Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In today’s episode, we chatted with Wesley Thompson, a graduate of the SubTo program who found success in real estate using creative financing strategies. Wes shares his journey from military service to becoming a long-term rental investor, highlighting the importance of finding the right market and building relationships. Highlights "I don't want to build myself into a business or a job. So I like to keep things as Chad Carson would say, relatively small and mighty."  "It's not necessarily the best idea to be the first one to reach the seller."  "It was very much a relationship thing... the listing agent reached out to me because they already had credibility there."  Timestamps: 00:49 - Meet Wesley Thompson 02:54 - Why Long-Term Rentals? 04:51 - Real Estate Journey: Army to SubTo Graduate 06:28 - First Creative Deal: Subject-To on MLS Listing 09:14 - Finding the Right Market & Seller Situation 12:27 - Wholesalers Paved the Way for Creative Deal 14:31 - Building Relationships with Listing Agents 18:43 - Renovation & Cash-on-Cash Return 21:14 - Creative Financing on the Commercial Side 24:20 - Open to Weird Deals & Building a Team ► Join The Subto Community & Learn Creative Finance Directly from Pace:  https://paceapproves.com/subto-gc   ► Want to Become a Private Money Lender?

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative. In this episode, I chat with JB over his podcast, The Wolf’s Den.  I share a crazy story about my first creative financing deal. Forget numbers, this was about emotions. I call it "finding the bunnies." Let me tell you, I was a rookie with zero experience, and almost blew it by chasing numbers. Then I met Janie, and her situation was a tangled mess. But with some empathy and creative thinking, I won her over. It wasn't about buying a house, it was about understanding her. Tune in to learn why rapport is king, how to uncover emotional drivers, and why going beyond the numbers can lead to big wins!  Highlights: "It's never about the house. It is always about the situation." "Your job as a real estate investor is to find people's bunnies, find the actual problem, find the issue of what they're doing."  "I didn't know how to comp. I didn't know how to do anything." - Timestamps: 00:00 - Joey Ryan Sets Up the Story 04:10 - The Meaning Behind SubTo  07:42 - My Blue-Collar Background 10:13 - My First House (and My Mistake) 12:40 - Missing Out on Leads 14:23 - The Importance of Taking Action (and Asking Questions) 16:12 - Meeting Janie Munson  19:22 - Mom to the Rescue!  21:59 - Why Janie Chose Me 23:40 - Infinite Banking and Passive Income ► Join The Subto Community & Learn Creative Finance Directly from Pace:  https://paceapproves.com/subto-gc   ► Want to Become a Private Money Lender?
