[00:01 - 10:13] An Alternative Approach to Real Estate Investing  

• Real Home Solutions matches up people who can't get financing with investors for win-win deals 
• They focus on the lease-to-own strategy, which has been given a bad name but can be made beneficial for everyone 
• They work with lenders to help buyers fix credit issues and get financing through banks 
• The typical timeline for someone struggling to be a homeowner is one to three years, and they usually deal with single-family homes
•  

[10:14 - 21:39] Deal structuring and working with lenders 

• The speaker works with any bank that can get approved, but sometimes has to find lenders willing to work upfront and explain the deal 
• Finding the right lender is important, depending on the borrower, investor, and the deal 
• Most of the properties are out-of-state and Midwest, but a few deals are done in Colorado too 
• The speaker predicts future valuations based on data trends, and the returns on this model are good compared to regular rentals
