Every investor wants a rental property that brings in six figures, but not every investor is willing to scour old listings, bring in a partner, or exhaust all of their creative financing options. If you want the perfect deal, don’t let money get in the way!

Today, we’re chatting with former Division II football coach Adam Howard. In just three years, Adam has bought several properties that provide enough cash flow to replace his W2 income. This includes the “crown jewel” of his portfolio and first commercial property, a 13unit hotel tucked away in a beautiful New York lake town. Adam found this rare deal by digging up an old Zillow listing that was incorrectly described as a singlefamily home. He was able to get seller financing for the deal, and today, it brings in $160,000 per year!

Of course, this success story had its fair share of hiccups. Adam shares how he had to bring in a partner to take down the deal and identify creative ways to add value to the property before charging his ideal nightly rate. He also talks about the challenges of outofstate investing and why building a strong investing team has been the key to his success!
