WBP - Creative Cash W/ Bill Ham
Discover the best-kept secrets of the two creative, effective financing strategies other investors don’t want you to know about: Master Lease Options and Seller Financing. In this episode, Jake and Gino reveal the key aspects of creative financing with Bill Ham, who has been an amazing mentor for the Wheelbarrow Profits investor community and have recently launched his book ‘Creative Cash’ encapsulating his decades of experience with apartment investing. Here are some of the key takeaways from the Podcast: When lenders pull out from the market due to certain reasons and the economy tends to enter the recession cycle, creative financing becomes the solution for real estate investors who want to take advantage of the soft valuations. Traditional lending may not work in some apartment investing deals. Mentorship is necessary for real estate investors. It is like either you invest in learning or risk losing money on the streets with trial and error. Success leaves clues. Learning from the experienced mentor not only provides you with education but also enhances your credibility in the market, especially when you don’t have project experience that can be showcased before the potential stakeholders. You need to have sellers willing to work with you, in order to succeed. Use Spy Technique to seek information on the other side and determine what you can do to solve their problems.

WBP - Grow It The Ziglar Way
"You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” On this episode, we have none other than Tom Ziglar! Tom is the CEO of Ziglar Inc. and key collaborator on his father’s 30th book, Born to Win. Tom Ziglar believes there are three ways you can achieve greatness: Engage, Equip and Transfer. Listen to this awe-inspiring podcast power-packed with pure, actionable insights on how to make a larger impact and live a more fulfilling life. The key takeaways from the Podcast include the following: We create the future you see. You create the future in your mind. The secret to winning in life is making one right choice at a time. Do it now, don’t wait, especially when you have a chance to make a difference in someone’s life. There’s never the right time to thank someone, to start a new business or anything that you ever want. Ask these questions to yourself. What are you hungry for? What do you really want? If you zero-in on this, it will change your thought pattern and it will change your performance levels too. Balancing your career, personal life, finances, physical health, and mental wellbeing can be overwhelming. But it’s possible, thanks to Tom Ziglar’s formula for balanced success. Quality of work goes hand-in-hand with quality of life. The fastest way to success is to replace bad habits with good habits. Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude. Be grateful. Believe. Try. Learn more about Tom Ziglar: www.ziglar.com/tom-ziglar/ Learn more about Jake & Gino: www.jakeandgino.com Apply for Mentorship: https://jakeandgino.com/apply/
