Everyone's watching the wrong thing. While people wait for 21 million Boomer homes to crash the housing market, there's $900 billion in Main Street businesses quietly for sale - and almost nobody under 40 is paying attention.

In this episode, we dive into the real Boomer wealth transfer that's happening right now. Not their primary residences, but their businesses and the commercial real estate attached to them. From pizza shops to roofing companies to manufacturing facilities, these deals come with a unique opportunity: sellers often treat the real estate as an afterthought, focused entirely on their business valuation.

We break down sale-leaseback strategies, creative financing structures, and a wild example of someone who bought a $15 million business with minimal capital, sold the real estate, paid off the business entirely, and walked away with a $20 million exit two years later.

Plus, why the next generation doesn't want what their parents built, and what that means for investors willing to step in.

Most real estate investors say they want freedom. Financial freedom. Time freedom. Life on their terms. But very few are actually willing to do what it takes to get there.

In this episode, we talk about why most investors never scale past a handful of units, why comfort is the real enemy, and why knowledge without commitment keeps people stuck for years. We break down the difference between motivation and discipline, why going all in mentally matters more than tactics, and why real estate is not about money at all. It is about autonomy.

If you have read the books, listened to the podcasts, gone to the events, and still feel stuck, this conversation is going to challenge you. This is not about hype. It is about taking an honest look at whether you actually want freedom or just like the idea of it.

In this episode of Zero to 100, Gabriel Hamel breaks down how he built a real estate portfolio of nearly 400 properties without relying on banks, traditional loans, or large amounts of cash.

Originally recorded on the Clint Coons Esq Podcast, this conversation dives deep into creative financing strategies that most investors either misunderstand or completely ignore.

Gabriel shares his real story, starting with joining the Army National Guard at 17, getting deployed to Iraq, coming home with no money, no job, and no degree, and realizing that traditional paths were not going to give him freedom. After the 2008 crash shut him out of bank lending entirely, he was forced to find another way. That pressure led him to seller financing.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How seller financing actually works in the real world
• Why “no money down” deals are not sketchy or illegal when structured correctly
• Who the real sellers are that want to carry financing and why
• How to find deals without agents, banks, or bidding wars
• Why relationships matter more than terms
• How to evaluate creative deals so they cash flow from day one
• The mistakes new investors make that kill good opportunities

This is not theory. This is not hype. This is a long form, honest conversation about how real estate deals actually get done when the system tells you no.

If you are stuck waiting on banks, saving for down payments, or being told creative financing does not exist in your market, this episode will reset how you think about investing.

Listen all the way through. The biggest lessons are not about real estate. They are about leverage, trust, and playing a different game.
