Her first deal? Wholesaling a property in three hours for <strong style="color: inherit;">$17,000 profit</strong> – and she's never looked back!</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">Ron LeGrand's Legacy & Realtor Superpowers:</strong> Lisa credits a <strong style="color: inherit;">Ron LeGrand course</strong> for igniting her creative financing journey. As a seasoned realtor, she leverages deep <strong style="color: inherit;">market knowledge</strong> (knowing which two blocks to avoid and where to buy!) to quickly run numbers and make offers, giving her a serious edge in <strong style="color: inherit;">Central Texas (Belton, Temple, Taylor, Fort Hood)</strong> – everywhere <em style="color: inherit;">but</em> Austin!</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">Win-Win Negotiations for Distressed Sellers:</strong> Learn Lisa's approach to seller financing: always offer a <strong style="color: inherit;">higher purchase price</strong> and sell the <strong style="color: inherit;">payment amount</strong> (never the interest rate!). She focuses on creating <strong style="color: inherit;">win-win scenarios</strong> where sellers feel heard and get flexible solutions, even for those with no equity or facing tough situations.</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">Private Money Magic: Just Ask!</strong> Lisa's secret to raising capital? <strong style="color: inherit;">Simply ask!</strong> Her first private lender was a good friend at McDonald's (true story!). She views it as offering an <em style="color: inherit;">opportunity</em> for investors to make their money work for them, not begging. Her deals average <strong style="color: inherit;">$200K-$300K</strong> and offer <strong style="color: inherit;">12%+ returns</strong>, because as she says, "if you have a good deal, the money is the easiest part."</li><li><strong style="color: inherit;">Why Diligence & Community Matter:</strong> Lisa uses tools like <strong style="color: inherit;">RehabValuator</strong> and creates professional reports (Canva, anyone?) to make her deals attractive. She emphasizes proactive communication with lenders (even using platforms like SiteWire for draws). Plus, she champions local networking with her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/dealmakercentex" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;"><strong>Centex Dealmakers Group</strong></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/dealmakercentex" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">, </a>bringing integrity, training, and real-world deals to Austin's real estate community.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Lisa Farris is living proof that you don't need deep pockets to build a thriving real estate business.
