Chris Prefontaine: Top Creative Financing Strategies for Real Estate Success

Today, I welcome Chris Prefontaine to The Gould Mine.

Chris is the founder of Smart Real Estate Coach and one of the nation’s leading experts in creative financing strategies - acquiring real estate without using your own cash, credit, or traditional bank loans.

After getting crushed in the 2008 financial crisis, Chris rebuilt his entire business from the ground up - this time, with a laser focus on long-term wealth and recession-proof deal structures. Today, he and his students operate in over 80 markets across the U.S., helping investors close deals using terms like owner financing, subject-to, and lease purchase agreements.

In this episode, Chris breaks down the “Three Paydays” system he’s developed to create upfront income, monthly cash flow, and long-term equity on every deal. We talk about how to identify the right seller leads, how to ethically and legally structure terms deals, and why this model works regardless of interest rates or market cycles.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to escape the transactional treadmill, this conversation will give you a blueprint for sustainable, scalable investing - without relying on banks or hard money.

Welcome Chris, to The Gould Mine.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
