Many buyers today have the income and cash to purchase a home but can’t qualify for financing right away. In this episode, we talk about how rent-to-own programs are helping bridge that gap — offering a path to homeownership for people leaving corporate jobs or starting new businesses who simply need time to “season” their income. It’s a look at how creative solutions are opening doors for true buyers ready to own, not just rent.

When Lynne Mazin first started in real estate, she didn’t just wait for opportunities to show up. She built them by creating her “Hot 100”—a carefully chosen list of people in related industries who could become trusted allies. From attorneys to architects, she invested the time to connect and nurture those relationships. That network became the foundation for her growth in one of the most competitive markets in the country.

If you want your events to grow, you need to treat them like a system, not a scramble. Every great event starts with a checklist you can repeat year after year — from concept and marketing to follow-up and thank-yous. Build it once, refine it each time, and scaling from one to four events becomes effortless. Consistency isn’t boring — it’s how you create unforgettable experiences without the chaos.
