Creative Finance Strategist

Company DescriptionFlipOps is a proptech platform built for wholesalers, fix-and-flip operators, and BRRRR investors who need one system to run their entire deal process. The platform covers lead discovery, skip tracing, distress scoring, deal analysis, outreach, and disposition — all in one place, replacing the disconnected tools most investors use across each stage of their workflow. FlipOps uses a distress scoring algorithm to surface and prioritize motivated sellers and integrates machine learning to help investors make faster, data-informed decisions from first contact through closing.Role DescriptionThe Creative Finance Strategist will help FlipOps build tools and workflows for investors who structure deals beyond standard cash offers. Subject-to, seller financing, wraps, lease options, and hybrid structures each have their own deal analysis requirements, documentation needs, and follow-up cadences. This role involves translating those requirements into platform features so FlipOps can serve the growing segment of investors using creative strategies to acquire and exit properties.QualificationsProficiency in Creative Direction and Creative StrategyExperience in Brand Strategy, with a focus on real estate or financial industriesStrong writing and research skills for crafting compelling and data-driven financial contentProven ability to develop innovative solutions for financial structuring and investment strategiesExcellent problem-solving and analytical skillsStrong communication and collaboration abilities to thrive in a remote work environmentBachelor's degree in Finance, Marketing, Business, or a related field is a plusExperience in real estate investing or financial technology is preferredWhat You'll DoDefine how creative finance deal types — sub-to, seller financing, wraps, lease options, and novations — are structured and tracked within the FlipOps platform alongside traditional cash offer and wholesale assignment workflowsBuild deal analysis calculators specific to creative acquisitions: monthly cash flow projections on sub-to deals, seller financing amortization schedules, wrap spread calculations, and lease option rent credit trackingDesign lead scoring adjustments for creative finance opportunities, identifying which motivated seller signals (free and clear properties, high equity with low motivation, tired landlords, pre-foreclosure with reinstatement potential) indicate creative deal viability versus cash offer viabilityDevelop offer generation templates for creative structures, including the specific terms, contingencies, and language that differ from a standard purchase agreementWork with the product team to build pipeline stages that reflect the longer timelines and additional touchpoints creative deals require compared to wholesale assignments or cash purchasesCreate follow-up cadence frameworks for creative finance leads, where the conversion window may be 6-18 months and the seller's situation changes over timeBuild compliance and documentation checklists for each creative deal type, covering due-on-sale clause considerations, insurance requirements, loan servicing setup, and entity structuringDevelop educational content within the platform that helps investors evaluate when a creative structure makes sense versus a cash offer or wholesale assignment based on property data, seller situation, and exit strategyYou Might Be a Fit IfYou've closed sub-to deals and understand the mechanics: existing mortgage assumption, insurance transfers, loan servicing, and how to structure protections for both buyer and sellerYou've originated seller-financed acquisitions and can structure terms — interest rate, balloon period, down payment, amortization — that work for the seller's tax situation and the investor's cash flow requirementsYou've used PropStream, BatchLeads, or Privy to identify properties where creative finance structures are more appropriate than cash offers based on equity position, mortgage balance, and owner situationYou've built or managed a pipeline in REsimpli, InvestorFuse, or Podio that tracked creative deals separately from wholesale deals because the timelines, follow-up cadences, and decision criteria are fundamentally differentYou understand wrap mortgages well enough to explain the spread calculation, the servicing logistics, and the risk profile to another investor in five minutesYou've run outreach campaigns targeting free-and-clear property owners, tired landlords, or pre-foreclosure homeowners with reinstatement potential, and adjusted your scripts and messaging for creative offers versus cash offersYou know why a property with a $180K mortgage balance and a $240K ARV isn't a wholesale deal but could be a strong sub-to acquisition, and you've structured deals around that mathYou've used Mojo Dialer or a similar tool to call lists specifically filtered for creative finance indicators and can articulate what those filters look like in PropStream or BatchLeadsBonus PointsExperience with lease option structures including sandwich lease options, and understanding of the legal considerations that vary by stateYou've managed the loan servicing side of sub-to or seller-financed deals through a third-party servicer and understand the reporting and compliance requirementsFamiliarity with entity structuring for creative acquisitions — land trusts, LLCs, and how title is held differently on sub-to deals versus traditional purchasesYou've trained VAs or junior team members on creative finance lead qualification, including the specific questions that determine whether a seller's situation fits a creative structureBackground in DNC/TCPA compliance for outreach campaigns targeting the specific demographics that creative finance deals tend to involve — older homeowners, estate and probate situations, and long-term owners with significant equityCompensation$64,000-$70,000.
