Today you’re going to learn how to invest in real estate using none of your own money and no JV partners. My guests are Mel and Dave Dupis, creative funding experts who have a mix of all types of commercial and residential properties. We will also dive into scaling your business, exit strategies, mindset and so much more.
[00:00 - 06:54] - Mel and Dave's Intro to Real Estate
Started out working multiple jobs and buying properties traditionally
Discovered they couldn't grow quickly enough saving for down payments
Interviewed successful real estate investors and created a plan
[06:55 - 22:32] - Types of Creative Financing Strategies
Favorites are seller financing (carry backs) and using self-directed retirement funds
Seller financing allows flexibility to meet seller's needs in exchange for purchase financing
Self-directed IRAs / 401Ks can be used to fund real estate purchases
Promissory notes help cover deposits, down payments, rehabs, and closing costs
[22:33 - 31:34] - Building the Right Real Estate Team
Property managers are key for finding pocket listings from sellers
Investor-focused real estate agents understand numbers and creative finance
Ask probing questions to vet real estate team members' experience
Managed their own properties at first to understand property management
[31:35 - 36:14] - Buying International Real Estate
They've purchased properties in the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica using creative financing
With the right team, can quarterback international deals from anywhere
Made over $100K on a Costa Rica deal with no money down
[36:15 - 46:26] - Avoiding Common Investor Mistakes
Don't overspend or inflate lifestyle before long-term wealth is built
Prioritize property purchases over luxuries in beginning
Have a budget and savings buffer for unexpected expenses
Maintain oversight and understanding even with property managers

Key Quotes:
“If ever something happens, we'll sell our house before we don't pay back an investor because we can always buy a house, but we can never buy back our reputation.” - Dave Dupis
"We were literally trading our time for money, and although the book didn't show us how to do it, it made us realize that we're doing it all wrong and that there's an easier way to do this." - Mel Dupis
