Join us as we unpack the extraordinary journey of Zack Gray from Freedom Management, who skyrocketed from owning zero to 270 units in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and a suburb market outside of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Zack reveals the meticulous investment criteria and financial performance goals that have been the cornerstones of Freedom Management’s impressive growth.
If you've ever wondered how to align interests with investors while maximizing returns, this episode is for you. Zack provides an in-depth look at Freedom Management’s innovative strategy, which integrates closing cost credits and acquisition fees into loans to enhance cash-on-cash returns and reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
By guaranteeing an 8% preferred return and using a 50-50 equity split, the firm ensures that both investors and operators are mutually incentivized.
Learn how their approach of refinancing 100% of the proceeds back to investors not only secures capital but also enables operators to grow their net worth without locking up their own funds.
Success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about creating life-changing opportunities.
Zack emphasizes the critical role of mentorship, the importance of hard work over raw talent, and the value of having role models. For those keen to connect and grow in the real estate world, he shares his favorite resources and invites listeners to follow him on social media for more insights and updates.

The Advantages of Terms Business, with Ron LeGrand
Real Estate Underground
11/01/22 • 35 min
Welcome To The Real Estate Underground Show #40!
Ron LeGrand first got involved with real estate; he was a dead-broke auto mechanic trying to make enough money to make ends meet. There was no such thing as disposable income around his house, and it was all disposed of before he got it. Thirty-five years old, bankrupt, and didn't know what he wanted when growing up, he knew it wasn't fixing cars in the hot Florida sun.
The year was 1982. Ron saw an ad that said, "Come learn how to buy real estate with no money or credit." That appealed to him because he had no money or credit and liked the rich idea. So, he attended the free seminar.
After more years, Ron bought and sold nearly 2,000 houses and still does.
Over the years, Ron created a mountain of home study products, written millions of words in print, and shared the platform with past presidents, movie stars, actors, politicians, sports heroes, business leaders, super wealthy from all professions, and some of the best speakers in the world. He has spoken to audiences as small as 20 and as large as 20,000 in hotel meeting rooms and coliseums across North America.
Ron's legacy has spread like a swarm of locusts, and his positive impact will affect thousands (maybe millions now). New generations will profit directly or indirectly because they attended one of his seminars, then used the information and passed it on. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Ron spends much of his time in front of good people who are serious about getting rich and will do what it takes to become one of the 3% who can say and prove they have achieved true wealth.
