  • Summary

  • Novation is a term you may not be familiar with, but today’s guest is an expert in this real estate strategy and explains why you need to know about it. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Trever Ahing, founder of Buyer Beater University, specializing in Novations. Trever is a creative finance specialist with a military background, giving him a unique perspective on building strategies in real estate. Jonathan and Trever begin their discussion by exploring Trever’s military background, how it led him to real estate, and why he built his business around Novations. You’ll hear the four Ds of real estate, why it matters when you’re service-oriented versus sales-oriented, and the deal that caused Trever to get his real estate license and start his Novation business. As the conversation winds down, Trever shares why he says “no” more often than “yes,” how to find a real estate ad ripe for Novation, and the marketing he uses to discover new clients and dud listings.
