The Yoked Podcast

This is Episode 25 of the Yoked Podcast — and it drops on Ingrid’s birthday! 🥳

Today, we’re breaking down 17 real-world ways to get out of a tough real estate deal — whether you’re stuck with a bad flip, an unsellable home, or a property you no longer want. From traditional price drops and DSCR refis to wild creative exits like sober living partnerships and novation agreements, this episode is a full-blown brainstorm session straight from our whiteboard to your ears.

🔑 What You'll Learn:

• When to pivot from selling to renting (and what type of rental makes sense)

• How creative financing (subject-to, wraparound, lease options) can save a deal

• Why failing fast is sometimes the smartest move

• Unique ways to turn a property into cash flow: co-living, glamping, rezoning, & more

• The mindset shift that helped us not feel stuck — even when losing money

🎧 Whether you're a homeowner, flipper, landlord, or burned-out investor — this one’s for YOU.
