It’s a Whole New Ball Game With Creative Financing Paperbac

I’ve spent four decades coaching investors in their creative financing and note businesses. Competition has never been stronger in real estate investing, however, there’s a portion of real investing you can play that most other investors can’t. And it puts you way ahead of the game. Creative Financing!

There are three other big challenges that investors face:

– The seller won’t budge on their price because they’re not desperate to sell.

– The seller owes too much on his mortgage so he can’t take a low price.

– There’s something weird or unique about the property that will make it hard for you to resell.

In this book, I’ll explain how creative financing can make these obstacles go away. These techniques help wholesalers double conversion rates on the offers made because we can now control three important factors:

– The terms of the sale.

– The terms of the loan.

– The terms of the agreement.

I help people look at real estate through a different lens than just about anyone else. I’m helping smart investors think differently about how they’ve done things the same way over and over. I show them how to dig deep into the numbers and find money to be made. Most investors don’t know this, most investors don’t do this. You need to understand all the tools available in the creative financing toolbox and this book can help you get there.
