In this episode of Real Estate Junkies Coast to Coast, hosts Rusty Ham and Rick Abbiati break down how to accurately comp properties and overcome high-interest rate challenges when structuring creative deals.
The duo dives into comping strategies using PropStream, RealEflow, Zillow, and Rentometer—key tools for assessing property value and rental rates. They discuss how sellers overestimate their home’s worth, the impact of interest rates on cash flow, and why certain properties—like mobile homes and ADU-equipped properties—are tougher to comp.
They also tackle a growing challenge: negative payday two (monthly cash flow) on lease purchase and subject-to deals due to rising mortgage rates. Rusty and Rick reveal two key strategies to make deals work despite high monthly payments: 1️⃣ Seller subsidization – Convincing motivated sellers to cover a portion of the negative cash flow.
2️⃣ Taking a short-term hit – Only if the deal holistically makes sense with a strong payday one (down payment) and payday three (backend profits).
Plus, they discuss why creative finance requires long-term thinking, the importance of Wicked Smart Sit-Downs, and how to leverage new lead sources like Land Boys.
