Creative Finance Playbook

Jenn and Joe

Welcome to the Creative Finance Playbook Podcast. In real estate, creative financing is a non-traditional means of buying real estate. The goal of creative financing is generally to purchase or finance a property, with the buyer using as little of their own money as possible. The purpose of our CFP is to share with real estate buyers/investors what we do in real estate. As always, we recommend hiring a your own attorney and CPA for all of your real estate needs.

    Join The Creative Finance Playbook Coaching Program & Learn Directly from Jenn & Joe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creativefinanceplaybook.com/ The real estate market is changing — and the strategies that worked before won’t work the same in 2026. In this episode of Creative Finance Playbook, Jenn & Joe Della Fave break down the best real estate investing strategies for 2026, especially for investors who want to build wealth without banks, without credit, and without large amounts of capital. With interest rates hovering in the 6% range and prices still high in many markets, traditional strategies like BRRRR and heavy rehabs are slowing down. So what is working? Seller financing and free-and-clear properties. You’ll learn why nearly 40% of homes nationwide are owned free and clear, how investors are paying full price while still cash flowing, and the 4 key pillars of every creative finance deal: low entry cost, strong cash flow, long terms, and flexible pricing.

About

Welcome to the Creative Finance Playbook Podcast. In real estate, creative financing is a non-traditional means of buying real estate. The goal of creative financing is generally to purchase or finance a property, with the buyer using as little of their own money as possible. The purpose of our CFP is to share with real estate buyers/investors what we do in real estate. As always, we recommend hiring a your own attorney and CPA for all of your real estate needs.
