A lot of homeowners feel stuck right now.
They want more space, a different layout, or a home that fits their life today, but their current mortgage rate makes moving feel impossible.
This webinar is for families who feel rate locked and unsure what options actually exist in a sellers market. The conversation will break down what’s real, what’s not, and what people often assume without ever running the numbers.
Laura Deutsch will host a guided conversation and be joined by a trusted partner and lending professional to walk through real life scenarios, answer common questions, and explain how different strategies can impact monthly payments.
Topics covered:
This is not about convincing anyone to move. It’s about clarity.

A Real Estate Opportunity On Your Own Terms
Join me on Thursday, October 16th for an informative webinar where I’ll introduce a unique side hustle within the real estate world. It’s something you can start slowly now, fit around your current schedule, and later scale into something bigger if and when the timing is right.
(And FYI- you don’t have to work full time to do this and it’s not about flipping homes!)
This opportunity is designed to be flexible, simple to begin, and full of earning potential. You’ll be working directly with me, and I’ll guide you every step of the way so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
This could be a great fit if one or more of the following resonate with you:
✅ Like the idea of passive income in real estate without becoming a full-time agent
✅ Are well connected in your community and/or or know a lot of people
✅ Are active on social media (or open to starting)
✅ Want a side hustle that can stay small or grow bigger depending on your goals
✅ Have an interest in real estate
There’s minimal upfront cost, no pressure to go all in (unless you choose to), and plenty of potential to turn your strengths into income.
If you’ve been looking for a flexible side hustle that can grow with you, this is your chance to see how real estate can open the door.
Event Details:
Date: Thursday, October 16th 8:00 – 9:00 PM
Place: Online (Link will be provided upon registration)
Cost: Free
