Chris Prefontaine breaks down why creative real estate works in every market—and why most investors quit before the breakthrough.In this episode of RealDealChat, Chris Prefontaine returns to break down the fundamentals of creative real estate investing and why patience—not tactics—is the missing ingredient for most investors.Chris shares his journey from traditional building and brokerage to getting crushed in the 2008 crash—and how that pain forced him to rethink everything. With no credit, no cash, and no desire to rely on banks again, Chris rebuilt his business using owner financing, lease-purchase, and subject-to strategies—eventually creating what he calls the 3-Payday System: getting paid upfront, monthly, and on the backend of every deal.We dive deep into why it realistically takes 3–7 years to master any business, how unrealistic expectations sabotage investors, why drilling too many “wells” guarantees failure, and how creative real estate allows you to operate profitably in any market cycle—including COVID and today's high-rate environment.This episode is essential listening for investors tired of chasing tactics and ready to build something durable.

In this episode, Alex Quin sits down with Christian Pombo of Creative Real Estate Deals to unpack how he moved over $20 million in off-market real estate deals in the past year using creative finance strategies. From his start in pre-med to becoming a wholesale dealmaker, Christian shares actionable insights on wholesaling, sub-to deals, seller finance, and how he built a community of over 500 investors in a thriving paid WhatsApp group.Episode Outline:[00:00] Intro & High School Roots [03:00] How Christian Pivoted from Pre-Med to Real Estate [05:50] Early Real Estate Influences in His Family [08:15] Real Estate Seemed "Played Out" at First [10:30] Why Wholesaling and Creative Finance Clicked [13:15] Sub-to vs Seller Financing Explained [18:50] Recent $400K Deal Example in Homestead [23:00] Objections Sellers Have About Sub-To [27:20] Off-Market vs On-Market Property Deals [33:30] Why Most Realtors Don't Know About Creative Finance [38:00] The Importance of Problem Solving in Real Estate [43:45] Cherry-Picking the Best Deals [47:50] Importance of Buy Box and Market Familiarity [51:30] Creative Financing Example from Hialeah Purchase [55:10] Foreclosures Are Up: Here's Why [59:00] Building the WhatsApp Group & Helping New InvestorsWisdom Nuggets:Creative Financing Is a Problem Solver: Creative finance isn't just about strategy—it's about finding ethical ways to solve real problems. When banks say no, these methods can create win-win scenarios for both investors and distressed property owners.Sellers' Situations Dictate the Terms: Forget falling in love with the kitchen layout—real estate investing success comes from understanding the seller's situation. The better you grasp their challenges, the better your chances at structuring a mutually beneficial deal.Build Your Buyer List Before the Deal: Don't wait until you have the contract to look for a buyer. Build a community—like Christian's WhatsApp group—so when the right deal lands, it moves quickly.Long-Term Financing Buys Time and Options: In creative finance, the longer the financing terms, the better. It gives investors the breathing room to hold, refinance, or cash flow without pressure.Relationships Drive Revenue: Speed and communication are important, but nothing replaces trust. Christian attributes much of his success to in-person networking and repeat business from buyers who trust his word and deal quality.Power Quotes“I sell good deals, but I buy great deals.” - Christian Pombo"I'm raising gentlemen." - Christian PomboConnect with Christian:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/pomborealestate)Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/creativerealestatedeals)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram: (https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

We unpack a subscriber's late mortgage lead and outline an approach that widens our focus to agents, investors, and like-minded professionals who care about mortgage-backed opportunities.

We discuss practical tools such as PropStream, Matt's ability to call late-mortgage leads, Homebot's market-value reports and CMA-driven strategies, and the importance of keeping your name on every document. The group shares negotiation playbooks for tough divorce scenarios, from mediation-ready packages to neutral communications, and the value of data-backed conversations with attorneys and lenders. The central theme is action: consistent calling, thorough data, and smart collaboration to generate opportunities across probate, divorce, and pre-foreclosure niches while leveraging community programs to help homeowners stay in place and avoid unnecessary foreclosures. Tune in for real-world tactics, thoughtful analysis, and a community of peers ready to turn insights into deals. Key Takeaways:  - A broad audience including agents, investors, and like-minded professionals expand on opportunities in late mortgage niches.  - The refresh program revives older data to identify viable prospects and preserve value in aging leads.  - Habitat for Humanity partnerships offer pathways to retain homeowners through mortgage restructuring and board collaboration.  - Homebot and CMA tools enhance client communication and credibility, increasing close chances.  - Maintaining neutrality in divorce negotiations protects relationships and improves deal flow.  - Relentless follow-up and disciplined call monitoring yield meaningful opportunities with minimal waste.  - Data-driven, collaborative approaches unlock strategies across probate, divorce, and pre-foreclosure markets while leveraging community programs. https://www.AllTheLeads.com or call (844) 532-3369 to check how many leads are available in your market. #LateMortgageLeads #ProbateRealEstate #DivorceListings #RealEstateLeadsPrevious episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?
