The Dealpen
I'm your host, Avi Rasowsky, and I’m excited to introduce you to this podcast!
This is your backstage pass to hear untold stories from crafty real estate investors. As a former bullpen pitcher, turned real estate investor, I’ll be sharing some of the similarities between sitting in the bullpen, waiting for that high-pressure moment to come into a baseball game, to now, waiting for my chance to dive into complex real estate deals.
But more importantly, we’ll be learning from a wide range of experienced, knowledgeable, and relentless real estate investors who don’t know the meaning of giving up when a deal gets to be challenging.
In The Dealpen, we'll explore some of the most difficult barriers to getting deals done, and how to overcome them with creative methods. We’ll be diving into foreclosures in the bottom of the ninth inning, messy title situations, complex probate issues, financing, and everything in between.
But here's the pitch: real estate and baseball? They're more alike than you think. Both require strategy, teamwork, and learning from others' experiences.
Just like in the bullpen, where teammates might share notes on how to face specific batters in crucial game situations, here in The Dealpen, we'll share insights from investors who are flipping houses, renting out properties, creating owner finance notes, and much more. We’ll also chat with private lenders, attorneys, and other professionals who will help you navigate the wonderful world of off market deals. Because in real estate, something always goes wrong. But with insights from our guests, we'll learn how to tackle those curveballs together.
So, grab those headphones and join me in The Dealpen, and let’s build wealth, one deal at a time!

QUOTES
- “I think that one thing that's worked for me is sticking through something. And when things get hard, I kind of like start getting this tunnel vision of focusing in on what do I do to save this deal before it falls apart.” - Chad Bonawitz
- “For everybody listening, I hope you hear me talk about the lives that were changed and the people that are impacted through the whole thing all the way from buyers to sellers more than the numbers. Numbers matter. We want to make money, we have to make money but Think about the five capitals.” - Chad Bonawitz
- “There's a lot of opportunity and realtors know sometimes owner finance buyers are looking. People are looking and they can't get a bank loan. So if you can tap into those networks and obviously pay a fair commission to the realtors to do that, there's definitely an opportunity there.” - Avi Rasowsky
