[00:00 - 06:41] Investing in Real Estate Despite Rising Interest Rates

  • Chris brings 31 years of real estate experience to the table

  • Having survived the 2008 crash, he recommends not taking bank loans in personal name and not using personal money

  • Interest rates are still below average, making it a good time to invest

  • Creative financing allows for properties to be purchased at low interest rates

[06:42 - 13:13] Financing Strategies for Alternative Financing in a Changing Market

  • Interest rates have averaged 7.7% over the past 50 years

  • Current market conditions have made it difficult for many buyers to secure conventional financing

  • It may take up to 24 months for prices to stabilize

  • Creative financing, such as owner financing and subject to existing financing, can be used as an alternative option for buyers who cannot obtain traditional financing

[13:14 - 25:13] Strategies for Creative Financing in the Post-Covid Real Estate Market

  • Identifying motivated sellers can be done through rent by owners, free and clear properties with out-of-state addresses, owner financing, and niche lists

  • A cold calling script for free and clear properties can start with acknowledging the property's free and clear status and asking if the owner has any intentions of selling given the current market conditions

  • Owner financing and subject-to-existing financing are two effective creative financing strategies that can be used in the current market

  • Working with a real estate attorney can be beneficial to ensure compliance with legal requirements and avoid potential pitfalls when using creative financing strategies
