The Secret Loan That Lets You Buy a Fixer-Upper With 3.5% Down — And Skip the Renovation Bill | Sal Rizzolo
1w ago00:36:08Summary readyIn this episode, I sat down with 10-year mortgage industry veteran Sal Rizzolo, Branch Manager at New American Funding, to unpack what's really happening on the front lines of lending right now. We talked about how AI is rapidly automating cookie-cutter loans — and how companies like Freedom Mortgage and Better Mortgage are already racing to cut human loan officers out of the equation. But instead of treating that as a death sentence, Sal breaks down exactly how he and his team are future-proofing themselves by mastering the 203K renovation loan — an FHA product that lets buyers purchase and renovate a home simultaneously with as little as 3.5% down. We dove deep into how this product creates supply in markets starved for inventory, how realtors can use it to close deals they would have otherwise lost, how homeowners can renovate without selling their low-rate mortgage, and why the most complex, human-intensive deals will always need a skilled loan officer who knows what no AI ever will. Sal Rizzolo Sal Rizzolo is a Branch Manager and Senior Loan Officer at New American Funding, based in Long Island, New York, with a growing presence in Florida. With over 10 years in the mortgage industry, Sal got his start after leaving a career as a hairdresser and was mentored by industry veteran Frank, who introduced him to the business and shaped his client-first philosophy. Over the past decade, Sal has built a reputation as one of the go-to specialists in renovation lending — particularly FHA 203K loans — becoming a pioneer of what he calls "ending renovation discrimination" in real estate markets. He operates across nearly all 50 states and is known for working with complex borrower profiles that other lenders pass on: lower credit scores, higher debt-to-income ratios, and buyers with limited down payments. Sal has hosted seminars for real estate agents throughout Long Island, converting educational events into lasting referral partnerships. He is NMLS licensed (#1489171) and is part of the Capo DiBug Team Northeast at New American Funding.

SummaryReal Estate's Best Kept Secret: How the 203K Loan Turns a $9,500 Investment Into $180K of Equity | Matt Porcaro
2w ago00:42:28Summary readyIn this episode, I sit down with my guy Matt Porcaro — the founder of The 203K Way — who breaks down one of the most underutilized financing strategies in all of real estate: the FHA 203K renovation loan. Matt shares how he turned a $9,500 down payment into over $180,000 in equity in just eight months by purchasing a run-down Long Island duplex, wrapping the renovation costs directly into his mortgage, and living in one unit while the tenant in the other essentially covered his housing costs. We go deep on how this loan works for first-time buyers, existing homeowners who want to renovate without touching their cash, and even real estate agents who need a fresh edge in a slow inventory market. We also get into the exploding world of ADUs — accessory dwelling units — and how new FHA, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac guidelines are opening up virtually the entire single-family housing stock to house hackers who know where to look. If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for rates to drop or inventory to open up, this episode will completely change how you think about the opportunity in front of you right now.

SummaryStop Buying Single Family Homes — Here's How to Build Real Wealth with Multifamily Real Estate
3w ago00:36:34Summary readyIf you're looking to build passive income through multifamily real estate, Elevest Capital gives you access to exclusive apartment investments not available to the public. Non-accredited investors can participate with as little as $10,000. Get on the Investor List: lfscapital.com In this episode of The MORE Show, I sit down once again with my good friend and business partner Adam Williams, Founder and CEO of Elevest Capital, for a raw and real conversation about what it truly takes to build lasting wealth through real estate. I open up about one of the most painful chapters of my career — losing millions of dollars after scaling too fast, trusting the wrong person, and being too stubborn to pivot out of single family despite being warned by both Adam and Grant Cardone. Rather than wallow in it, I want this story to empower you: there are smarter, more scalable, and more tax-efficient ways to build wealth than grinding through fix-and-flip or single family rentals. Adam breaks down why right now is a once-in-a-cycle perfect storm for multifamily apartment investing — with properties trading at 30-40% discounts, organic rent growth returning, demand outpacing supply, and 100% bonus depreciation back on the table thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill — and how through the MORE Club, everyday investors can get into $40M apartment deals with as little as $10,000, even without being accredited. This episode is about getting out of your own way, finding the right community, and taking real action toward financial freedom.

Andrea shares her remarkable story of being cut from the US Olympic team eight times before finally making the 1994 World Cup roster and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic team, and we dig into the powerful mental frameworks she's developed through decades of working with NFL athletes, Fortune 500 executives, and Special Operations soldiers. We cover the critical difference between persistence and perseverance, why your goal must be bigger than your fear, the danger of tying your entire identity to a single role or achievement, and how the "Confident Performer" framework — built on a foundational pyramid of human-first identity, whole-person health habits, and elite mental skills — can transform the way you show up whether you're on the field or in the boardroom. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, broken promises to yourself, or wondered what separates those who reach the top from those who quit, this conversation will challenge and inspire you in equal measure. --- About Dr Andrea Wieland: Dr. Andrea Wieland is a licensed psychologist, peak performance coach, author, and former Olympic athlete who competed in field hockey at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games — in her own hometown. She holds a PhD in Psychology and an MBA, and brings a rare combination of world-class athletic achievement and clinical expertise to her work. Andrea has coached NFL athletes, Fortune 500 C-suite executives, Special Operations military personnel, and high-performing teams across industries, helping them develop the mental skills, identity clarity, and synergistic confidence needed to excel under pressure. She is the founder of the Confident Performer Academy and the author of The Confident Performer: Rethinking Mental Performance for Athletes, Coaches and Parents. Her proprietary Confident Performer Framework — a three-tiered pyramid covering human-first identity, whole-person health habits, and elite mental skills — has helped clients at every level stop living on a wobbly foundation and build the resilience to bounce back from any setback.

SummaryWe're Done Playing Small: The M.O.R.E. Show Is Here (And Everything Changes)
4w ago00:28:54Tap to summarizeIn this very first episode of The M.O.R.E. Show — which stands for Maximizing Opportunities in Real Estate — I'm sitting down with my business partner Adam Williams to share why I made the decision to walk away from The Science of Flipping after 13 years and thousands of episodes, and what we're building together with timeformore.com. Adam and I have a combined 40 years in real estate, and we've seen the market from every angle — flips, multifamily, commercial — and what we kept coming back to is a massive gap in the space: people have access to education, but almost nobody is actually taking them from learning to doing and closing real deals. That's exactly what the M.O.R.E. ecosystem is designed to fix, built on three pillars — the show, the M.O.R.E. Club (where members analyze, partner on, and do real deals with us), and live events where the most powerful connections actually happen. With the economic landscape shifting fast, AI displacing jobs, the mortgage qualification rate dropping from 75% to 28%, and the wealth gap widening by the day, Adam and I believe this is the most important time to get in the game — and we're here to help you do exactly that. 0:00 Cold open — what the M.O.R.E. community is built for 0:46 Justin officially introduces The M.O.R.E.

In this episode, we cover: - Why land investing is simpler (but not easy) - How to evaluate land deals (road access, flood zones, slope) - Turning “dead leads” into high-profit opportunities - How to structure deals with multiple lots - Creative strategies like owner financing - Why most investors overlook land (and why that’s an advantage) - How to build a remote real estate business --- Connect with Robin Seib: Bio: Robin Seib is a land investing expert and entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience.

SummaryClear and Reload: The West Point Mindset Behind 300 Real Estate Deals a Year | Bobby Kough
Mar 500:43:17Summary readyIn this episode, I sat down with Bobby Kough, a West Point grad, former Army football player, and real estate operator who’s done over a thousand deals and is now running a direct-to-seller business pushing 300 deals a year. We broke down the “clear and reload” mindset he learned through sports psychology at West Point and how that reset tool translates perfectly to real estate when you’re getting rejected nonstop or taking hits on deals. Bobby shared how he started during COVID, how a quick early win gave him confidence, how one ugly “dumpster fire” house taught him the hard way to build a tight buy box, and why going to work for a proven operator helped him shave years off his learning curve. We also got into what it really takes to scale across multiple markets, the marketing channels they’re using, why direct mail still works, and why leadership and people are the hardest part of building a real company. About Bobby: Bobby Kough is a real estate entrepreneur and operator who helps build and scale direct-to-seller home buying organizations in St. Louis, Little Rock, and Wichita. He played football at West Point, graduated in 2015, and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. While serving, Bobby discovered BiggerPockets and began studying real estate in his spare time. He purchased his first property in 2018, saw early success, and used that momentum to start buying distressed homes. After completing several deals, Bobby made a major career pivot — walking away from an engineering path to become an acquisitions representative, where he learned the business from the ground up by sitting at kitchen tables with sellers. Since then, Bobby has partnered with operators to build full-scale organizations focused on sales, operations, and culture. Last year, his teams completed over 300 deals across multiple markets. Bobby is passionate about creating systems that serve sellers with integrity, developing strong leaders, and helping real estate teams grow sustainably while keeping people at the center of every transaction.
