Newsflash: There's a new breed of dealmaking and creative real estate. And they are not smarter than most. They don't work harder than the average. NO! They just figured out how to take what used to take four hours of work and do it in four minutes. And have better, more current seller information. Plus, the best part … A lot of this information is free, and already in your Internet browser. If you are stuck, wondering how to find motivated sellers, and what to do with them once you find them, this episode is aimed directly at you. In fact, you probably already have these tools. But you have not been shown how to use them for your full advantage. And once you hear what we say today, you will feel you have an unfair advantage when doing creative real estate dealmaking. But if you are cool with spinning your wheels, learning old-fashioned ways, without results, then this is not your podcast. So don't waste your time listening. However, if you're hungry to do deals, make money now, monthly, and later. Without selling your soul to the devil, then listen up now.

All it takes is one (yes, ONE!) real estate deal to change your life and jumpstart your path to financial freedom. You could stop after just one, but more often than not, that first deal opens the door to even bigger opportunities, allowing you to build wealth, create more passive income streams, and finally reach financial independence. Every successful real estate investor has had that one deal that set off a domino effect, enabling them to build wealth. We're sharing ours today so you can repeat them! Joining Dave are Garrett Brown and Matt Faircloth, two investors from different backgrounds, strategies, and parts of the country. But both had real estate deals that propelled them forward toward financial freedom. Dave also had a killer real estate deal (only his second deal ever!) that significantly increased his standard of living. We'll share how Garrett made $50,000 (tax-free!) on a repeatable first real estate deal anyone in any area can try. Matt shares how he was able to scale up his portfolio fast when he realized he didn't need to provide the money for his down payments and renovations. Finally, Dave shares the second deal he ever did that upgraded his life permanently and why he does not “sacrifice” to achieve financial freedom faster.  In This Episode We Cover The real estate deals that defined our investing careers (and how they propelled us to financial freedom) The easiest real estate investment for beginners (make $50K+ tax-free!)  Using other people's money to invest in real estate? Why you don't need to have the down payment  How to live for free and speed up your timeline to financial independence like Dave Why you should tell everyone you know that you invest in real estate  And So Much More!

For years, I've watched investors celebrate their "successful" creative deals on social media, at meetups, and in coaching groups. Smiling faces. Victory lapse. Success stories. But in this episode, we are going to share what they are not telling you. And I called these the skeletons. You need to see them coming and not run when you discover them. And navigate them and sometimes exploit these skeletons. This is the dancing part. After today, you will have the full, undisclosed truth about the ups and downs of doing Creative Real Estate transactions. You'll start seeing what others miss, you'll ask questions others avoid. And you will structure deals others will walk away from. Most important, you will actually understand that Creative Real Estate entrepreneurs aren't just optimistic, they are realist if you learn: The bigger the problem, the bigger the profit. Let's get started…

There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we're taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today's high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You're probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn't exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We've even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we're sharing exactly where we found them.  In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental  The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental  A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you're on a BIG lot  Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month  Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors  And So Much More!
