In this mid-year solo episode, I’m getting real with you—no guests, no fluff. Just a straight talk on why you might be the one holding yourself back in real estate right now. It’s not the market. It’s not the economy. It’s not the tools. It’s how you’re thinking, what you’re prioritizing, and whether or not you’re actually committed to your escape plan.
I unpack why now—yes, now—is one of the best times I’ve seen in my 33+ years in the business to get started in creative real estate. And I challenge you with some deep gut-check questions to figure out where you really are, where you want to go, and what’s stopping you from getting there.
Whether you’re a W2 employee thinking of leaving your job, a burned-out landlord, or a wholesaler leaving deals on the table—this is your call to action.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your CPA is leaving money on the table, this episode will confirm your suspicion and give you the tools to fix it.
Thomas shares eye-opening stories of tax returns gone wrong, the truth behind cost segregation and depreciation, and how strategic planning done proactively can unlock massive wealth preservation.

What separates those who just dabble in real estate from those who build real freedom? After a decade in the business, coaching thousands of students, and scaling my own portfolio—I can tell you this: success isn’t about talent. It’s about traits.
In today’s solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 9 traits that our most successful associates, apprentices, and real estate partners demonstrate every day. These traits aren’t flashy. They’re foundational. And they’ll change the way you operate if you commit to them.
Whether you’re brand new or scaling your real estate business, this episode will help you self-audit your habits, refocus your energy, and get real about what it takes to win.

Tim and Sandra share their journey from doing deals the traditional way to successfully closing their first creative financing deal with the Wicked Smart® community despite all the life chaos happening behind the scenes.
We talk about the systems that helped them close the deal, how they sourced a buyer using our in-house platform, and why they’re excited about doing more rent-to-own deals instead of dealing with rental headaches.

In this deeply inspiring and value-packed episode, I reconnect with my good friend and real estate powerhouse Dwan Bent-Twyford. Known as the Queen of Short Sales, Dwan returns to the show with a remarkable update that goes way beyond deals and numbers. Since her last appearance on Episode 213, she’s navigated one of the most challenging seasons of her life—supporting her husband through a rare blood disorder and a two-year recovery inside a highly controlled environment.
But as you’ll hear, Dwan didn’t let those two years off the real estate grid slow her down. In fact, she came back swinging. She and her husband now own 28 buildings in Clinton, Iowa, where they’re leading the charge on revitalizing an entire downtown. We talk about how they’re creating generational wealth, the power of creative financing, and how she’s turning vision into reality—one block at a time. You’ll also hear why market conditions don’t have to dictate your success and how to spot hidden opportunities in overlooked areas.

This episode is a special one, Wicked Smart listeners—episode 500! And to mark the occasion, we’re flipping the script. I step into the hot seat while three of our top Wicked Smart Coaches—Russell Ham, Mike Makredes, and Rick Abbiati—take over and put me on the spot with questions that dig deep into the journey, the lessons, and the long game of building a creative real estate business.We cover everything from how I’d start over today, to managing market shifts, scaling with the right hires, and why I believe so strongly in coaching. Whether you’re brand new or you’ve been grinding for years, you’ll hear hard-earned insight and practical tips that can help you go further, faster—with fewer bumps along the way.
Timeline Summary
[0:00] - Introduction
[1:32] - How the creative real estate landscape has shifted—and why adaptability is key
[3:02] - Why market changes don’t mean pivoting entirely, but shifting your approach
[7:03] - The two hires I’d make on day one if I were starting over
[10:32] - What kept me moving forward when everything felt like it was falling apart
[15:45] - Stacking consistent habits vs. chasing shiny objects in real estate
[18:13] - How I decide whether to cash out or hold long-term on a deal
[23:24] - Why owner financing is still my favorite strategy for building wealth
[27:57] - How coaching has impacted the business—and the personal growth of our team
[34:00] - Our coaches share their transformations and biggest breakthroughs
[37:39] - Looking ahead to QLS Live 2025 and what we’re bringing to Boston5 Key Takeaways:
1. Adaptability is everything: Real estate markets shift, but success comes from knowing how to fish in new ponds—not switching your whole strategy.
2. Start with support: If I had to start over, I’d hire an executive assistant and a VA from day one to stay focused on high-value activities.
3. Stack before you pivot: Master one niche before jumping into another. Consistency always beats jumping from shiny object to shiny object.
4. Coaching isn’t just about deals: Coaching accelerates your growth, sharpens your skills, and gives you the confidence to lead.
5. Owner financing is a wealth builder: It may be harder to understand at first, but when structured right, it delivers six-figure paydays and long-term wins.

Wicked Smart listeners, get ready for an insightful conversation on scaling your business the smart way. In this episode, I sit down with Solomon Thimothy, an entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience in growth marketing. As the founder of OneIMS and co-founder of ClickX, Solomon has helped businesses overcome growth plateaus and achieve measurable, sustainable success.
We discuss the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face when trying to scale, the key mindset shifts needed to break through revenue ceilings, and why AI is becoming a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize operations. Solomon shares real-world strategies for accelerating growth, leveraging data-driven marketing, and making smarter business decisions. Whether you’re a solopreneur or running a multi-million-dollar company, this episode is packed with insights you can apply immediately.
Episode Highlights[0:00] – Introduction
[2:20] – How Solomon went from self-taught web developer to helping businesses scale through data-driven marketing.
[4:26] – The turning point that forced him to pivot from website development to full-scale lead generation.
[7:38] – The biggest mistake small business owners make when trying to grow.
[10:19] – The revenue thresholds where businesses typically hit roadblocks and how to break through.
[12:31] – Why mindset is often the biggest bottleneck in scaling a business.
[14:47] – How digital marketing and AI can accelerate business growth without increasing headcount.
[19:06] – The evolving role of AI in sales and marketing, and why businesses need to adapt now.
[24:58] – How AI is eliminating inefficiencies and making businesses more profitable.
[26:42] – The future of scaling: why companies that embrace AI will have the biggest competitive advantage.
Five Key Takeaways
1. Scaling requires more than just working harder. Many entrepreneurs believe they need to add more services or expand their offerings, but true growth comes from refining and doubling down on what works.
2. Lead generation is more important than aesthetics. Having a great-looking website or social media presence means nothing if it does not generate revenue. Businesses must focus on conversion-driven strategies.
3. AI is the next competitive advantage. Businesses that leverage AI for automation, marketing, and sales optimization will outperform those that rely on traditional methods.
4. Mindset is often the biggest obstacle. Entrepreneurs who struggle to scale usually have internal roadblocks rather than external ones. Identifying and addressing these limitations is key.
5. Cutting unnecessary expenses accelerates growth. Many businesses waste money on ineffective marketing strategies. Analyzing ROI and reallocating resources to high-impact activities is essential for sustainable success.

Ever wondered how to break into U.S. real estate investing—even if you’re based in another country? This week, I sit down with Glen Sutherland, a Canadian investor who successfully scaled his real estate business by expanding into the U.S. Glen shares the advantages of investing across borders, including access to creative financing strategies, long-term mortgages, and public data that makes deal sourcing easier.
We dive into the step-by-step process of setting up a remote investing operation, from choosing the right markets to building a reliable team on the ground. Glen also shares key insights on structuring deals, financing options, and the biggest mistakes international investors make when entering the U.S. market. If you’ve ever considered investing outside your home country, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you get started.
Episode Highlights
[0:00] – Introduction
[2:00] – How Glen transitioned from investing in Canada to the U.S.
[4:05] – The biggest advantages of investing in the U.S. market
[7:18] – How to build and manage a real estate team remotely
[10:09] – Creative financing strategies: sub-to deals, seller financing, and lease options
[12:32] – The importance of having multiple contractors and property managers
[15:33] – Generating leads through property managers, contractors, and attorneys
[17:05] – Common tax and legal pitfalls for Canadians investing in the U.S.
[20:50] – How Glen helps others break into U.S. real estate investing
[23:10] – Understanding corporate structures for tax efficiency
[25:35] – Why 30-year mortgages in the U.S. offer more stability than Canada’s system
[27:00] – The role of public data access in making informed investment decisions
Key Takeaways
1. U.S. real estate offers more creative financing opportunities – Investors can leverage strategies like subject-to deals, seller financing, and lease options, which are harder to execute in Canada due to regulations.
2. Building a strong remote team is crucial – Success in out-of-state or international investing depends on hiring reliable contractors, property managers, and local experts to manage properties effectively.
3. Understanding tax structures can save investors thousands – Canadian investors need to structure their U.S. investments properly to avoid double taxation and optimize for cross-border tax benefits.
4. Having access to public data gives U.S. investors a competitive edge – Unlike Canada, the U.S. provides easy access to property sales history, ownership details, and mortgage information, making it easier to analyze deals.
5. Long-term fixed-rate mortgages provide stability – The U.S. mortgage system allows for 30-year fixed loans, which help investors predict cash flow and avoid financial uncertainty when interest rates change.
