This week Ryan Weimer joins The A Game Podcast with Nick Lamagna for an honest conversation about real estate investing, building a business, overcoming major financial setbacks and finding ways to close deals in changing markets.

Ryan is the founder of Offer Now Idaho, a real estate investment company based in Boise, Idaho, that he continues to run while living in London with his family. After losing more than $1.2 million on a development project, Ryan had to rebuild his finances, rethink his business and find new ways to create liquidity. He went on to grow his company, sign more than 200 deals in a year and develop creative seller-financing strategies that helped him navigate different market conditions.

One of the biggest themes in this conversation is learning how to adapt when the strategy that once worked is no longer enough. Ryan breaks down how he evaluates opportunities, works with sellers, builds a team and uses different real estate investing strategies to keep deals moving. He also shares the thinking behind the “Weimer Method,” a creative seller-financing structure designed to unlock liquidity while making use of equity in other properties.

In this episode, Ryan and Nick talk about:

  • Losing over $1.2 million on a development deal and rebuilding after a major financial setback

  • How Ryan built and scaled Offer Now Idaho while living overseas

  • The “Weimer Method” and how creative seller financing can help investors create liquidity

  • Why real estate investors need multiple exit strategies in changing market conditions

  • How Boise’s real estate market shifted after significant pandemic-era appreciation

  • Using wholesaling, novations, installment contracts, seller financing, cash offers and flips to structure deals

  • How to evaluate a property based on the seller’s needs, repair costs, risk, timeline and potential profit

  • Why a quick wholesale deal can sometimes make more sense than taking on a higher-risk flip

  • How follow-up, lead management and sales systems can help investors convert more opportunities

  • Why Ryan’s company tracks lost deals and uses data to identify opportunities for improvement

  • The importance of building a strong team and focusing on your core strengths

  • How virtual seller appointments through Zoom or Google Meet can support stronger conversations

  • Why seasonal planning matters when managing renovations and resale timelines

  • Where AI can help real estate businesses with data, automation and operations—and where human connection still matters

  • The importance of cash flow and liquidity for marketing, hiring and business growth

  • How failure, mentorship, consistency and taking action can shape long-term entrepreneurial success

  • Why supporting employees and helping sellers through difficult situations can be part of building a fulfilling business

Ryan’s story is a reminder that real estate investing is not just about finding deals. It’s about making decisions, managing risk, building relationships and adapting when things don’t go according to plan. Whether you’re a new investor trying to close your first deal or an experienced entrepreneur looking to scale, this conversation offers insight into creative financing, real estate sales, business systems and the mindset required to keep moving forward after setbacks.
