Do you want to get in to real estate with little or no money down? Are you looking for new ways to scale your business, even during the Covid-19 pandemic?

In today’s episode of Passion for Real Estate Investments, Fuquan talks to Founder and CEO of Smart Real Estate Coach, Chris Prefontaine, about selling on terms, structuring deals, and creating a recession-resilient business. From doing constructions in the 90’s, to founding and running his own real estate business, to becoming a three-time best-selling author, Chris’s determination has allowed him to succeed in many diverse areas of expertise.

Since starting in real estate 30 years ago, Chris has experience in almost every real estate market. In 2008, with the financial crisis, he changed his business model to make it resilient to future financial crises. In 2014, he founded Smart Real Estate Coach, and has since been coaching investors on how to scale their business on their own terms. Chris is also a best-selling author, with his books, Real Estate On Your Terms, and The New Rules of Real Estate Investing.

What is Chris’s term strategy? How many ‘no’s does he get to a ‘yes’? He tells us about his “sandwich lease to subject-to” strategy, and the 3 Paydays concept. What are the rules he has upfront as a seller? He tells us his views on the state of coaching in the industry, and how he’s shortening the TTFD (time to first deal).

If you want to learn how to get into real estate with little or no money down, or you’re looking for new strategies to scale your business, this episode is for you.
