Hey friends! We are welcoming back our friends Jenn & Joe Delle Fave this week to dive into the world of creative financing with a focus on wrap mortgages—a strategy gaining traction in today’s high-interest market. We're breaking down how wrap mortgages work, their historical roots, and why they’re making a comeback.

We walk through a real-life deal to show how this strategy plays out in practice, highlighting the critical role of seller motivation and flexible deal structuring, and share tips on finding and vetting tenant buyers, marketing properties as rent-to-own, and using non-refundable option deposits to secure committed buyers.

From single-family homes to high-end properties, this episode reveals how creative financing can open up new, profitable paths for investors—especially when paired with patience, strong negotiation, and a solid network.

Welcome back, friends! This week, we dive deep into the fundamentals of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and why they matter for real estate investors. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your portfolio, understanding how to properly use an LLC is key to protecting your assets and building a strong foundation.

We're debunking common myths—like the belief that forming an LLC automatically makes you a business owner or offers bulletproof protection—and explaining why careless mistakes can still leave you personally liable. One key topic we cover in this episode is "piercing the corporate veil," where mismanagement (like co-mingling funds or using incorrect signatures) can strip away an LLC’s legal protections.

Lastly, we also share real-life lessons from transaction missteps and offer actionable tips: keep business and personal finances separate, use proper documentation, counter-sign leases, and file biennial reports to stay compliant. Walk with us as we even break down structuring strategies, like separating active and passive income and considering an S-Corp or series LLC, depending on your goals and state laws.
