A Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Your First Deal

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In this episode, we embark on a 90-day journey with Nathan Barnes, a member of the Gator community. We'll explore how Nathan, a carpenter from Oregon now turned real estate enthusiast, integrates into the world of creative finance. From setting up his own LLC to mastering the Gator method under the mentorship of his guide, this series promises to offer a step-by-step blueprint for anyone looking to break into real estate without prior ownership. 
 
Highlights:
"You know what people's biggest problem is? They need a step-by-step solution to anything they're trying to do."
 
"We are literally going to take a brand new Gator, somebody who just joined the tribe, and we're going to document everything he does."
 
"The challenge with Gator is you won't see the physical result. You will only be able to hear it when you hear how articulate you are."
 
"This is why I'm saying we do one hour a day of action and maybe even two hours of documenting."

Turning Zero Equity into Cash Flow: Jackson’s Strategy

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In today’s episode, we have a special guest, Jackson Pierce, joining our host, Justin Tuminowski. Jackson, a member of the Gator tribe and a seasoned real estate investor, shares his journey from military service to mastering creative finance strategies in real estate. Throughout the episode, Jackson discusses how he leveraged creative financing techniques to turn seemingly impossible deals into profitable investments. He dives into a recent Sub-To deal where he transformed a zero-equity situation into significant cash flow by using his unique exit strategy. 
 
Highlights:
"I went from YouTube University to the school of Gator, and this year, I got into SubTo  and Owners Club as well."
 
"You need to be telling people what you're doing... It's mindset, but at the end of the day, you have to talk about your passions."
 
"It's important that I had my exit strategy lined up. I don't think I could have bought this deal without knowing exactly what I was going to do with it."
 
"You don't have to have a direct-to-seller business when you just talk about what you're doing and what you're passionate about."
