Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In this episode, your host, Ingryd Hernandez, sits down with Joel Overell to discuss his journey in real estate, the challenges and rewards of transitioning from side hustles to full-time investing, and the key role of creative financing in his business strategy. Joel shares how his background in construction helped him leverage fix-and-flip opportunities and discusses his experiences with the SubTo community, hard money loans, and scaling his real estate ventures.   Highlights: "Taking that first step and proving to yourself that this can be a legitimate business makes the next one a little less daunting."   "Real estate isn't just about the numbers; it's about building relationships that bring deals your way."   "We flipped this property in four months, and while it wasn’t a home run, it was a solid proof of concept."   "Working smarter, not harder, is the key—especially when you're teaming up with others who have the resources."   Timestamps: 00:00 Welcome to Get Creative 03:18 A Local Flip Deal 05:07 Building Relationships in SubTo 09:48 Flipping Success 10:41 Breaking Down the Numbers 15:17 Scaling Flips and Future Goals 16:53 Balancing Family and Business 17:40 Supportive Partners 20:26 Proof of Concept   ► Join The Subto Community & Learn Creative Finance Directly from Pace:  https://paceapproves.com/subto-gc  ► Want to Become a Private Money Lender?
