Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In today’s session we’re joined by real estate enthusiasts Mark Freas and Arnie Newton. Mark shares the inspiring journey of securing his first Sub-To deal with the guidance of his mentor, Arnie. From finding the right properties to navigating hurdles like liens and skeptical agents, this episode is packed with practical advice and motivating insights for anyone looking to make their mark in real estate.

Highlights:

“You’ve got to make friends, get out there, and talk to people.”

“The key to getting deals locked up is being transparent, showing credibility, and being honest.”

“Our community is nationwide. If you're willing to work with others, you can get your first deal done.”

"You don’t need to know everything—just find someone in the community who does."
