We want to give a huge shoutout to @Oscar Castro for today's discussion on short sales, the different parties involved, and the difference of what will get your deal either approved or denied! It's a pleasure having Oscar on our team for all our short sale needs! Contact info: @Oscar Castro (973) 851-3790 marinocastro23@gmail.com

Grab your coffee, tea, or lunch and join us this week. We’re bringing in @Oscar Castro, licensed realtor since 2008 with a background in credit repair and deep, real-world experience navigating short sales from start to finish. This is a lane most investors avoid, not because it’s not profitable, but because they don’t understand it. Oscar does. And he’s breaking it down A to Z. What he’ll cover: 🏠 What a short sale actually is & when it makes sense 🧩 How to structure & close short sale deals 👥 All parties involved & how to work with them effectively 📉 Why deals get approved or denied 🏦 How lenders (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, private) think If you’ve ever passed on a deal because it “looked complicated,” this is the room you want to be in. As always, we’ll leave time for Q&A, come ready and come curious 🙌🏻

Shout out to @Geraldo Bautista for speaking to us about the perks of working with a lending brokerage, house hacking, BRRRR and DCSR loans - so much value we're going to have a Part 2! Great Q/A section on this call as well! Contact Info: @Geraldo Bautista (201) 737-8268 geraldo@tmzmortgage.com tmzmortgage.com

A lot of people are stuck here, good opportunities, but no capital to move forward. The mistake I see most? Chasing investors without building the foundation first. In my experience, things only changed when I focused on consistency, sourcing deals every month and using income from a side hustle to fund my early projects. That built my track record and confidence. From there, investors became more open to partnering with me because they could see I knew what I was doing. If you’re serious about getting into property but funding is holding you back, there are ways to start without relying fully on investors from day one, that’s exactly what helped me. If you want to understand how I approached it and how you can do the same, drop me a message. What’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to finding funding or investors?
