    Timothy Anderson (00:00)
    if you look at all the household names, Albert Einstein, if you look at Henry Ford, hundreds and hundreds of them, there’s one thing that, that, that, binds them all together. And that’s creativity and playfulness. We’ve got to remember that. We’ve got to remember to be playful and creative. As soon as we let the, you know, the, anger and the ego stuff come over us.

    then we’ve lost that inner voice that’s so gentle and we’ve lost that great intelligence that’s in here. Everybody has unlimited potential. And the only thing that separates those household names apart is not because they were smarter than any of us, is that because they kept things creative and playful so they could continue to follow their dreams without throwing in the towel.

    Quentin (02:15)
    I am your host Q Edmonds and I have another person that’s here, another guest that’s just going to give so much value to what we do here within real estate and just what we do as a community when we think about our mindset, when we think about our purpose and also of course when we do this business, this thing called real estate. And so I’m excited about him. know, his business is a one-stop shop. ⁓ you know, just

    He wants you to really know, he’s not going to try to sell you without getting to know you, without getting to know your goals, without getting to know your intentions. Yeah, know, one of his methods is by donation, and I’m sure he’s going to get into all of that. But I’m just excited about the person that he is and the authenticity that he brings when he talks. And so I just want to introduce you guys to Mr. Timothy Anderson. Mr. Timothy, how are doing today,

    Timothy Anderson (03:06)
    Great to you. Nice to meet you. Nice to be here.

    Quentin (03:06)
    Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I’m so glad you’re here, man.

    I’m so glad that our viewers get to just peek through your lens. And so listen, let’s dive in. I want you to take us into your world. Tell us, you know, what is it that you’re mainly focused on these days? Tell us, you know, what you do, maybe a little bit of how you got started. And also tell us what markets you’re operating in as well.

    Timothy Anderson (03:28)
    Sure thing. You said tell us what we’re focused on and we’re focused on first and foremost meeting with people, getting to know them, seeing what their goals are, making sure their goals are actually ⁓ lining up with what they’re intending to do, or making sure their intentions are aligned and slowly adjusting that. And we figure out what their needs are, what they want to do.

    And we put into what their needs are. If they need a loan, we can ⁓ work for American Liberty Mortgage and we originate loans there and we go out and we find the best rates for them and the nation. And also ⁓ we have investors that we work with that can joint venture with us. We can point in that direction. We meet a lot of people who want to invest in real estate, but they don’t know where to start. We work with homeowners. They want to, you know,

    They want to figure out what they can do, or maybe they need to do some repairs on their home, but they don’t know. know, we can show them all kinds of ways to, you know, to do these things. Say like a homeowner needs to do some repairs and they got a lot of equity in their home. They can do a small refinance on it and get those repairs done and then sell their home for a nice price. instead of, you know, selling it to an investor. And that’s another thing. I am an investor, but I realize, and what I want to try and accomplish and do here is that

    Instead of using my skills and abilities to, you know, to prey upon people, and that’s okay to do, that’s capitalism, but instead of doing that, I think there’s more reward for all of us if I use my skills and abilities to assist and to lift people. And so if I can lift those homeowners, if I can lift those investors, and if I can lift those people who are leasing, who are tired of paying their landlord’s mortgage,

    I want to lift them and get with them on their finances, their goals, and help them achieve home ownership. Because after money, the next wealth is assets. And we’re just trying to build upon that. After assets, it’s relationships with people. And so we’re building upon that in our scenario.

    To make all this work, have to have a good relationship with ourself, which is the next step. And so ⁓ that’s what we’re trying to accomplish with what we’re doing and trying to do it in a positive way. So if you don’t qualify for a loan, you’re not an untouchable. If you are stuck in your home and you’re not sure what to do, you’re not an untouchable. We’re not realtors. We’re not going to list your home. We don’t need to sell your home. We don’t need you to buy a home.

    Quentin (06:43)
    Yeah.

    Timothy Anderson (07:00)
    We just need to help you move to the next step. And each person that we help as a community will all be moving to the next step. And you asked me a few more questions and I already forgot.

    Quentin (07:05)
    Mm, man up.

    No,

    no, man. I think you summed things up very, very well, And I think you kind of got into why it is you do what you do. And I know you said just, and I asked you so you could even have a chance to expound on it. So what do you think is your key to keeping that machine running smoothly? Like, what is your strategy that keeps you doing what you do and doing it at the level that you do it at?

    Timothy Anderson (07:33)
    Really, it all goes back to inner strength and breath and relationship with myself. And I’ve got this power is called a higher mind within me. And as long as I can silence that ego mind and all that, ⁓ the thoughts and go into the breath, go into the Christ mind, which is in me, that’s where my strength comes from. And that’s what helps me build healthy relationships with people.

    healthy relationships with assets and healthy relationships with money. All of that just falls in line. So that’s my inner strength. Now, you’re, you talking about more for a business standpoint, you know, so scheduling, being consciously aware of what’s needed on a daily, weekly, hourly basis, yearly basis, that’s what’s needed. And I’m not really sure what else to say.

    on what’s my secret sauce on that.

    Quentin (08:28)
    Yeah. No,

    man. I think what you said is enough. I love how you approached it from a dualistic standpoint. You talked about yourself and your breath tapping into you, into your inner core, to your inner Christ. You know, I hear you on that for sure. And then you talked about just with the business aspect with scheduling and being on top of things. So now you answered the question, you know, the way you answered it, which I think was just very clear. And so I thank you for sharing that.

    You know, as we, know, in this real estate space, things are not always especially easy in the climate. Like there’s, there’s times when moments get real. Sometimes when deals go sideways, sometimes when we have to pivot fast. Like is there times within what you do, especially with, know, with, with, with, with mortgages and helping people when really sitting down with people, are there times when things kind of go sideways? Because of course we see the success, but there’s a journey to the success.

    Timothy Anderson (09:14)
    Mm.

    All right.

    Quentin (09:26)
    And so I was just wondering if there’s moments like that. Yeah.

    Timothy Anderson (09:27)
    Yeah.

    A lot of times when those things go sideways, you got to reassess your thoughts and get to, like I said, get to know ourselves. We got to reassess and we got to make sure that we’re not getting stressed about the wrong things. We shouldn’t get stressed about people pleasing. You know, we got to remember why are we concerned about this? And sometimes it’s really something that has no value. And so as an investor, I’ve kind of picked apart what’s actually valuable. And so I’m learning to, that’s what we pretty much learn is to not let those things stress us.

    when things go wrong and sometimes we just have to be still and know and wait and the answer comes and that’s really the lesson in life. You know, we’re here to learn and so how are we going to learn if we’re upset? So if we can look at those things in that manner, in a conscious manner, a mature manner and then there’s a saying I like to say, know, ⁓ dealing with real estate and such, these are my homes, other homes, people’s homes and so it’s really personal.

    And so there’s a lot of crazy things that you see in this personal profession of real estate. And so whenever I see something that’s just crazy, that’s just backwards, that’s wrong, instead of getting mad, I just say, I say this, I love real estate. And that’s my saying. That means I could be frustrated, but I just let it out right there. I love real estate. And so that’s our secret from day to day to kind of answer your question.

    Quentin (11:17)
    Yeah. Yeah.

    No, no,

    I love it, man. So many other guests that we had on including yourself talk about the mindset, right? Like it’s really all about having your mindset ready when you’re in any entrepreneurial space, any business space, specifically with real estate is that your mindset got to be right. And you, and you got to know who this is one of the things that I say, and I actually got it from a pastor. When you know who you are, you know what to do.

    When you know who you are, you know what to do. And that’s all about the mindset, knowing who you are, tapping into your inner self, like you said. And when you know who you are, you can be in any situation and you know how you’re going to attack it because you know exactly who you are. And so it makes total sense to me. ⁓ Now, let me ask you this, man, you know, when it comes to your business world, ⁓ what are you most focused on scaling or solving next? Like what’s the next real goal for you when it comes to your business?

    Timothy Anderson (12:05)
    Thank you.

    Well, the next real goal is basically using ClearPath Home Advisory is what we started to help. And the next goal is to help this all circulate and work together through mortgage loan origination, through direct buys, direct sells, through leasing. ⁓ Whenever we put out ⁓ an advertisement to advertise a home for lease, those people are all people who can be turned to maybe someone who can purchase.

    Maybe someone who we can counsel with ClearPath. And really, I like to take ClearPath as kind of the front. You know, that’s the front, that’s, you know, before we do anything else, we need to build a little trust and we need to make sure you’re on the right track. We don’t want to sell you something you’re not happy with. Too many times I’ve seen good people provide a service and then ⁓ the person five years down the road felt like they were taking advantage of. Well, first you got to vet your people and make sure that that’s really what they want because you’re, we’re the professionals here.

    You know, people don’t buy homes every day, maybe once or twice in their life, maybe five or 10, but that’s still not very much compared to us moving properties in bulk like pool balls. you know, we, you know, that’s, that’s what we’re working on building though, is more of a one-stop shop for everything and lift the community at the same time. You know, we can circulate these things on building network in relationship with realtors who, ⁓ you know, they can send me their buyers to get them, ⁓ know, pre-approved.

    But if they’re not, if they’re not approvable, if they’re not ready for a loan, financial ready, we’ll work with them. And maybe in six months, we’ll send them back. So more of a long-term thing. So I would say that’s our strategy, trust, ⁓ guidance, know, home coaching, and eventually success for them. That’s what it’s all about. If we can bring them success, we’ll be successful. And so we can originate loans here in Texas. ⁓

    Quentin (13:43)
    Yeah. Yeah.

    I never

    Timothy Anderson (14:05)
    We don’t really go outside of the state of Texas, because it’s best to just keep it here. So we’ve got some things that we can do statewide, but our investments mostly stay here in Victoria, Texas.

    Quentin (14:09)
    you

    Timothy Anderson (14:56)
    We’ve got lots of options. I’ve got networks outside of my network that I can send them to if they want a higher return. Some people who are investing nationwide with way above 10 % return, I believe a 17 % is what they quoted me.

    pretty much a one-stop shop in that manner. And then we’ve got the investment part where we purchase directly and we sell directly as well. I think it’s really just bringing everything together. only, here’s another thing we’re doing too, is we’re creating a hub, a hub of real estate vendors. Let’s get those people that we trust, the inspectors, the appraisers, the surveyors, the realtors, and we’ll send our people to the realtors that come directly to us and to these vendors.

    Quentin (15:23)
    Yeah.

    Timothy Anderson (15:39)
    And so we’re creating a vendor hub in real estate in Texas here. And so we have big plans. We’re not creating just a business. We’re creating an industry within an industry.

    Quentin (15:41)
    Mmm.

    Yeah,

    yeah. No, it sounds like it. No, go ahead. I don’t want to touch you up. Please continue.

    Timothy Anderson (15:55)
    Well, it’s really needed because basically, you know, you’ve got people that have needs and you got a little bit of, you’ve got people that are solving those needs and that’s great. We got the boots on the ground, the realtors, we’ve got the appraisers, the surveyors, and with any market, there’s a little bit of inefficiency and distrust. And so what we’re trying to do is fill that vacuum and seal that off so we can help the flow continue to come through with basically home ownership. That’s our goal is home ownership.

    We want people to own assets.

    Quentin (16:25)
    You answered the question and I was about to pick up cause you was talking about the goals for ClearPath. You was talking about just, you know, building trust and you really started hitting on just like building, building your team, building with people, right?

    making sure that you’re serving your client with that integrity. told you you could do direct selling, direct leasing. You laid out the goals very clearly, but you was talking about people. And that’s kind of why I want to shift the conversation to relationships. Because it sounds to me that you care about relationships, that you deeply care about people. And so when it comes to building relationships and building your network,

    Timothy Anderson (16:40)
    Mm-hmm.

    Quentin (17:05)
    What’s been important to you when it comes to building relationships?

    Timothy Anderson (17:09)
    Well, trust is the most foundational thing. And so, you know, I know there’s great people that come on this podcast that say, hey, invest with me, I can do this and I can do this for you. I’m not here to tell you that because first I need to see where you’re at. I need to see what your needs are. I need to see what your goals are. And so trust is the first thing that we’re here to build and before anything else. And as long as we build that trust and handle it with care.

    You’re gonna be happy with me for the next 10, 15 years after you’ve already, maybe even as an investor, after you’ve already moved on and you’re investing on your own, you don’t need me anymore. So trust, that’s the secret sauce. That’s it, we gotta build trust.

    Quentin (17:50)
    I

    love it. There’s a saying that says trust is gained in drops and lost in buckets. So it is gained with little drops, but man, once trust is, when there’s no trust, it’s lost in buckets. And you got to start the whole process of those little drops to get trust back again. And a lot of us know sometimes trust is not, not won back. And so for you to say one of your business models,

    Timothy Anderson (17:58)
    Mmm, that’s good. Yeah.

    Quentin (18:18)
    It’s the start with trust and build it with trust that honestly just lets me know the type of person that you really are and the type of business that you’re running. And so I appreciate you saying that. ⁓ Listen, man, I love when I talk to people that kind of have a mindset the way you have. And so I just want to take a brief moment. If there’s any kind of inspiration or encouragement that you wanted to give to our viewers from your perspective, I would love to hear that.

    Timothy Anderson (18:43)
    Okay. Do you have anything for specific encouragement? Because I’ve got so much that I love to talk about and to help.

    Quentin (18:50)
    Yeah, but

    I’m, I mean, that’s the thing.

    Timothy Anderson (18:53)
    Just to go to the

    next level, how do you get to the next level? You know, how about that? You know, encouragement. How do you go to the next level? Okay. So look at, if you look at all,

    Quentin (18:56)
    I’m next, yeah, let’s go, yes sir.

    Timothy Anderson (19:01)
    if you look at all the household names, Albert Einstein, if you look at Henry Ford, hundreds and hundreds of them, there’s one thing that, that, that, binds them all together. And that’s creativity and playfulness. We’ve got to remember that. We’ve got to remember to be playful and creative. As soon as we let the, you know, the, anger and the ego stuff come over us.

    then we’ve lost that inner voice that’s so gentle and we’ve lost that great intelligence that’s in here. Everybody has unlimited potential. And the only thing that separates those household names apart is not because they were smarter than any of us, is that because they kept things creative and playful so they could continue to follow their dreams without throwing in the towel.

    And so relentless pursuit with creativity, with playfulness.

    And honestly, that’s how we become masters at what we are. And once you become a master, it doesn’t take that long, but once you become a master, you can begin to invent things and create things. And that’s why so many people that are inventors are household names. That’s why I’m inventing this ⁓ home coaching here in the state of Texas, because for one, I think it’s needed, but for also, it’s just coming from the heart and it’s just, you know, it’s able to flow.

    And so that creative activity and playfulness is really what makes it happen. And it’s not because of me being so great, it’s because my partner, my coworkers, contractors, all of us do this together. None of us does it on our own. This doesn’t all come from me. This all comes from us together and basically realizing that. And so ⁓ being humble is really, it doesn’t sound like a very popular word, but that’s where we’re able to learn and be lifted.

    You know, being compassionate and humble with the people that we work with, with ourselves and with our clients, ⁓ you know, and staying creative and playful with them. I think that’s the way to go to the next level. And at least that’s what I’ve found in my life. And that’s what I’ve found in all the masters that have found themselves as a household name here in this world.

    Quentin (21:10)
    Absolutely. Listen, man, I think that was incredible. That was an incredible word of advice. I totally agree. ⁓ I’m a freelance writer and I use the right for mental health company and I use the right blogs. And one of the things that I wrote about is play. cannot, we cannot lose our ability to play. Like even as adults, we got to have play. That play creates so much creativity and is so good for your mental health. And so, that was great. That was great encouragement, brother. Great, great, great encouragement.

    Timothy Anderson (21:38)
    Okay, great.

    Quentin (21:39)
    Yeah, man. So listen, man, listen, before we wrap, if someone wanted to reach out to you, connect with you, collaborate with you, what’s the best way for them to reach out to you,

    Timothy Anderson (21:48)
    Several different ways a clearpathhomeadvisory.com clear path home advisory on Facebook ⁓ Clear path Let’s see. I have an ebook if they want to get my ebook We’ll send it to them and that’s basically for people who are renting or homeowners who who who are struggling And it’s it’s free to free to everyone also ⁓ I’m also in a franchise. We buy ugly homes, you know, so that my landing page is a

    I had to see what the landing page site is. But basically, my number, should I get my number out or is that okay? Okay. So, yeah, so my number is 361-894-3250. And ⁓ basically, but if you wanna go to my website, if you wanna go to my Facebook page, know, like, share, support, we’re working on building quality content so we can ⁓ not just…

    Quentin (22:23)
    Yeah, if you’re comfortable with it, absolutely,

    Timothy Anderson (22:43)
    not just entertain the people who are visiting the page, but so we can educate them. We’re sneaky like that. We’d like to educate people instead of just entertain them and kind of basically give some quality all around in what we do. So I have email addresses and such, but I think we can stick with that landing page and you can set an appointment on the calendar.
