In this episode of REIA Radio, we sit down with Abe Garcia—a former auto industry veteran turned real estate agent and investor—to hear how he made the leap from selling cars to selling homes… and ultimately stacking up his first two deals through creative financing. Abe opens up about leaving behind the dealership grind to spend more time with his kids, why his first deal nearly turned into a disaster (involving frozen pipes and a collapsed ceiling), and how he locked down two South Omaha properties using deferred owner financing.

Abe breaks down exactly how he structured both deals, sold them using lease options, and now cash flows $500–$600/month—despite having no background in construction or investing. He also reflects on what he wishes he knew going in, his thoughts on refinancing vs. renegotiating, and the valuable lessons he’s learned from the school of hard knocks.

This is a must-listen for any aspiring investor who thinks they need all the answers before jumping in. Spoiler: You don’t. You just need to get moving.
