In this episode, I sit down with Sawand Belcher to break down one of the most inspiring real estate journeys you’ll hear.

Sawand went from being a car salesman to a full-time real estate investor by mastering creative financing—and he didn’t stop at small deals. Using owner financing, he secured his $1.2 million dream home on a 22 acre farm, a strategy so innovative he coined the term “farm hacking.”

In this interview, we cover:

• How Sawand transitioned out of a 9–5 into real estate full time
• What creative financing really looks like in practice
• How owner financing works for high-value properties
• The exact mindset shift needed to negotiate win-win deals
• Why land and farm properties can unlock massive income opportunity

If you’ve ever felt limited by banks, credit requirements, or lack of capital, this conversation will completely change how you think about buying real estate. This is a must-watch for investors who want to scale smarter, think bigger, and build wealth on their own terms.

What if renting your property by the room could earn you twice the income of renting it to just one tenant?

In this episode, I sit down with busy tech founder Fitz Light, who made a bold real estate move—choosing room rental investing over traditional long-term renting. Instead of leasing his townhome as a standard 3-bedroom, Fitz strategically converted it into a 5-bedroom co-living property.

The result?

✔️ 2X the rental income
✔️ Increased cash flow without buying another property
✔️ A scalable strategy that fits a busy entrepreneur’s lifestyle

In this conversation, we break down:

Why Fitz chose room rentals over a single tenant
How converting a 3-bed into a 5-bed changed the numbers
The real cash flow difference between traditional renting vs renting by the room
Who room rental investing is best for (and who should avoid it)
If you’re a real estate investor, house hacker, or entrepreneur looking to maximize cash flow without constantly chasing new deals, this episode is for you.
