk away!
๐ HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN OUR LIVE WORKSHOP
๐ฏ 1. HOW TO FIND REAL ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES
Explore ways to identify multifamily properties, self-storage facilities, hospitality assets, and established businesses that may be suitable for acquisition.
๐ฐ 2. HOW TO EVALUATE A DEAL BEFORE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH IT
We'll discuss income, expenses, net operating income, EBITDA, cash flow, capitalization rates, and the importance of establishing a defensible purchase price.
Because a beautiful property with terrible numbers is still a terrible investment!
๐ค 3. HOW CREATIVE FINANCING CAN CHANGE THE CONVERSATION
Discover how buyers and sellers may negotiate financing arrangements that address both parties' objectives.
We'll introduce the Equity Carry Method and explain why seller-carried equity, institutional financing, and thoughtful deal structuring deserve a place in your acquisition toolkit.
๐ฆ 4. WHY RELATIONSHIPS MATTER IN THE ACQUISITION BUSINESS
One of the most important lessons I've learned is that you don't build a scalable acquisition business entirely by yourself.
We'll discuss how relationships with lenders, private equity firms, family offices, brokers, operators, and acquisition professionals can create opportunities for collaboration.
My own network includes relationships with more than 50 private equity firms and 400 family offices. I'll share how I approach building those relationships, presenting opportunities, and earning credibility.
Access to any particular investor or financing source is not guaranteedโbut learning how to build your own network can be incredibly valuable.
๐ 5. REAL DEALS. REAL NUMBERS. REAL NEGOTIATIONS.
We're not just discussing hypothetical transactions.
I'll draw from actual acquisition scenarios, offer negotiations, underwriting decisions, and lessons from the field.
Some opportunities advance. Some get countered. Some get rejected.
And every one of them can teach us something.
๐ค 6. LIVE Q&A WITH STEVEN
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe even a deal you've been trying to figure out.
No question is too basic, and nobody needs to pretend they were born knowing what a DSCR loan is!
๐ฅ WHY JOIN EQUITY CARRY ACADEMY?
Because you deserve more than another collection of motivational quotes and recycled internet advice.
We're building a community focused on developing practical acquisition skills, professional relationships, and the confidence to evaluate opportunities intelligently.
Whether your goal is to become a wholesaler, acquisition manager, operator, or eventual owner, there's a path worth exploring.
Our development philosophy: Wholesaler โ Acquisition Manager โ Operator โ Owner.
And if you've ever wanted to learn directly from someone actively pursuing acquisitions rather than just talking about them, this is your invitation.
I'll bring the experience, the examples, the energy, and occasionally a few Marine Corps stories.
You bring the willingness to learn and take action.
No push-ups required. At least not during the first workshop! ๐
๐ YOUR FREE WORKSHOP BONUS
We'll introduce the Equity Carry Deal Screening Scorecard, designed to help you begin evaluating acquisition opportunities with greater discipline.
