Turning $5K Into a Real Estate Empire

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In this episode, we’re joined by Manny Castillo, a standout member of the creative finance community, who shares his incredible journey into real estate. Manny walks us through a life-changing portfolio deal involving three townhouses in Augusta, Georgia. Discover how creative financing helped him save on taxes, negotiate effectively, and transform these properties into high-cash-flow investments—all while maintaining his integrity and community focus. Let’s dive into the details! Highlights "The only reason I’m buying these townhomes is because of that third one—and then silence." "Seller finance isn’t just about a higher purchase price; it’s about spreading out taxes and maximizing gains." "From a $5,000 investment to $45,000 profit—it’s all because of creative finance." "You don’t need to reinvent the wheel; you just need to take action and add your flavor."
