The Impossible SubTo Deal: How Robert’s Perseverance Turned a Hard ‘No’ Into a Win

California architect and longtime creative finance investor Robert Larivee joins host Keola Keala to share how he turned a Zillow listing that said “No Sub2” into a fully negotiated creative finance deal using skill, patience, and the power of his SubTo team. With decades of experience in architecture, construction, and seller-financed deals—even before joining Pace Morby’s community—Robert explains why teamwork, relationship-building, and perseverance dramatically shorten the path from lead to closing. He reveals how joining SubTo accelerated his deal flow, how his team handles acquisitions, closings, and dispo, and why community support is essential for anyone wanting to succeed in creative real estate. Packed with wisdom from a lifetime of creative problem-solving, this episode is a blueprint for new and seasoned investors alike.
