You Don't Need Deep Pockets To Start, You Need A Strategy

[Michael Carbonare]

“I’d love to invest in real estate but I don’t have the money.”
That’s the most common excuse I hear and it’s built on a false assumption:
That you need big cash, lines of credit, and a lender in your back pocket to get in the game.
Reality Check: the best creative deals I’ve done required none of that. I'm not talking about the no-money-down gimmicks that you've studied on YouTube and TikTok.
Lease options. . .and within that varied strategy is the 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.
They’re problem-solving tools that help sellers out of tough situations and allow you to control real estate without owning it, without risk, and without cash out of pocket. Most new investors just don’t know these strategies exist.
So they assume they need to save up or sit on the sidelines. Saving for a down payment is a losing proposition. While you're saving the housing market continues to appreciate, leaving you further behind than when you began.
It’s not a money problem. It’s a strategy gap. I’ve done deals with less than $100 out of pocket because I learned how to think creatively.
If money’s been your biggest mental block, that excuse is exactly what’s keeping you stuck.
