    Ep. 244 - He Bought 23 Rentals in One Year With None of His Own Money (Private Lending with Jon Hayes)

    One of Jon Hayes' clients bought 23 rental properties in his first year. Not flips — buy and hold, fully rehabbed, built to last. And he didn't use a dime of his own money to do it. Jon is a fourth-generation real estate guy and a private lender who structures deals in two pieces: short-term money to buy and rehab, then long-term financing once the property's fixed up and rented — so you can refinance out and keep your cash in your pocket. On a $200K rental at 70% loan-to-value, that's $60,000 in equity created in one deal. Do that 20 times and you're looking at $1.2 million in equity in a single year. We get into how his family's been doing this since 1988, why he steers people away from flipping and toward buy-and-hold, the renovation mistakes that'll bite you later (yes, the plumbing), and why building relationships beats knowing everything. If you've ever thought you needed a pile of cash to scale a rental portfolio, this episode will change your mind. Want to connect with Jon Hayes?

    Ep. 243 - $345K in Equity, Zero Money Out of Pocket: The Full Deal Breakdown

    We just closed on two houses and created $345,000 in equity — and we didn't use a single dollar of our own money to do it. Not one! In this episode, I walk you through the entire deal from start to finish: how the lead came to us (thanks to a contractor we're calling "Sad Sam" who couldn't come up with the funds), what the seller's real pain points were, and why money wasn't even his top priority. I break down exactly how we structured the offer — full asking price, $20,000 down, and the remaining $205,000 due in 12 months with zero interest — and why the seller said yes. Are you frustrated because you can't save enough to start buying rentals? Or you think the numbers just don't work in this market? They can. This deal proves it. I'll show you the ARV, the rehab budget, how we placed our private lender's money, and the creative financing structure that made this whole thing possible. Plus, I'm sharing my free resource with 37 places to find your next private lender — because raising money isn't about knowing the "right people," it's about knowing where to look. Enjoy!

    Ep. 242 - Fatal Financing Mistake #5 & #6: Get Paid Twice, Then Recycle It

    Waiting to get paid is costing you your portfolio. If you think cash flow only means that $300-$500 rent check every month, you're leaving money on the table before you even close! I break down fatal financing mistakes #5 and #6 — getting paid on the front end of every deal, and recycling your money so you can buy 10, 20, even 50 rentals off the same lender. I walk through a real deal we just closed: $89K purchase, $150K ARV, and how that structure put $10K in my pocket at closing. Plus the "you can't eat equity" myth that drives me crazy, and how private and seller financing actually work when you know how to recycle the cash. Stop waiting on rent checks to feel the win. Get paid when you buy! Visit our website at www.TrueWealthInvestors.com for more real estate wisdom and resources.

    Ep. 241 - How Eric Made $35K More By Ditching His Funding Partner

    Are you missing out on deals because you think high interest rates killed your cash flow? I hope not! In this episode, I break down fatal financing mistakes #3 and #4 — missing deals based on interest rates, and desperately needing lenders — plus the fix for both. I'll show you the exact numbers on a $105,000 loan that prove private money crushes traditional financing (we're talking a $478/month difference), and I'll share how Eric, a flipper in Dayton, made an extra $35,000 on a single deal just by raising private money instead of taking on a funding partner. If you've been letting interest rates talk you out of deals, this one's for you. Visit our website at www.TrueWealthInvestors.com for more real estate wisdom and resources.

    Ep. 240 - How Steve Turned an Old Teacher's IRA Into $225K and 8 Rentals

    Do you think you don't know anyone with money to lend? Steve thought that too — until he found out his friend's old teacher IRA was sitting untouched at $250,000. In this clip from our 3-Day One Rental to Freedom Workshop, Steve Lane shares how he and his business partner turned that conversation into a $225,000 private money loan at 7% interest-only — and built $100,000 in equity on a single deal. From 8 rentals to 10+ wholesale deals to two flips, Steve breaks down exactly how creative financing and staying focused on ONE thing at a time took his business from stuck to unstoppable. If you've ever felt like the money just isn't out there for you, listen close. It is. You just have to know where to look.

    Ep. 239 - How Jim & Scott Built $500K in Equity Buying Rentals With Other People's Money

    Half a million dollars in equity. In under three years. That's what my client Jim — alongside his business partner Scott — has built by buying rental after rental without using a dime of his own money. How long would it take YOU to save half a million dollars from a paycheck? In this recording from our recent 3-day live workshop, Jim and Scott break down exactly how they've grown to nine rental properties: raising money from six different private lenders, structuring promissory notes so their capital keeps moving, switching from the MLS to direct mail marketing, and using DSCR refinances to pull cash back out and buy again. If the idea of asking people you know to lend you money still feels intimidating, this one will change how you think about it. Enjoy!
