In this episode of the Get Creative podcast, Ashley Abbott shares his journey from a fix and flip to leveraging the proceeds into multiple other deals using creative finance strategies. From negotiating deals to structuring seller financing, Ashley's story is a testament to the power of strategic thinking in real estate investment.

Highlights 

"I could not comprehend that you can go get a property with a three or 4% interest rate, just take over the note payments and not put any money, little or no money down."
"Now I have 33 doors, and 19 of those came from sub-two deals, just sitting back."

"So, especially doing the burrs, I've actually been doing less burrs. When the interest rates on DSCRs have gone up to around 8, 8.5% even at times, I decided that there's just not much cash flow. I shouldn't be leaving my money in these deals."
