“Why Election Results Won’t Stop You from Building Wealth in Real Estate Without Your Own Money, Credit, or Even Buying Property” – Ron LeGrand

Every election season, the market fills with predictions, worries, and speculation. But if you’re a smart real estate investor, using terms and wholesaling, the results of any election won’t slow you down. Whether you’re using subject-to deals, lease options, or flipping properties through wholesaling, the fact is, politicians and policy changes just don’t control the deals you make.

Here’s why election results don’t matter when you’re investing in real estate without using your own money, credit—or even owning the property:

1. Wholesaling Thrives in Any Market
   Wholesaling is about finding motivated sellers, securing properties under contract, and flipping those contracts to cash buyers for a fee. The beauty of wholesaling is that you don’t need to buy or hold the property. You’re simply acting as the middleman. Whether the market’s hot or cooling off, there are always cash buyers out there ready to buy a good deal—and motivated sellers ready to make a move.
2. Motivated Sellers Don’t Wait for Election Results
   People constantly find themselves in situations where they need to sell fast—divorce, inheritance, job relocation, or financial stress. These circumstances don’t change because of an election. A motivated seller isn’t interested in the latest poll results—they want a solution. If you can solve their problem quickly with terms or a wholesale deal, they’ll move forward.
3. Subject-To and Lease Options Give You Flexibility
   When you invest with subject-to deals or lease options, you’re leveraging the seller’s existing financing or setting up terms directly with the seller. You’re not relying on banks, so it doesn’t matter if credit requirements change or interest rates rise. With subject-to deals, you simply take over the seller’s mortgage payments; with lease options, you set up a rent-to-own arrangement. Neither requires your own money or credit, and both allow you to take control of a property without getting bogged down by the economy.
4. Wholesaling Adds Cash Flow, Fast
   Wholesaling is a quick-cash strategy. You’re finding the deal, locking it up under contract, and selling it to a buyer who wants to fix and flip or hold it. If you’re skilled at sourcing leads, wholesaling lets you generate significant income without ever holding the property yourself. Election results can create a sense of uncertainty in the market, which often leads to more motivated sellers—a perfect scenario for wholesalers who know how to move fast.
5. Owner Financing Stays Strong Regardless of Economic Policy
   In an owner-financed deal, you don’t need a bank or traditional lender—the seller finances the property directly to you. This structure keeps you insulated from market swings and credit restrictions. When sellers are looking to move fast and cash out, owner financing can be an ideal solution. No credit checks, no down payments—just terms that you negotiate directly with the seller, giving you flexibility regardless of who’s in office.
6. Focus on Finding and Controlling Deals, Not Policy Changes
   The key to real estate investing is finding deals and controlling properties, not waiting for the “right” market conditions. Motivated sellers and cash buyers create opportunities year-round. By focusing on wholesaling, terms, and structuring deals directly with sellers, you’re building wealth and cash flow without relying on banks or personal credit.

Bottom Line: Use Every Tool in Your Toolbox
When you’re using terms, wholesaling, and owner financing, election results are just background noise. Real estate investing without your own money or credit allows you to stay flexible and adapt to whatever the market throws at you. Stick to strategies that work regardless of political shifts, and keep your focus on finding motivated sellers, creating win-win deals, and generating cash flow.

Whether you’re wholesaling, flipping contracts, or structuring terms directly with sellers, you’re in control of your success. So, while others are debating election outcomes, keep your attention on what matters: growing your real estate business without relying on traditional financing.

This Thursday and Friday (Nov7-8), I’ll be hosting a free training on just this. In fact, on the second day, my acquisitionist Adel Kayati and I will demonstrate practical methods for sourcing leads and taking action on them with our updated DREAMS software.
