Welcome to our new show, Investor Creator's Deals! I'm Brad Smotherman, a real estate investor based out of Nashville, Tennessee. I've recently moved to Seaside, Florida, because this business has allowed me and my family financial and time freedom, so that we can home school and take care of our children. I got into the educating people on real estate because I didn't like what I saw in the industry - constant upsell and often outdated information. I wanted to teach in the way that I enjoyed, and to teach processes that can be replicated. So over the past three years, we've had many people going from startup through struggle to success in just six months. We're going to be bringing you two to three deals every week from different people, from all across the country, all walks of life, different races, color, creeds, different everything. These episodes are going to be about a single deal with one seller. Where did that lead come from? What did the negotiation look like? What did that deal structure look like? What was the profit? What challenges did you have? What did you learn from them? What would you potentially do differently? You'll get action steps that you can implement into your business, and you're going to see that success in real estate investing is possible for anyone.

On this episode of Mentors Collective: CEO Interviews, host Jay Feldman sits down with real estate investor Brad Smotherman. Brad believes in taking a holistic approach to real estate investing and stresses the importance of adapting strategies based on each specific deal, avoiding the use of blanket terms like "always" and "never." He specializes in creative financing, such as taking over payments on a loan without qualifying for it, and focuses on buying properties and selling them with owner financing, which he considers to be a recession-proof strategy. Brad emphasizes that owner financing allows for easier acquisition of good assets during a recession and expands the potential buyer pool. He successfully applied this strategy from 2010 to 2014, buying creatively and selling with owner financing. By creating notes instead of traditional rentals, he avoids overhead costs and management difficulties, making it a scalable model. Brad compares the profitability and scalability of the owner financing model to that of major finance companies. In his journey as a real estate investor, Brad was mentored by a builder developer who taught him about investing in real estate, sharing both successes and the bankruptcy experience in 2009. This mentor's ability to have both money and time inspired Brad to pursue real estate investment. He retired his real estate license in 2010 to focus solely on investing. During the discussion, Brad also shares his expertise in generating leads for real estate businesses. He discusses the importance of understanding the value of leads, conversion rates, and various marketing methods like digital advertising and direct mail. He highlights the significance of being found by potential customers through optimization and conversion-focused website design. Mentoring others has been a major passion for Brad, and he finds more excitement in his mentees' success than his own deals. He believes in giving back and bringing people along, inspired by a generous individual named Howard Wall. Brad's ultimate goal is to be in a position where people are approaching him to buy rather than the other way around. The episode concludes with Brad discussing the importance of understanding keywords, marketing strategies, negotiation skills, deal structure, and solving problems in the real estate business. With motivated seller lead flow, effective negotiation, and solid deal structure, one can achieve success and enjoy the time and financial freedom that real estate offers.

A couple of years ago, we had an episode about dealing with divorce as one of the five big motivators that we see in deal flows. This time we're taking a lighter tone and talking about the best way of working with your spouse.   My guest is my wife Casey, who joined me in business a couple of years ago. We are sharing our experiences of working together, the best parts, the challenging parts, and most importantly, advice for those who may be running into one of the biggest business roadblocks - an unsupportive spouse.  What We Cover: - What made Casey transition from teaching into real estate - The concerns Casey and Brad had before starting to work together - How spouses can prevent their business to take over their marriage - The importance of setting common goals for business and life - The best and the worst parts of working together - What to do if you are starting out in business and you have an unsupportive spouse Not every couple needs to work together, and that is perfectly fine. However, if you decide to work with your spouse, be ready to commit to common goals so you can thrive in business and stay married. If you are dealing with an unsupportive spouse, often the turning point is closing your first deal. But if the lack of support persists, you'll need to make a decision on how far you will take it and what that commitment is.

This is my 3am insomnia driven stab at #1 problem I see in the real estate business.  Every business model has its strengths and its weaknesses. The biggest problem in the real estate business is the wrong idea of allocation of resources.  A lot of real estate investors I see are sold the dream of making great deals without putting in resources.  But the resources I'm thinking about are not some insane amounts of cash.

In this episode I want to talk about trusts and the due-on-sale clause. In my private coaching group, a lot of people ask if they should put property into a trust to mitigate the risk of due-on-sale provision. So here’s my take on it.  What We Cover:  What is a trust - definition What is due-on-sale clause and its origins Cases in which due-on-sale clause might be violated The risks of putting a property into a trust What I prefer to do in terms of due-on-sale provision How to mitigate the risk if you have owner financing property Applying the substance over form doctrine in your deals  The due-on-sale provision is just not as mean and scary as it sounds. I've not found it to be a big risk factor in what we do. But I'm really against the deal structures that don't make sense, so just keep things clean and simple.   Interested in real estate investing?

Brad Smotherman – Real Estate Investor from BradSmotherman.com and host of the Investor Creator podcast, talks to Neil Henderson, the hosts of The Road to Family Freedom podcast. Brad is an investor and mentor who owns and manages a 7-figure per year flipping business. His focus is on buying single-family flips creatively, both subject-to and with owner financing…and selling retail or with owner financing (creating wrap notes). With 11 years in the real estate business, Brad has invested in over 15 states, has houses from Michigan to Georgia, and has completed over 550 transactions to date. Brad is the host of the top 100 business podcast Investor Creator, where he teaches new and seasoned real estate investors how to take their house flipping business to multiple 6 or 7 figure income without sacrificing freedom. Post-Interview Analysis  Key Lessons Learned: It’s possible to create equity using terms, just like there is using rehab to force equity in a BRRRR. Example: Acquire a property “subject to” the existing $175,000 mortgage. Selling that property using owner finance for $220,000. He’s just created $45,000 in equity using the terms.  How did they acquire their knowledge or what knowledge did they need to acquire? The mindset is key. You are going to hear a lot of “No’s” in this business. Developing a mindset that this is largely a numbers game and that eventually, you will hear a “Yes” is key. How much money did it take to get started? Zero! With a caveat. The most effective way to find these deals is with direct mail marketing, and that takes money. His first big marketing spend was $15,000. How much time does it take now? It’s very difficult to put a number on the amount of time this strategy takes, but I would say to do it effectively you would need at least 20 hours per week to devote to it. Less if you were able to build a team, but that is true for nearly every strategy. Could they do this strategy from anywhere in the world? Yes, IF you had a team on the ground in the market you were targeting. You are going to almost certainly have to have someone meet face-to-face with these sellers. Episode Highlights:  Schedule a video chat with Neil Henderson at roadtofamilyfreedom.com/selfstoragecall (https://www.roadtofamilyfreedom.com/selfstoragecall/) The long struggle to acquire his first real estate deal The structure of buying a property “subject to” the existing mortgage and then selling it owner finance.

Earlier, I was cheap on my marketing side. I looked at marketing as an expense as opposed to an investment, and now I know that it’s not. That’s the one thing I can’t spend money too much money on is the marketing that’s efficient.” – Brad Smotherman “Fill your mind with positive material, whether that’s books, podcasts, generally inspirational movies.  It even came to the point that I would fast from any traditional music. At the end of the day, we have to be cognizant of what’s around us than what we’re allowing you to remove it.” – Brad Smotherman “Find a mentor that has been down the road that you want to go.  If I hadn’t had my mentor, I’d never have accomplished what I’ve accomplished. They can take years off your learning curve, and not only that, you’re going to avoid a lot of the mistakes you would have made, which is just as important, if not more.” – Brad Smotherman “Everything starts with a motivated seller. So, if we’re able to create motivated seller lead flow, then we can figure out what direction we want to take, whether you want to be a rental guy or do you want to be a note guy, or you want to be the flip person or, or whatever that is. We have to have motivated sellers. So, learn how to lead generate.” – Brad Smotherman Connect with Brad Smotherman: Listen to Brad’s podcast bradsmotherman.com  Facebook Connect with Dave Dubeau: Property Profits Podcast www.davedubeau.com www.investorattractiondemo.com Facebook LinkedIn Enjoyed the Podcast?

Deal Shredders had a great time hanging out with Brad Smotherman and hearing all about how deal structure is more important than purchase price, how he cares more about equity than monthly cash flow and so much more! A Little Advice from Brad: Don't deal with bank financing, use private money. Equity first, cash flow second. Brad's Owner Financing World: I am not interested in your credit score. We look at what your cash situation is. You have to have a strong down payment. We also look if people have a strong cash reserve- are able to keep up with payments. Lastly we make sure they can afford the payment, does the payment makes sense based off income. Interest Rate Arbitrage is the practice of using favorable interest rate differentials to invest in a higher-yielding currency, and hedging the exchange risk through a forward currency contract A lien is a notice attached to your property telling the world that a creditor claims you owe it some money. A lien is typically a public record. Liens in real estate are a common way for creditors to collect what they are owed.
