The OPM Advantage

Every successful business, every big property deal you read about in the papers, and every billion-dollar unicorn shares one common thread: Other People’s Money.

Banks. Investors. Sellers. Institutions. Programs. Partnerships.

Wealth builders understand this. Tyler G. Hicks spent a lifetime explaining it. The OPM Advantage brings that understanding together in one powerful, practical book.

101 WAYS YOU CAN GET MONEY FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND REAL ESTATE DEALS

The OPM Advantage lays out more than 101 real ways to secure 100% and even 100+% financing for businesses and real estate ventures. Many of these approaches provide working capital at the same time ownership changes hands. These are methods used in everyday transactions by people who know how to assemble capital rather than wait for it.

Each chapter focuses on how deals actually move forward — in banks, across conference tables, through contracts, and inside institutions that fund opportunity.

WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, THE TEACHER APPEARS

Inside The OPM Advantage, you’ll learn how to:

acquire businesses and properties using leverage
combine multiple financing sources into one deal
use seller participation to your advantage
turn appraisals, leases, contracts, and credit into funding
present opportunities lenders and investors respond to
move from idea to ownership with confidence

This is hands-on knowledge meant to be applied.

STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT MONEY

Tyler G. Hicks writes plainly and directly. He explains how lenders think, how investors evaluate opportunity, and how deals gain momentum. The focus stays on preparation, presentation, and positioning — the factors that attract capital again and again.

You’ll encounter approaches involving commercial credit, compensating balances, cosigners, inventory financing, municipal bonds, pension funds, overseas lending, factoring, and dozens more — all explained in language that respects the reader.

A LEGACY BUILT ON OPPORTUNITY

Tyler G. Hicks founded International Wealth Success in 1966 to share the tools and thinking used by successful entrepreneurs. The OPM Advantage stands as one of the clearest expressions of that mission.

This book speaks to:

• beginning wealth builders making their first serious move

• experienced builders expanding reach and scale

• advanced builders refining strategy and control

The principles apply across industries, markets, and decades.

STEP INTO THE FLOW OF CAPITAL

Opportunity surrounds those who recognize it.


Money moves toward preparation.
Ownership follows structure.
Progress rewards action.

The OPM Advantage shows how to step into that current and move forward with purpose. The deals are happening. This book shows how they come together so you can use OPM to move forward boldly.
