  • Social Media is Killing the Next Generation.

    What Is This Video About?

    Pace shares his personal approach to helping his son overcome phone addiction by providing purpose rather than restrictions. Giving children meaningful activities they’re excited about naturally reduces screen dependency.

    How Is Social Media Affecting Young People?

    Pace explains why posting content alone won’t generate revenue. The key is understanding distribution channels, building effective funnels, and knowing exactly where to guide your audience for conversion.

    Why Doesn’t Posting Content Automatically Generate Revenue?

  • How to Negotiate Seller Financing (Live Call)

    Most people imagine negotiating seller financing as a pitch: convince the seller to “be the bank.” Watch a real call and you see the opposite — the best negotiators barely pitch at all. The live call below shows how the conversation actually goes with both a broker and a seller on the line; this article breaks down the framework so you can run it yourself.

    The Mindset: Diagnose, Then Prescribe

    Seller financing gets agreed to when it solves the seller’s problem better than a conventional sale does. That means the negotiation is mostly discovery. You are listening for four things: the timeline (why now?), the destination of the money (what will they do with proceeds?), the pain (payments, vacancy, repairs, taxes), and the fallback (what happens if it does not sell?).

    The Questions That Do the Work

    • “What has you selling now, rather than a year ago or a year from now?”
    • “When it sells, what does that money need to do for you?”
    • “If we could get you your full price, would the timing of how you receive it be flexible?”
    • “What would make this a home run for you?”

    Notice none of these mention interest rates or amortization. Terms come after motivation. Bring numbers too early and every conversation collapses back into a price fight.

    Presenting the Offer

    When the motivation is clear, the offer writes itself — and you present it as the solution to what they told you. A seller who said the proceeds are “just going in the bank” hears: “The bank will pay you almost nothing on that money. What if the property paid you instead — full price, monthly income, secured by the house you know better than anyone?”

    Structure points to settle: purchase price, down payment, monthly payment, interest rate (some sellers respond better to a flat monthly number), term and balloon if any, and who services the loan. Concede on the number the seller cares about most and hold the ones that make the deal work for you.

    Working With Brokers Instead of Around Them

    Agents kill creative deals they do not understand — and champion the ones they see clearly. On a listed property, walk the broker through how their commission gets paid at closing, how the paperwork runs through title like any other sale, and why this may be the offer that actually closes. A broker who has watched a listing sit for 90 days is often your best ally.

    Trust Is the Real Currency

    No script beats being the person who listened, followed through, and closed exactly the way they said they would. Sellers accept unusual terms from people they trust and reject great terms from people they do not.

  • Most Wholesalers Get This Wrong

  • Creative Finance Training

    Creative finance is a toolbox, not a trick: a set of ways to acquire real estate without walking into a bank. The training below covers the strategies end to end — subject-to, seller financing, and RV park acquisitions. This article is your written companion: what each tool is, when to use it, and the guardrails that keep deals clean.

    Tool 1: Seller Financing

    The seller becomes the bank: you agree on price, down payment, interest, and a monthly note, documented with a promissory note and recorded mortgage. It shines with free-and-clear properties and retiring owners who prefer monthly income (and a gentler tax picture) over a lump sum. Everything is negotiable — which is the point. Sellers anchored on price will often give remarkable terms; sellers anchored on monthly income will trade on price.

    Tool 2: Subject-To

    You take title to the property while the seller’s existing mortgage stays in place, and you make the payments. When the existing loan carries a low fixed rate, you are effectively inheriting financing no bank would write today. The honest risks: the lender’s due-on-sale clause (rarely exercised while payments are current, but real), and the moral weight of the seller’s name remaining on the debt — which is why subject-to deals demand professional closings, insurance done right, and buyers who actually pay.

    Tool 3: The Hybrid Stack

    Most creative deals combine tools: existing loan stays subject-to, seller carries a second for their equity, buyer brings a modest down payment. The structure flexes to the seller’s situation — that flexibility is exactly what beats a rigid cash offer in a competitive market.

    Where It All Points: Cash Flow

    The strategies exist to acquire assets that pay you monthly — rentals, and especially RV parks, where mom-and-pop sellers and seller financing overlap perfectly. The goal the training keeps returning to: replace W-2 dependence with income from assets you control. One well-bought, seller-financed park can outearn a salary.

    The Guardrails

    • Close professionally, every time. Title company or attorney, recorded documents, real insurance. Creative does not mean casual.
    • Full disclosure. Every party understands the structure — especially subject-to sellers.
    • Buy deals that work as deals. Creative structure cannot rescue a property that does not cash flow. Run the numbers as if you were paying cash; the structure is how you buy it, not why.
    • Have an exit. Refinance, sale, or long-term hold — know it before you sign.

    Put It to Work in Florida

    The Panhandle is full of the exact seller profiles creative finance serves — long-time owners, free-and-clear properties, RV parks, and homes with low-rate loans worth keeping alive. If you want to buy (or sell) with these structures around Panama City, reach me at WinWithGlen.com.

  • Make $12,500/Month Passive Income.

    $12,500 a month in passive income sounds like a lottery-ticket number — until you see the math on a seller-financed RV park. The comparison in the video is blunt: analyze 150 parks once to find one great deal, or spend four years in college for a job that may pay less. Here is how the number actually gets built.

    The Vehicle: Cash-Flowing Assets, Not Salary

    Passive income in real estate comes from owning assets that produce monthly revenue whether or not you show up: rental properties, storage, and — the focus here — RV parks. Parks are uniquely suited to the goal because one acquisition delivers dozens of income streams (pads), operating costs are low relative to apartments, and the seller base skews toward retiring owners open to financing the sale themselves.

    Why Seller Financing Changes Everything

    The traditional barrier to buying a large asset is the bank: 25–30% down, W-2 history, credit committee. Seller financing removes the bank. The retiring owner becomes your lender — you agree on a down payment, an interest rate, and a monthly note. No loan committee, no tax-return archaeology, and terms that flex around the deal. For the seller it means steady retirement income and a better after-tax outcome than a lump sum. For you it means the deal is negotiated, not applied for.

    The $12,500 Math

    A concrete shape of the target: an 80-pad park averaging $450/month per pad grosses $36,000/month. Run it at a 35% expense ratio and you net about $23,400 before debt. If your seller-financed note costs $10,900/month, you clear roughly $12,500 — from one property, with no bank in the deal. Different parks hit the number differently (more pads at lower rates, fewer with nightly traveler income), but the levers are always the same: pads × rate × occupancy, minus expenses, minus the note.

    The Real Work: Analyzing 150 to Buy 1

    The “passive” label is earned up front. Finding the right park means screening a lot of wrong ones — overpriced, failing septic, fake occupancy numbers, flood-zone problems. The discipline that pays: verify twelve months of actual collections, walk the utilities with an inspector, confirm zoning and pad count, and model the worst season, not the best. Do that 150 times and the one you buy will carry you for a decade.

    Start Where the Deals Are

    Florida is one of the best RV park markets in America — year-round season, snowbird migration, and steady in-state growth. If you want to hunt parks or land in the Panhandle, reach me at WinWithGlen.com and let’s look at what is actually available here.

    Understanding Open Houses

    • Open houses are often underutilized by agents, with many feeling they waste time without generating leads.
    • Effective open houses can yield a mix of buyers (60-70%) and sellers (30-40%), contrary to the belief that they attract only curious neighbors.
    • Agents need to adopt a strategy that transforms the open house experience into a productive lead-generation event rather than a passive showing.

    Key Steps to Success

    1. Property Selection
    • Choose properties in areas with high potential for your ideal clients to increase foot traffic.
    • Track performance metrics like location, time, and neighborhood to identify the most productive areas for open houses.
    • Aim for properties that appeal to move-up buyers who are likely to sell their current homes.
    1. Pre-Marketing
    • Promote the open house 72 hours in advance through various channels to maximize attendance.
    • Utilize social media ads and local flyers to generate buzz and gather leads before the event.
    • Leverage the open house as a networking opportunity to engage with neighbors and potential sellers.
    1. Setup
    • Strategically place signs to guide traffic and attract attention from various entry points around the neighborhood.
    • Create an inviting atmosphere with banners and decorations to draw in potential clients.
    • Ensure the sign-in process is seamless, encouraging high participation without pressure.
    1. Tour Process
    • Engage attendees during the property tour, focusing on understanding their needs and setting future appointments.
    • Use open-ended questions to uncover their buying timeline and motivations.
    • Aim to define their goals clearly, which helps in follow-ups and conversions later.
    1. Follow-Up
    • Implement a robust follow-up protocol, including personalized video messages and automated email campaigns.
    • Segment leads based on their source (buyers, neighbors, potential sellers) for tailored communication.
    • Maintain consistent engagement to ensure that leads remain warm and ready to act when the time is right.
    1. Continuous Improvement
    • Analyze the outcomes of each open house to refine strategies and maximize effectiveness over time.
    • Remain adaptable to changes in the market and client preferences by tracking success metrics.
    • Foster a mindset of ongoing learning and adjustment to maintain competitive advantages in real estate.

    Marketing to expired rental listings as a realtor can be a great way to generate new leads and build relationships with landlords who may need your help. Here’s a strategic approach:

    1. Research & Identify Expired Rental Listings

    • Use MLS (if accessible) or rental listing platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, or Facebook Marketplace to find expired or outdated rental listings.
    • Look for properties that have been on the market for a long time without a lease agreement.
    • Check public records to identify the owner if they haven’t relisted.

    2. Contact Landlords & Property Owners

    • Cold Calling: Introduce yourself, acknowledge that their rental has expired, and offer your expertise in getting it rented faster.
    • Email Outreach: Craft a professional email highlighting market insights, reasons their property may not have rented, and how you can help.
    • Direct Mail: A personalized letter or postcard with compelling messaging like “Struggling to rent your property? Let me help you find quality tenants faster!”
    • Door Knocking (if local): If you know the property is vacant, consider dropping off a flyer with your contact information.

    3. Provide a Strong Value Proposition

    • Market Analysis: Share rental comps and data to help them understand the current market conditions.
    • Professional Listing Strategy: Offer to relist with better-quality photos, staging tips, and optimized descriptions.
    • Tenant Screening: Highlight how you can attract and vet reliable tenants to avoid vacancies and problem renters.
    • Marketing Reach: Show how you leverage digital marketing (Google Ads, social media, SEO, email lists) to maximize visibility.

    4. Offer Incentives to Work With You

    • Discounted First Rental: Offer a reduced commission or a free consultation to build trust.
    • Rental Listing Optimization Guide: Provide a PDF with tips on improving rental listings (better photos, pricing, description, etc.).
    • Guaranteed Results: If applicable, promise to get their property rented within a specific timeframe or offer additional services.

    5. Leverage Social Media & Ads

    • Run targeted ads to local property investors and landlords promoting your rental services.
    • Create content around “Why Your Rental Isn’t Getting Leased & How I Can Help!”
    • Post success stories of other rentals you’ve helped fill quickly.

    6. Follow Up Consistently

    • Many landlords may not respond immediately, so have a follow-up system via email, calls, or texts.
    • Offer market updates to stay top-of-mind in case they decide to relist.
