Will Real Estate Investing Without Cash or Credit Work Where You Live?
In today’s short blog post, I wanna answer the question, “Todd, will your methods of investing in real estate, without cash or credit, work in my area where I live?”
And the answer is “no”, it probably won’t work… but if you move away it’ll probably start working! LOL
But seriously, if there are houses where you live, then yes, the methods that I teach of buying property without cash or credit will definitely work in the area that you live!
That little joke comes from the fact that most people are always looking for an excuse to talk themselves out of their own success… Whereas successful people are always looking to be the exception to the rules of mediocrity, that others choose to live by.
Anywhere there are houses, there’s always a demand for real estate investing, because everybody’s gotta live somewhere.
And the situations that allow us to buy houses without cash or credit occur to everybody, in every area.
People are having job transfers, people are losing their jobs, people are getting promoted, people are getting demoted.
People are dying, people are being born. As the family expands, the family may need to get a bigger house, and eventually they may need to move to a different school district.
When there’s a death in the family and the deceased owned real estate, that often creates probate and estate settlement situations.
And the answer is “no”, it probably won’t work… but if you move away it’ll probably start working! LOL

People get sick, right? They have hospitals where you live, and they have houses where you live, and sometimes health becomes a more important consideration than the price, or terms, that they get for the house. The urgency of health concerns often becomes more important than waiting to try to get top dollar for the house, because they need to do something quickly.
Oftentimes the Seller’s need or desire to sell a house quickly may have nothing to do with financial distress, it’s that selling the house will give them peace of mind, so that they can focus on other more urgent matters in their life.
There are a lot of people in time-sensitive situations who need our help, and that’s why the methods I teach will work where you live, because these situations happen to everybody, in every market, in every city, everywhere.
Now if you live in a city that’s so tiny that there’s just not a lot of opportunity, then probably within an hour or two of where you live, you can drive to a larger city where there is more opportunity (i.e. more houses). But I know a lot of investors who have made a lot of money in small towns.
In fact, one of my most successful students, Gary Cassady, makes money in Mansfield, Ohio. I’m from Columbus, Ohio, the capital city, and to me Mansfield is just a small town. But Gary does very well there.
In addition to that, I know several investors who have done very well in the Springfield and Dayton areas of Ohio. Again I’m from the capital city and we’ve got a metropolitan area of a little over 2 million people. So to me, Springfield, Dayton, Mansfield… these are all small cities in Ohio, and people are making money in these areas.
The bottom line is that these methods work if… you work them. It doesn’t matter where you live. If you live in a town so small that you’ve only got 2 or 3 stoplights, then just drive to a larger metropolitan area if you have to, and make it happen!
