How to Win in Any Market Using Creative Real Estate
Chris Prefontaine recounts his early career, losing everything in the 2008 crash, and how that experience reshaped the way he approaches real estate and business. Out of that adversity came the 3 Paydays model, a creative strategy that allows investors to generate income upfront, monthly, and long-term—without relying on banks.
Derek and Chris discuss why creative financing is more important now than ever, how uncertainty in the market creates opportunity, and why ethical deal structuring matters. They also touch on the dangers of misinformation in real estate education, the importance of integrity, and how the right mindset separates long-term winners from short-term speculators.
This episode also marks a major milestone—100 episodes of Generations of Wealth—and highlights how relationships, not transactions, are the foundation of lasting success.
Are You Making This Big Real Estate Mistake?
Shawn Moore recounts his journey from making big money early in real estate, to losing everything in 2009 when the high-end resort development he worked on collapsed after a federal indictment.

Shawn opens up about infertility struggles, the emotional toll it took, and how becoming a father changed his definition of “legacy.” The episode also digs into the reality of the STR market: why the COVID boom misled new investors, how supply/demand has shifted, why most properties underperform, and why the future belongs to investors who understand hospitality, experience, and proper underwriting.
The conversation ends with deep insights on creative finance, rebuilding after hardship, and living a life built on purpose, resilience, and responsibility.
