Eli Fisher spent 22 years building startups before he ever touched real estate.

Then he spent 5 years consulting investors with AI-powered predictive data, watching exactly which deals closed, which ones slipped away, and why.

Now as Managing Director at The Collective Genius, he uses that same data-driven lens to help 700+ members nationwide stop guessing and start scaling.

And what he's found in the data will make most investors uncomfortable.

Everyone chasing motivated sellers is chasing the wrong thing.

Pre-foreclosures, probates, the so-called motivated seller goldmine.

Less than 1% of total investor transactions.

While everyone fights over the same shrinking pool of leads, the top operators are quietly sitting on millions of dollars in deals already in their CRM.

Eli pulled up one member's data and showed him five deals flagged as follow-up stage that had already sold to a competitor.

For less than he offered.

The problem was never the leads, it was the mindset.

Hustle doesn't scale but systems do.

Eli Fisher, Managing Director at The Collective Genius, breaks it all down on the We Buy Ugly Houses Podcast.

Most people in this industry talk about building a business. These 3 have built several.

At CG Premier in Oceanside June 8-10, the CEO Member Panel brings together operators and entrepreneurs who've been at the highest level of business long enough to know what actually matters and what's just noise.

JASON PRITCHARD:
Founder of Pinnacle Home Buyers. 200+ deals/yr in California. Left corporate America after 15 years in 2014 to bet on himself. Personally led the purchase of 500+ homes across the Central Valley.

CASEY RYAN:
Founder of Alchemy Investments. 200+ deals/yr out of Las Vegas. Built one of Nevada's most recognized real estate operations in one of the country's most competitive investor markets.

KELLI GARRETT:
CG Legacy Member and serial entrepreneur since 2000. Founded and sold companies across candy manufacturing, transportation, convenience stores, mortgage, and appraisal. Owns multifamily, residential, and commercial real estate across nearly 20 years of investing.

HERE'S WHY THIS PANEL IS DIFFERENT:

- Jason and Casey are doing 200+ deals/yr each in two of the most expensive, competitive markets in the country.

- Kelli has built and SOLD multiple companies across completely different industries and has been deploying capital in real estate for two decades.

Together they represent something rare: operators who've won at high volume AND built businesses with real enterprise value.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Most real estate operators are building a job with a high income.

Jason, Casey, and Kelli are building businesses with lasting value.

The difference isn't just deal volume. It's how you think about team, capital, systems, and legacy; and those are exactly the conversations this panel is designed to have.

They're not here with polished answers. They're here to have the real conversation about what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

You're getting perspective from entrepreneurs who've already made the moves you're considering.

Most investors treat their local bank like a last resort.

Marck De Lautour treats his like a growth partner.

After 1,100+ flips in Kansas City, he knows the difference it makes.

At CG Premier in Oceanside June 8-10, Marck is breaking down how to position yourself with local banks to fund renovations faster, cheaper, and with less friction than most investors think is possible.

This is about becoming the kind of investor local banks WANT to do business with and what that relationship unlocks at scale.

MARCK DE LAUTOUR:
CEO of SBD Housing Solutions. Kansas City, MO. 200+ deals/yr. Over 1,100 homes flipped in the KC metro since 2002. Built a vertically integrated operation that purchases, renovates, and manages properties all under one roof.

When you've done 1,100+ renovations, you figure out pretty quickly that your banking relationships determine how fast and how profitably you can scale.

HERE'S WHAT MOST OPERATORS GET WRONG WITH LOCAL BANKS:

→ They don't understand what local banks actually look for when evaluating renovation borrowers
→ They're using hard money for everything when local bank relationships could dramatically reduce their cost of capital
→ They treat every deal as a transaction instead of building a relationship that compounds over time

WHAT MARCK COVERS IN THIS PRESENTATION:

How to structure your financials and business presentation so local banks see you as a low-risk, high-value partner.

How Marck's relationships with local banks have allowed him to scale past 200 deals/yr. in a single market without being held hostage by hard money rates.

The difference between investors who constantly fight for capital and operators who have more available than they can deploy.

WHY THIS MATTERS AT SCALE:

Every percentage point in cost of capital matters when you're doing serious renovation volume.

The operators scaling past 100, 150, 200+ deals/yr aren't just better at finding deals. They're better at funding them cheaply and consistently.

Dek Bake does 100+ deals/yr in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

He didn't start with a huge marketing budget or a ton of resources.

He's calm. Calculated. Lets relationships happen organically instead of forcing them.

That approach didn't come from a real estate guru.

It came from the NFL.

Dek won a ring with the New York Giants in 2008.

Then his career ended. Broken and dislocated foot in Canada while trying to get back.

Sitting in a freezing apartment, not playing, not making money.

That's when he realized it was time to move on.

Linked up with what's now the largest wholesaler in the nation and fell in love with acquisitions and wholesale. That was 18 years ago.

How did an undrafted free agent apply NFL discipline to close 2,500 wholesale deals in California?
