Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wraps, Lease Options & Slow Flips: A Creative Finance Deep Dive with Philip Louden
Q: How did you get started in this space and what drew you to creative financing?
I moved from online businesses and COVID pivoted me toward real estate; a mentor showed me how to lock up properties with subject-to techniques and then sell the financing; the approach aligned with my desire for a peaceful, freedom-focused portfolio.
#128: Seller Finance and Subto - with Hans Moscicke
Q: What are the motivated-seller profiles Hans sees in practice?
Hans describes profiles that are responsive yet cautious, often brusque at first, sometimes owning many possessions, and frequently behind on payments but still communicative over time; genuine motivation shows through repeated questions and follow-ups, indicating a willingness to engage deeper in the process.
#127: The Role of Transaction Coordinators in Creative Finance Deals
Q: What exactly do transaction coordinators do in creative deals and why are they valuable?
They come in after a contract is executed, verify documents, coordinate with escrow and title, manage deadlines and contingencies, ensure proper signatures, and act as the main communication bridge to keep the deal moving smoothly, effectively serving as a back-end project manager.
#127: The Role of Transaction Coordinators in Creative Finance Deals
Q: Tell us a little bit about your background and how you got involved in all this.
Dee shares that she moved into real estate via property management and an executive assistant role for an investor, eventually finding a path into transaction coordination and realizing that the role is about managing the big picture, timelines, and communications rather than just paperwork.
#129: Shifting from Rentals to Owner Finance, with David Kahl
Q: What are your thoughts on Subject To deals going forward and how to manage risk?
He discusses the importance of proper structuring, writing agreements, substitution of collateral, and having a plan to unwind or sell the rap note if needed, emphasizing risk management and liquidity.
