In this episode, we talk to Greg Pinneo. Learn why 2023 is a season of extreme opportunity. There's a lot of anxiety right now on the part of anybody thinking they wanted to make a transition, they wanted to sell this, but the market has left them. All that means are we have a greater listening audience than we may have had a year ago. The bottom line is that when that momentum exists, you accompany that momentum with A, knowing what you want, and B, a toolbox of proposals of how you can go about buying this in a way that might be different than how most people go about it. Think creative deal structuring like owner carry.
Learn why real estate entrepreneurial acquisition and finance is a study that is never-ending and critical to have a toolbox. Great real estate entrepreneurs are, are a student first and foremost. Deal structuring is reverse engineering with what you're buying, a way that you can figure out how to do this. Employing the principles of leverage using very little of your own capital and creating a long-term hold acquisition.
Learn why you always want to involve the seller in financing and how to structure true win-win proposals that offer control, predictability, and deferral of capital gain. You're giving them all kinds of things in a package they're not getting in many places. At the same time, from an entrepreneurial acquisition standpoint, it allows you to build and build and build and build and build and build and build your portfolio.
Learn what to focus on in this market. One of the deals structuring your proposition and your deal structure has to have a holding plan. And if it does have a sell plan to it, that sell plan has to be. Well thought out. But overall, take to sell out of the equation during these times, and look to control property and buy a property that serves you long term. This incredible interview discusses everything from real estate finance to left-brain and right-brain balance in real estate acquisition, the value of adversity, and so much more.

Put these ingredients into a blender, and what do you get?
-Hyperinflation
-Climbing interest rates
-Falling values
-Increased days on market
-Post Covid tenant leverage
-Entitlement and supply chain delays

In this episode, we dive into the super creative lease option strategy you've probably never heard of! We get creative, chat with Jessie Mills, and learn how investors make hybrid investments (aka "Slow Flips") by connecting them with tenant buyers! It's a two to three-year play typically. So it's not a quick flip—the benefits of being a landlord and a flipper rehabber without many headaches. And for an investor, it's a killer way to get investment properties as low as five to 10% down instead of the traditional 20 or 25% down.
Learn What these rent-to-own style deals look like, simplifying what the transaction would be like if it were a cup of coffee! All about making deals happen (and creating a win-win-win) by connecting investors with people looking to buy a home but can't get a traditional loan. We talk about how to attract leads for interested home buyers and investors and how realtors can help more people get into homes by using creative financing options like this!

Our guest today is Jeff Stephens, the Founder of The Thoughtful Real Estate Entrepreneur (TREE). He's an expert in seller financing and direct seller relations. We unpack the difference between a real estate investor and a real estate entrepreneur, hint: it's more about creating opportunity. When you find the right strategy at the intersection of head and heart in a real estate investment strategy, it just feels right. For me, that's off-market deals and owner financing.
We dive in and unpack why we love seller financing, or "installment loans." While it's always been available with the current market adjustments and high-interest rates, sellers are more open to hearing about it. We chat about the benefits of seller financing and how when you buy off-market properties direct from sellers, you get the financing and property and can tailor a deal that is a true win-win for the seller and buyer.
We cover marketing strategies and how old-school letters are the best way to find off-market deals. We chat about why this marketing strategy is true to hearts and positions you to have conversations directly with sellers. Learn how to feel comfortable talking to sellers directly. Jeff's advice: analyze fewer deals and talk to more people!
