From managing other people's properties to buying my own
I’m currently a property manager here in Central Florida, and now I’m stepping into the world of real estate investing. I’m brand new to the investing side, no deals under my belt yet, but I’m soaking up as much knowledge as I can every day. Right now I’m especially interested in creative financing deals: subject-to, lease purchase and owner financing structures. The challenge I’m working through is learning how to communicate value to sellers. I know these strategies can solve real problems for people, but when I get on the phone I get nervous, overthink everything, and end up tongue‑tied. For the experienced investors here, how did you overcome the newbie jitters when talking to sellers? What helped you get comfortable explaining creative deals without sounding unsure or overwhelmed? Appreciate any feedback received.
