Today, we’ve got something special. We’re diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: stay-at-home moms and dads making it big in real estate through creative finance.

I recently had the privilege of hanging out with Lath, a rockstar stay-at-home mom from our SubTo community, who’s not only crushing it as a private money lender but doing it all from home while raising her kids.

If you’re a parent trying to find a balance between family and financial independence, this article is for you!

Meet Lath: The Stay-at-Home Mom Who’s Redefining Success

Lath is not just any investor; she’s a proud member of the Subto community and a full-fledged Gator lender.

What’s even more impressive?

She’s doing all this from her home while taking care of her kids. I know a lot of parents who feel the struggle to find that balance, and that’s why Lath’s story is so inspiring.

She’s proof that you can thrive financially without sacrificing time with your family.

Lath’s Journey into Real Estate and Gator Lending

Lath didn’t start off with years of real estate experience under her belt. Like many of you, she came across our community and found the spark that changed her life. Here’s how she got started:

• The First Deal: Lath’s journey began when she connected with Jake Vilet, one of our Gator leaders. He introduced her to Gator lending, and she was off to the races.
• The Turning Point: Lath’s first Gator deal was a small one, but it opened the door to a whole new world of opportunities. That initial deal was just the start, leading to more connections, deals, and eventually consistent cash flow.

Breaking Down One of Lath’s Big Wins

Let’s talk about one of Lath’s recent Gator deals—a prime example of how this strategy can generate impressive returns with minimal effort:

The Deal Details:

• Investment Amount: $36,500
• Deal Type: First-position loan for a property acquired at auction
• Return: 35% in just 60 days
• Total Profit: Nearly $15,000 (including late fees)

This deal was with an investor who’s focused on buying properties at auction, renovating them, and then selling them for a profit. Lath provided the $36,500 needed to acquire the property, earning a solid return for a short-term loan.

The Power of Building Relationships in Real Estate

One of the most important lessons Lath learned is the power of relationships. Real estate is all about connecting with people, whether it’s other investors, connectors, or even potential clients. Lath’s success with Gator lending is largely due to her ability to build trust with her partners. Here's how she did it:

• Networking within the SubTo Community: Lath didn’t just wait for deals to come to her. She actively built relationships with connectors and other Gators in our community.
• Being Consistent and Trustworthy: When deals were delayed, Lath made sure she got paid for every extra day, but she remained patient and understanding—a crucial trait in this business.
• Repeat Business: Her first Gator partner has already done five more deals with her, and she’s become a go-to lender in the community.

Why Gator Lending Is Perfect for Stay-at-Home Parents

Now, let’s talk about why Gator lending can be an amazing opportunity for stay-at-home moms and dads:

• Flexible Work Hours: You don’t need to be glued to your phone or computer all day. Lath makes most of her deals happen while her kids nap or play.
• Quick Returns: Deals typically last anywhere from 30 to 90 days, offering fast returns on investment.
• Low Entry Barrier: You don’t need to start with a huge amount of money. Even small investments can yield big returns if you know where to look and who to partner with.
• No Need for Traditional Real Estate Skills: You don’t need to worry about cold calling, door knocking, or negotiating with sellers. You’re simply funding deals that are already structured and ready to go.

Tips for Parents Looking to Get Started in Real Estate

If you’re a stay-at-home parent looking to get into Gator lending or real estate investing, here’s what you need to know:

• Start Small: Lath’s first deal wasn’t massive, but it was enough to build confidence and experience. You can start with a smaller amount and gradually scale up.
• Leverage the Community: Being part of the SubTo community is one of the best things you can do to fast-track your success. Lath found her first Gator deal through a connection she made within the group, and the rest is history.
• Focus on Building Relationships: Don’t just aim to fund one deal. Aim to build lasting relationships with investors and connectors who can bring you consistent deal flow.
• Stay Organized: Keep track of all your deals, profits, and timelines. Lath keeps everything in a spreadsheet, which helps her stay on top of her earnings and progress.

The Bigger Picture: How Lath Is Inspiring Other Parents

Lath’s story isn’t just about making money; it’s about creating a lifestyle that aligns with her values. She’s setting an example for her children by showing them that it’s possible to pursue dreams and achieve financial freedom, all while being present at home.

She’s also paying it forward by helping other stay-at-home parents get started in Gator lending. Lath’s goal is to build a team of stay-at-home moms and dads who can earn substantial incomes without missing out on their kids' milestones.

Final Thoughts

Lath is proof that Gator lending and real estate investing aren’t just for seasoned pros or full-time entrepreneurs. It’s a strategy that anyone, even stay-at-home parents, can use to create significant income.
