Creative Wholesaling And Creative Financing Investor | 20+ Years in Real Estate Part 1
The Eric Lindsey Show

Episode Summary
Damon Boudreaux built the foundation of his real estate career on a single deal that cost him $13 out of pocket. While working a full-time W2 job with no savings, no connections, and no prior experience, Damon negotiated his first lease option with a homeowner behind on payments — no bank, no mortgage in his name, and no money down beyond the cost of a For Sale sign. That one deal set the model he'd repeat, and a subsequent layoff pushed him to go all in on real estate rather than look for another job.
Key Takeaways
The first deal: Damon controlled a property through a lease option, found a cash buyer, collected monthly cash flow, and earned a payday when the buyer eventually purchased — total entry cost: $13.
Nights and weekends first: He built and tested the model while still working his W2 job, keeping risk low until the strategy was proven.
The layoff: It hit right as he'd closed deal one and was mid-contract on deal two — a fork between finding another job or committing fully to what was already working.
The exit wasn't impulsive: Momentum from proven deals drove the transition, not a leap of faith.
What This Means for W2 Professionals
Real estate doesn't require abandoning income before replacing it. Damon's path shows the value of building a working model, staying consistent, and having proof of concept before making the leap — not quitting on a whim.
