Each year, we pride ourselves on bringing you engaging, entertaining, and enlightening content that delivers real value. The lineup in 2026 is no different. When you consider our Trademarked 3 Paydays® per deal running $45,000 to $350,000 per deal, the stakes are simply too high for you not to attend.
This Is Not a Pitch-Fest Event
Many real estate events leave attendees with motivation, notes, and a list of things to buy next.
3 Paydays® Live is built differently.
There are no outside speakers selling from the stage.
The goal is simple:
You leave with clarity.
The focus is on helping you understand how terms deals actually work:
How leads become conversations
How to diagnose the seller’s situation
How to choose the right structure
How the 3 Paydays® are created
How experienced investors think through deals in real time
How to move from theory to implementation
Built From Real Lessons, Not Theory
Chris Prefontaine created the 3 Paydays® model after learning hard lessons from the 2008 real estate crash. Before that, he had used traditional financing, personal guarantees, refinances, cash-outs, and market appreciation as part of his real estate strategy.
When the market changed, the risks became clear.
That experience shaped the rules behind Smart Real Estate Coach®:
Cash flow first.
Structure first.
Seller needs first.
No personal bank loans required.
Deals built to create multiple income opportunities, not just one transaction.
What Is the 3 Paydays® System?
Most investors are trained to think in one payday.
Buy low. Sell high. Move to the next deal.
The 3 Paydays® model is different.
Payday 1:
Cash Now
Get paid up front.
Paydays 2:
Monthly Cash Flow
Create recurring income over time.
Payday 3:
Long-Term Wealth
Build back-end profit when the deal cashes out.
One deal.
Three profit centers.
That is why structure matters.
Why Terms Deals Matter in Any Market
Traditional real estate investing often depends on things investors cannot fully control:
Bank approvals.
Interest rates.
Credit requirements.
Large down payments.
Market timing.
Instead of relying only on banks or price, investors learn how to structure deals around seller needs, buyer opportunities, and practical win-win terms.
That is why the 3 Paydays® model is built around structure, not speculation.
Is 3 Paydays® Live Right for You?
This event is for you if:
- You want to learn creative real estate without relying on banks, perfect credit, or large amounts of personal cash
- You want a practical system for structuring terms deals
- You want to understand lease-purchase, owner financing, and subject-to strategies more clearly
- You want real examples, real numbers, and real conversations
- You are willing to learn, take notes, ask questions, and implement
This event is not for you if:
- You are looking for a get-rich-quick promise
- You want to sit back and have someone do the work for you
- You are not willing to learn the process
- You want hype instead of structure
- You are looking for theory without implementation
What To Expect At The 3 Paydays® Live Event
3 Paydays® Live: No Gurus. No Fluff. Just the Proven System That Builds Wealth.
We'll show you—step-by-step—how deals are structured, negotiated, and closed without banks or perfect credit.
Real deals, real numbers, and exactly how the 3 Paydays® model creates multiple streams of income from one deal.
You'll learn what to say, how to structure offers, and how to think through deals in real time.
Hands-on workshops, extended Q&A, and more so you can actually do this—not just understand it.
You’ll hear from people who’ve recently closed deals and how they made it happen.
If you’re serious about replacing income and building long-term wealth, this is where it becomes real. Led by the Family Team who is in the trenches every day. No outside speakers.
Real Deals. Real Numbers. Real Structure.
At 3 Paydays® Live, we are not teaching creative real estate as a collection of random tactics.
We are showing how deals are structured from beginning to end.
That means walking through:
Seller conversations
Deal diagnosis
Offer structure
Terms
Cash now
Monthly cash flow
Back-end profit
Follow-up
Next steps
What You'll Understand More Clearly After 3 Paydays® Live
By the end of the event, you should better understand:
How the 3 Paydays® model creates multiple income opportunities from one deal
Why seller situation matters more than asking price alone
How to think through lease-purchase, owner financing, and subject-to opportunities
What to say in seller conversations
How to diagnose motivation, timeline, and flexibility
How experienced investors choose the right deal structure
Why terms deals can work without banks or perfect credit
How to move from scattered information to a clearer investing process
When investors see the full sequence, the process becomes much easier to understand.
What Makes a 3 Paydays® Deal Different?
Most traditional real estate deals are built around a single profit event.
A 3 Paydays® deal is structured to create multiple income opportunities:
Cash now from the initial structure.
Monthly cash flow during the term.
Back-end profit when the deal cashes out.
That is why the model is not just about finding properties.
It is about understanding seller needs, buyer opportunities, and the deal structure that connects them.
Hear from students just like you, coming from a myriad of backgrounds, who have changed their lives doing deals on terms (with none of their own cash or signing personally with a bank)
Why Investors Come Back Year After Year
3 Paydays® Live is not just about what happens on stage. It is also about who is in the room.
Attendees learn directly from the Smart Real Estate Coach® family team, certified coaches, and investors who are actively working through terms deals in the real world.

"There is no better system out there and no better group of real estate investors than Chris Prefontaine and his whole team at Wicked Smart Real Estate." - Scott C., Texas
"Why In-Person Still Matters"
"There’s something about meeting in person — you actually get to communicate, focus directly on their problems, and be able to see somebody face to face. You can’t always see their reactions on Zoom." - Adam S., Wisconsin

"If you really want to grow quickly, to develop the confidence to get to next levels, and to potentially change your life, this is the place to be.”- Jonathan E., New York
