Podcasts about Creative financing

Tommy Mello hosts a Super Bowl day episode of The Home Service Expert with Ismael Valdez, founder of VE and NextGen (Anaheim), discussing how to scale home service businesses through disciplined marketing, sales process mastery, and operational execution. Ishmael explains how he would evaluate investing in a $20M company by first assessing the energy and leadership of the C-suite/upper management, then reviewing data systems like CRM/ServiceTitan and financials, contrasting this with smaller $4 - $5M owner-driven businesses. They discuss the importance of competitiveness, infrastructure, and recruiting, and Tommy's focus on lead generation and funnel math (booking rate, cancellations, conversion rate), including capacity planning, overstaffing with outbound to fill boards, and lowering cancellations driven by response time. Ishmael emphasizes three core departments: marketing, sales, and operations/customer fulfillment, and argues many operators underperform in marketing and sales. 00:00 The Importance of Client Empowerment 06:03 Marketing as the Foundation of Success 11:53 Managing Seasonality in Business 14:59 Investment Strategies Post-Exit 22:28 Creative Financing and Collaboration 31:14 Market Entry Strategies and Performance Metrics 36:27 Marketing and Brand Recognition 39:06 Sales Techniques and Customer Engagement 49:19 The Power of Personal Branding 55:16 Sales Strategies and Growth Goals

In this episode of the podcast, we interview investor and nurse Miranda Widmeyer about her first ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) project in California—turning a used tiny home on wheels into a fully permitted, high-cash-flow rental. Miranda shares how she intentionally bought a property with space for an ADU, used a rent-by-the-room strategy in the main house to cover her mortgage, and then found a $40,000 tiny home on Facebook Marketplace, negotiating creative seller financing to avoid overleveraging.She walks through the realities of being the first person in her city to convert a tiny home into an ADU, including months of back-and-forth with the city, the manufacturer, and engineers to satisfy code, secure plans, and work through Insignia and permitting challenges.Miranda breaks down her actual numbers—including utilities and concrete —and her target rental income, which comes in under budget and beats the 2% rule. She also discusses funding the project with a HELOC and extra hospital shifts, the power of problem-solving and not taking “no” for an answer, and how the WIIRE Community helped her lead her team and push the project across the finish line.  Resources:Get in touch with Miranda WidmeyerGet all the deets on Miranda's Scrubs2Success Community Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

In this episode of the podcast, we're tackling a question many female real estate investors face: Should you invest in real estate if you have credit card debt? We share how tools like 0% APR cards can be used strategically for renovations—when you have the cash and discipline to pay them off—while explaining why it's nearly impossible to out-invest 20–30% credit card interest. We break down key red flags, including making only minimum payments, having no emergency reserves, and relying on rental cash flow to cover interest with no plan to eliminate principal.We walk through a few cases where investing while carrying debt might make sense, such as a conservative flip or a house hack that significantly reduces your housing costs, allowing you to attack debt faster. Lastly, we discuss using reserves, selling, or refinancing properties to pay off high-interest credit cards, and the mindset shift from avoidance to taking small, quick-win steps forward.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupFind out more about how to work with Grace's sister, Malia Gudenkauf, by visiting her websiteMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Welcome to The AZREIA Show!

In this episode, we tackle a big question for women building wealth through real estate: should you invest when you have credit card debt—and can credit cards ever be used strategically? Guest Malia Gudenkauf, also known as Little Miss Finance, breaks down when credit card debt is a hard no, when it might be acceptable, and why paying off 20–30% interest often beats chasing the next deal. We dig into the difference between using a 0% APR promo card versus revolving high-interest debt, plus the few situations where investing with debt can make sense, such as a conservative cosmetic flip or a house hack that slashes your housing costs so you can attack balances faster. We also flag major red flags, such as making only minimum payments, relying on rental cash flow to cover interest, and investing without reserves. Beyond the numbers, we talk about the stress of debt, the habit of “burying your head in the sand,” and how real estate should expand your life—not add panic.

Real estate didn't just change our income—it transformed our time, relationships, and what we believe is possible for our lives. In this episode, we share honestly about the lifestyle shifts we've experienced since becoming real estate investors: non-traditional work weeks, flexible days built around things we love (like pickleball, personal training, and slow Fridays), and the ability to travel or go home for weeks at a time without asking for PTO.We talk about how our social circles have completely changed as we've surrounded ourselves with ambitious women who talk about equity, mindset, and expansion. Amelia opens up about leaving a 9-year relationship, how having her own portfolio gave her the option to walk away, and why you can still invest even if your partner isn't on board.We also break down how real estate has made us financially stronger through debt paydown, equity, tax benefits, and the confidence that we can go out and make more money because we have the skills. If you're a woman who wants more freedom, alignment, and audacity in your life, this conversation will feel like a glimpse of what's possible for you, too.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, everybody! Happy 2026! We're already off rocking and rolling, and I'm thrilled to kick off the year with a true rockstar who's consistently dropping knowledge bombs on LinkedIn: Amanda Cruise! She's not just consistent; she knows her "shiznit" when it comes to mobile home park and affordable housing investing, sharing the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.Amanda's journey from a traditional career in chemistry/statistics to Capital One, and eventually to dominating the affordable housing space, is a testament to smart pivots and a nose for opportunity. Tired of "sucking at managing contractors," she found her sweet spot in mobile home parks, an often-overlooked niche that's less of a "dumpster fire" than other multifamily options. If you're ready to get past the stereotypes and unlock serious value, this episode is your golden ticket!Here's what you'll uncover to build wealth in the MHP space:Why MHPs Outperform: Learn how mobile home parks offer stable, high-demand affordable housing, avoiding the turmoil seen in other real estate sectors (and why that old "dumpster fire" apartment analogy fits elsewhere!).The "No Secret Sauce" Deal-Sourcing Strategy: Amanda reveals her straightforward approach: target mom-and-pop owners of smaller parks (under 100 lots) who are simply "tired of managing" and collecting rent door-to-door.Maximizing Value Beyond Rent Hikes: Discover key value-add plays like essential infrastructure improvements (paving, mailboxes, cleaning) and infilling empty lots with new homes to significantly boost park income and valuation.Creative Financing for Killer Returns: Understand how Amanda leverages bank financing, owner financing, and private lenders (offering 10% annual interest, paid monthly!) to acquire parks, even with 100% loan-to-cost, for rapid equity growth.Crucial Lessons & Investor Pitfalls: From "walking the park-owned homes" (a "whole 'nother level of couldn't believe" mistake!) to avoiding wastewater treatment plants and the critical role of consistent follow-up, get the real talk on what to watch out for.This isn't just about mobile homes; it's about smart, recession-resistant investing with a massive social impact. Amanda's candid insights, combined with her commitment to keeping her "head down and rocking and rolling," prove why she's at the top of her game.

This week, we are having an honest and heartfelt conversation about the sacrifices that come with building a life through real estate investing. We reflect on our individual financial journeys and the lifestyle changes we made early on—living below our means, rethinking spending habits, and strengthening our personal financial foundations before taking on larger investments. We share what it looked like during our DIY era, the risks we embraced as entrepreneurs, and the lessons we learned by building something from the ground up. While those seasons required hard choices, they also clarified our values and helped us align our lives with what truly mattered.We also talk about the rewards that come from those sacrifices and how intentional living has allowed us to create both financial freedom and personal fulfillment. We discuss the motivation that comes from milestones like receiving a first rent payment, the importance of community and surrounding ourselves with like-minded women, and why sacrifice doesn't have to mean a joyless life. Travel, self-care, and finding joy in small moments remain priorities for us, even as we continue to grow. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that it's okay to quit, pivot, and try again—and that with patience, alignment, and support, real estate investing can lead to a life that feels purposeful, balanced, and deeply rewarding.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupGrab our property management checklistMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you an entrepreneur looking to grow and thrive in the legal space? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Matt Anderson, an attorney and real estate investor, about his unconventional journey blending law, entrepreneurship, and property investing. Matt shares lessons from multi-level marketing and business ownership and emphasizes the importance of hiring for culture fit.For lawyers who are new to the entrepreneurial space, it is possible to build a firm that runs on minimal daily involvement. In order to do this, you need to let go of a lot of the day to day work of practicing law as well as partner and hire individuals who can help you achieve that. Partner with another lawyer who has the same vision as you. After that, look at hiring good lawyers who will do all the necessary work that will bring you success. That way, you can spend your day doing what you want to do.Matt provides some insights on hiring staff based on culture and character, rather than experience. One way to do this is utilizing personality tests, inner metrics and multiple interviews to find the right fit. For Matt, anyone can learn a skill or aspects of a job. But, not everyone has the character or personality to work for a certain firm. As an owner, you need to determine what kind of firm you want to run and hire people based on what matters to you most.Listen in to learn more!2:01 Creative Side Hustles in Law School4:13 Building a Business, Not Just Practicing Law9:44 Hiring and Personality Fit16:32 Buying Law Firm Real Estate 23:23 Creative Financing and Seller Deals 25:12 Renting vs. Owning Your Home29:24 AI as a Law Firm Leveler32:13 Preventing Lifestyle Creep in Law Firms34:06 Impact of AI and the Future of Office Space43:36 Who Runs the Firm?47:20 Biggest Surprises in Partnership 49:40 Implementing AI in the Firm53:03 The Role of Hard Work in Success 58:03 Importance of Emotional Intelligence (EQ)Connect with Matt:Website  LinkedIn  Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

In this episode, we open up about the creative strategies we've discovered as female real estate investors to secure capital when traditional funding feels out of reach. We share our experiences with tapping into equity, refinancing, and leveraging our networks, along with creative financing options like seller financing and partnerships. Throughout our journey, we've learned the importance of community, due diligence, and strategic planning.We've found that accessing our own equity through refinancing or HELOCs and building strong networks has been key to uncovering creative financing options. Understanding return on equity (ROE) has helped us evaluate property performance, and partnerships have provided us with capital, though they require careful due diligence.Raising private money and exploring creative financing methods like seller financing have been game-changers for us, bridging funding gaps when needed. We've realized that community support is invaluable for sharing resources and advice, and regularly reviewing our portfolio's equity is crucial for strategic planning. These approaches have empowered us to make informed decisions and grow our investments with confidence.  Resources:Grab your seat for our webinar on November 17thCheck out Episode 197Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
