After 15 years in dentistry, she stumbled into a part-time paperwork job for a real estate investing company. As she absorbed information and Googled unfamiliar terms like "LTV" and "ARV," she became fascinated with the possibilities of real estate โ€“ particularly creative financing methods. Fast forward eight years, and she now runs her own successful company with a diverse investment portfolio! ๐Ÿš€ FRANKENSTEIN FUNDING EXPLAINED What makes Amanda"s approach unique is her mastery of creative financing. Beyond traditional seller financing and subject-to deals, she utilizes whole life insurance policies as funding vehicles (controversial but effective for her), business credit opportunities, and corporate EIN credit lines. This cocktail of financing strategies โ€“ dubbed "Frankenstein Funding" โ€“ allows her to leverage multiple capital sources simultaneously for maximum impact. ๐Ÿ’ณ๐Ÿฆ THE LAND APPRECIATION STRATEGY Amanda"s current focus is on strategic land acquisition, particularly RV parks. Her brilliant twist? She buys RV parks in the path of development (30 minutes outside major metros like Reno and areas in Southern Florida) to cash flow the land while waiting for metropolitan expansion. Once development reaches her property, she either sells to developers or builds multifamily housing herself โ€“ a dual income strategy that maximizes both immediate cash flow and long-term appreciation! ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ•๏ธ INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION METHODS One of the most fascinating segments of our conversation centered around Amanda"s exploration of 3D-printed concrete homes for her Florida developments. While still in the planning stages, these structures would offer superior hurricane resistance, potentially reducing insurance costs in high-risk areas. This forward-thinking approach to construction technology demonstrates her innovative mindset toward solving real estate challenges. ๐Ÿ—๏ธ๐ŸŒช๏ธ UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES Perhaps the most surprising revelation was Amanda"s partnership with a gold mining company โ€“ a connection made literally by walking onto the wrong floor of a building! This serendipitous meeting led to a partnership where Amanda helps lease land for gold extraction operations, showing how real estate expertise can create value in unexpected industries. As she puts it, "You can make money out of dirt in so many different ways." โ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž Whether you"re interested in creative financing, land development strategies, or innovative ways to maximize returns, this episode delivers actionable insights from a true real estate innovator. Amanda"s journey proves that with the right mindset and creativity, real estate can open doors you never even knew existed!
