How to Find Financial Freedom with Small Multifamily Rentals

How to Find Financial Freedom with Small Multifamily Rentals

Small multifamily investing is one of the fastest ways to reach financial freedom through real estate. With just a few multifamily rental properties, you can create passive income streams that’ll allow you to retire from your W2 job, go full-time into real estate investing, or have enough money to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Don’t think it’s still possible? Dave Meyer, multifamily investor and VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, may change your mind.  Dave started investing in real estate by buying a couple of small multifamily rentals within a block of each other. He lived in one of the units while renting out the others, allowing him to live for free and collect some sizable cash flow. Now, years later, Dave is collecting around $5,000 per MONTH from just these two properties. And if you invest in small multifamily rentals, you could experience the same cash flow!  If you want to invest like the experts and use the tools and calculators from this episode, sign up for BiggerPockets Pro and use code “FAMILYPOD20” for a discount!  In This Episode We Cover: How to achieve financial freedom by investing in SMALL multifamily real estate The four MAJOR benefits small multifamily boasts and why you’ll want to get in NOW The financial freedom formula and calculating out how much you REALLY need Financing your small multifamily rentals using loans and creative financing  How to use the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to calculate cash flow, cash-on-cash return, and long-term profit  The dangers you MUST look out for before investing in ANY multifamily deal  And So Much More!

805: 2 “Cash Flow” Housing Markets That Are On Track for Big Growth w/Brandon Ribeiro and Peter Stewart

805: 2 “Cash Flow” Housing Markets That Are On Track for Big Growth w/Brandon Ribeiro and Peter Stewart

Think every housing market is too expensive to buy in? Think again. We’re going over two of the country’s biggest cash flow housing markets and showing why they may be your next best bet when buying rental property. And while, traditionally, cash flow real estate markets have been associated with constant turnover, low appreciation, and consistent headaches, these two markets defy the odds—if you know where to buy. Peter Stewart, Indianapolis agent and investor, is on today to discuss why his underrated but surprisingly lucrative housing market deserves your dollars. He’s got clients doing BRRRRs, flips, and regular rental properties with crazy cash flow numbers and returns in the triple-digit percentages! Then we talk to Brandon Ribeiro, Philadelphia commercial agent who recently scored his buyer a rock-bottom mortgage rate (3%!) that will double the cash flow on his newest property. Interested in investing in markets like this? Need a local expert to guide you through the buying process? Check out BiggerPockets Agent Finder to connect with an expert agent in your area. It’s completely free, and you’ll get matched with experts who can talk about cash flow, not just granite countertops. In This Episode We Cover: Two cash flow real estate markets with strong signs for buyers  The market metrics you MUST look at before buying in ANY area  The “danger” of investing in cash flow areas and what you MUST avoid when doing so The 130% cash-on-cash return BRRRR that you can buy in THIS market  How to lock down a rock-bottom mortgage rate with seller-financing And So Much More!

804: What to Do TODAY to Instantly Find More Real Estate Deals

Support the relief efforts for the Maui wildfires by donating to the organizations below or clicking here. Together, we can make a difference for those affected by this tragic event:  HAWAI‘I COMMUNITY FOUNDATION: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong MAUI UNITED WAY: https://mauiunitedway.org/  MAUI FOOD BANK: https://mauifoodbank.org/  MAUI HUMANE SOCIETY: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/  RED CROSS: https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii.html  _____ Real estate investing isn’t what it used to be. Back in 2010, in a post-crash housing market, almost any property in any area could cash flow easily. Back then, the question wasn’t “Where are the deals?” It was “Which deal should I buy?” But things have changed, and now in 2023, homes are hard to purchase, let alone cash flow, and more and more real estate investors are giving up simply because they don’t know the new rules of the game. So, here’s what you NEED to know. Before we unlock every wealth-building secret in the book, let’s welcome back Danny Zapata, Philip Hernandez, and Wendy St. Clair, our recent mentees of the ninety-day mentorship! We brought them back on the show to talk about deals they’ve done, the progress they’ve made, and where they’ve fallen off track. One mentee left their job, another is handling headache evictions, and one had to put a pause on real estate. But now, they’re ALL ready to expand their empires, but they’ll need some advice first. In this episode, David and Rob show you how to get more real estate deals TODAY, why you’re doing meetups all wrong, the reality of cash flow and why “mailbox money” isn’t what it used to be, and what to do when you CAN’T find the momentum to keep growing your wealth. In This Episode We Cover How to find more real estate deals instantly (even in 2023!)  The “reverse escalator” of wealth and why most Americans are getting left behind What to do when you’ve lost momentum along your real estate journey Replacing your job with real estate and the smartest, cheapest way to buy home-run rental properties  Why you MUST sacrifice short-term cash flow for long-term wealth  And So Much More!

803: Building a $1.8M Real Estate Portfolio by Outsourcing Your “Weaknesses” w/Andy Gil

803: Building a $1.8M Real Estate Portfolio by Outsourcing Your “Weaknesses” w/Andy Gil

Want to build a million-dollar real estate portfolio? We’ve got good news for you! You DON’T have to rush full-steam ahead, buying every property that crosses your path to reach financial freedom. That’s right, instead of buying dozens of units a year, you can buy a dozen units within a couple of decades, taking the slow, steady path to building wealth instead of ferociously racing to rack up as many rentals as possible. While it may sound like every real estate investor is constantly on a buying spree, this is far from the truth. Investors like Andy Gil have been able to build seven-figure real estate portfolios without sacrificing time with family or infringing on their morals to make more money. Far from it, actually; Andy is outwardly trying to make it easier for often neglected renters to find a safe place to stay. Through the past two decades, Andy has been building his rental property portfolio up to the twelve units it is today. He never thought he would be the person to buy a house, let alone own a rental portfolio. Still, thanks to his differences that make him a superhero in aspects most investors would dread, he’s built serious wealth without sacrificing what’s important. In this episode, you’ll hear precisely how Andy did it, his “T-Rex” policy that entices renters, outsourcing your weaknesses, and using your differences to build wealth. In This Episode We Cover: Andy’s “T-Rex” rental policy that leads to low vacancy and a steady stream of passive income Outsourcing your weaknesses and why you MUST know what you don’t do well Buying a “fractured condo association” and why Andy is all-in on this uncommon asset class Taking obstacles and turning them into opportunities along your investing journey How multifamily real estate investors can prepare for an upcoming wave of vacancies  Why unit count DOESN’T matter, but the wealth in those units does!

802: Codie Sanchez: Passive Income is a Scam, Do This Instead

802: Codie Sanchez: Passive Income is a Scam, Do This Instead

Codie Sanchez doesn’t believe in passive income but still makes millions of dollars a year with businesses that don’t require her input. To her, building businesses isn’t the “set it and forget it” dream that most investors think it will be, but it sure beats having a job. Codie has built her wealth by buying “boring” businesses that most people overlook. Car washes, laundromats, and self-storage are some of her portfolio favorites, and they could make you a killing too. So, what business should you buy? In today’s episode, Codie goes over the exact type of businesses real estate investors should be looking into, what to do before you even begin your search, and how to hire someone else to run the business so you don’t have to. But you might think, “I have no experience doing ANYTHING like this.” Thankfully, you don’t need to be a former CEO or investing expert to buy profitable boring businesses, but you need something almost everyone has. From there, Codie dives deep into the secret of “talent management” and how to keep great employees around while making them rich, plus the one partnership tip that could stop you from getting scammed and losing hundreds of thousands of dollars (this happened to Codie). Want to buy a business and leave your nine-to-five behind? Tune in! In This Episode We Cover: How to buy a “boring” business that will build wealth for you  The passive income scam and why the money you make comes with a cost Hiring out your business so you can spend time doing what you want The talent management “secret” and how to keep the best employees around for decades The businesses that real estate investors should look at buying  Codie’s rules of thumb that she follows when buying ANY type of business And So Much More!

801: The Secret to Building a Rental Portfolio With Limited Time, Money, or Experience

No time or money to invest? You need a real estate partnership. What keeps almost every real estate rookie from investing is the fear that they’ll fail or that they don’t have enough to get started. But what if you could join forces with an experienced investor and learn the real estate investing game while gaining equity? Or, what if you’re busy making money from a high-paid job or business and don’t want to manage tenants, toilets, or trash? Well, there’s a good chance a partnership could take your passive income to the next level. To help unlock the world of real estate partnership, Ashley Kehr and Tony Robinson from the Real Estate Rookie podcast join us and give a glimpse into their new book, Real Estate Partnerships. In it, they talk about the four reasons why most investors need a partner, where to find the right person to invest with, the different types of partnerships (equity vs. debt), and red flags that you CAN’T ignore. Both Ashley and Tony have built multimillion-dollar real estate portfolios thanks to partnering up. So, if you’ve tried to go at it alone and aren’t having much luck building wealth, this may be your sign to start searching for a partner who will help you build your rental property portfolio!

799: 3 Steps to Building a Simple, Safe, "No Bank" Rental Property Portfolio w/Cody Davis and Christian Osgood

799: 3 Steps to Building a Simple, Safe, "No Bank" Rental Property Portfolio w/Cody Davis and Christian Osgood

You can build a multifamily real estate portfolio without a ton of money, risk, or time. Cody Davis and Christian Osgood built their multimillion-dollar rental property portfolio in a matter of years, using strategies that ANYONE, no matter their experience level, can use. But, how they do things is a little unconventional and probably goes against everything top real estate investors have been telling you. While the world looked to lock down as much debt as possible during 2020-2021’s low mortgage rates, Cody and Christian sought something else. This dynamic investing duo wanted long-term debt on excellent properties that could be paid off quickly, enabling them to own their portfolio outright. This meant that Cody and Christian would have to sacrifice a substantial amount of cash flow, keep their spending low, and only buy the best properties out there. How Cody and Christian bought the properties is a strategy you most likely haven’t heard of before. It’s so ingenious that if you follow the same steps as Cody and Christian, you’ll be able to get THE best properties, at the best price, from a seller who WANTS you to make money off them. Doesn’t sound possible in such a cutthroat industry, does it? Stick around to learn the EXACT steps Cody and Christian took to build their low-risk, high-reward, eight-figure portfolio. In This Episode We Cover: How Cody and Christian built a 130-unit rental portfolio in just a few years The three simple steps to seller financing and why you NEVER ask if an owner is selling Working with realtors and how to turn on-market deals into off-market steals  Where to find seller-financed properties and owners that are most likely to sell Mortgage rates, bank loans, and how to choose your own terms on your next loan How to NEVER lose your wealth and why most investors are in for a rude awakening And So Much More!

797: 7 Rentals in 3 Years by Breaking All the Real Estate Rules w/Jenni Vega

797: 7 Rentals in 3 Years by Breaking All the Real Estate Rules w/Jenni Vega

Most people take YEARS to buy their first rental property, but most people aren’t Jenni Vega. Instead of waiting, Jenni bought seven rentals in just three years, with almost unbelievable cash flow on each using what she calls the “golden triangle” method of investing. With this simple framework, Jenni was able to buy undervalued properties in cities that most investors don’t even have on their radar. The properties are cheaper, the profits are bigger, and if you copy Jenni’s method, you, too, can build a six-figure side income stream in just a few years. Surprisingly, Jenni still keeps her day job as a Cutco closing gift saleswoman. In fact, it’s what got her into real estate. After working with dozens of realtors a week, Jenni learned about buy and hold rental property investing. It didn’t take long before she bought her first property in an area most investors would avoid. But, thanks to careful planning and intentional investing, Jenni turned this cheap property into a $50K/year revenue stream. And that was just the start. Now, breaking all the “real estate rules,” Jenni is out to prove that almost any property can become a profitable vacation rental.

796: 2024 Housing Market Predictions and 3 Underrated Real Estate Markets to Watch

We’ve got 2024 housing market predictions coming up in this episode. But don’t worry, David and Rob haven’t put their careers on the line to try and guess where home prices will be next year. Instead, we brought the expert panel from On the Market to give their best real estate predictions so David and Rob remain safe in the eyes of our darling listeners. Dave Meyer, host of On the Market and BiggerPockets VP of Data and Analytics, recaps the 2023 housing market and tells us what (and where) to look for as the year’s second half begins. Dave and the expert investor panel will review everything that happened over the past six months in real estate. From home prices correcting and failing to crash to inventory falling back down to historic lows, days on market dwindling, and the “lock-in effect” for homeowners, the 2023 housing market turned out to be nothing we would have expected. But is there hope for rental property owners and real estate investors? To answer that, our guests will give their mortgage rate, recession, and home price predictions. But that’s not all. They’ll also uncover some of the most underrated real estate markets across the nation, all showing strong signs of growth and huge profit potential. Get in before the masses do, and for more up-to-date real estate data, check out On the Market!  In This Episode We Cover: The housing market correction explained and why we never had the crash so many predicted  Inventory updates and why homeowners are too “locked-in” to sell their homes Mortgage rate predictions and where we could see rates end up in 2024  Home price forecasts and why one expert guest still thinks we’ll see sizable price jumps Three “under the radar” real estate markets that you’ve (probably) never heard of  The #1 place to live in the US that has homes for half the US average!  And So Much More!

795: Making $10K/Month with a “Small and Mighty” Rental Portfolio w/Chad “Coach” Carson

795: Making $10K/Month with a “Small and Mighty” Rental Portfolio w/Chad “Coach” Carson

Rental properties and early retirement go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you want to leave your nine-to-five behind, make six figures, and have ultimate time freedom, real estate investing may be your best bet. But, with so many influencers constantly pushing “more doors,” it seems like real estate is becoming a death race to retirement, not something that grants total financial freedom. If you want to ACTUALLY retire early, with fewer headaches, and a lot of passive income, Chad “Coach” Carson is who you should listen to. For the past year, Chad and his family have been living abroad in Spain. He’s taken time to learn Spanish, lounge around, and have a siesta while his rental properties create his passive income. The best part? Chad spends two hours (yes, TWO) a week running his rental property portfolio. But Chad didn’t need to build a real estate portfolio of a billion units to accomplish his goal of ultimate time flexibility. Instead, he built a “small and mighty” portfolio. In today’s episode, Chad walks through how to build a rental property portfolio that will help you reach financial freedom without owning hundreds of units. He also uncovers why debt and leverage aren’t always the best option and why you should pay off your properties before they’re due! You can learn more about Chad’s exact strategy in his new book, “The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor.” Use promo code “SMALL795” for a special discount! In This Episode We Cover: How to retire early with rental properties and only work two hours per week When to take profits and when to reinvest in your portfolio Delayed gratification and why you SHOULD take “mini-retirements” on the road to financial freedom The five most commonly believed myths about building a real estate portfolio  Paying off your rentals early and the double benefit of being debt-free And So Much More!

794: Buying Houses with $100 Down and Creative Finance Secrets Most Don't Know

794: Buying Houses with $100 Down and Creative Finance Secrets Most Don't Know

Creative finance is a home-buying hack that most people don’t know about. If you know what it is and how to use it, you can pick up properties for only a hundred dollars, build your rental portfolio faster than ever, and reach financial freedom in mere years. And in 2023, when the housing market is still hot, and home prices have barely cooled off, creative finance could be the solution to no cash flow and overpriced deals. But before you creatively finance your next rental property, you’ll need to know which strategy to use and when to use it.  Jenn and Joe Delle Fave used creative finance to move from snowy Upstate New York to sunny Florida after escaping soul-crushing work. Jenn, a former teacher, loved her career, and the time she spent with her kids. But Joe was stuck at the car dealership, working late into the night, sacrificing family time to make more money. He knew he needed a way out but didn’t want to give up the financial security of a W2. Everything changed when he had the “light bulb” moment to try creative finance. Now, Jenn and Joe have run a full-time investing business, picking up pristine properties using strategies like seller financing, subject to, or wrap mortgages. They’ve acquired properties for very little down in some of the most competitive neighborhoods in the country, growing wealth WITH the time freedom they desired. Jenn and Joe give invaluable advice on which strategies work for which seller, the easiest way to get leads sent to you, and how you build wealth with real estate faster.  In This Episode We Cover: The EASIEST way to get dozens of off-market properties sent to you EVERY DAY The best creative financing strategies and when to use each Wrap mortgages explained and taking advantage of someone else’s low mortgage rate  Time freedom and the “golden handcuffs” that stop you from accomplishing your dreams The one thing you should ask EVERY seller before you buy a property  Investing with a spouse and the benefits of building a business together And So Much More!

791: 40 Rental Units and the “Desperate” Deals That Are Waiting for You w/Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman

791: 40 Rental Units and the “Desperate” Deals That Are Waiting for You w/Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman

Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman had a straightforward goal: get to one hundred rental units in ten years. Now, near the halfway mark, Nate and Troy have made almost unbelievable progress in a real estate market most investors perceive as radioactive. With overpriced properties everywhere you look, out-of-whack cash flow, and high mortgage rates, will good deals ever come back? Thankfully for Nate and Troy, finding a deal was never the assignment; making a deal was. After going through difficult partnerships in the past, Nate and Troy were hesitant to hop in the game together. But after years of getting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, it was only natural for them to tackle big deals together instead of small deals apart. Now, with forty rental units under their belt, they’re well on their way to hitting their hundred-unit goal. But this wouldn’t have worked out if they hadn’t made one special phone call. In this episode, Nate and Troy will review their most recent acquisition, a fourteen-unit apartment complex with tricky financing in northwest Alabama. They’ll also share how calling one desperate listing agent unlocked a deal flow that brought dozens of units directly to them. If you’re struggling to invest in today’s demanding market and don’t think there are any deals worth the effort, this episode could change everything for you. In This Episode We Cover: The “desperate” real estate deals that NOBODY is looking at (and where to find them) Real estate partnerships and why investing together beats going at it alone  Exit strategies and the BIG mistake most partnerships make when getting started  Why you might be just one phone call away from the best real estate deal of your life Seller financing and how to use it to lower your loan costs and get a tricky deal done Raising private capital and who you should (and shouldn’t) accept money from  And So Much More!

790: BiggerNews: How to Find 0% Interest and Instant Cash Flow Deals in 2023

Want a zero percent interest rate and a paid-off seven-figure property? What about a quick fix and flip that’ll net you six figures in profits? Or, maybe buy an office and make nearly half a million dollars while having your own workplace? It’s 2023, and the housing market has turned most real estate investors off. Everyone thinks that deals are impossible to find, but funnily enough, we keep hearing stories about real estate investors making massive profits while residential buyers cower in fear. So, where can you find these deals? We’ve brought back Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen from the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, area and the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, markets, respectively. Plus, Matthew Nicklin from southern seller’s market, Atlanta, Georgia, joins us as we review real deals from all three markets to show you that no matter the housing market cycle, you can STILL make money in real estate (even in 2023!) We’ll go over six individual deals, from turnkey medium-term rentals selling at zero percent mortgage rates (with seller financing) to easy, instant cash flow deals with perfect tenants in place. But maybe you’re not a buy and hold investor. If so, a couple of flip deals are brought on to show that six-figure profit potential still exists for the right properties. And, we’ll deep dive into one of the agent’s commercial real estate deals that made nearly half a million dollars in equity alone! In This Episode We Cover: Three hot southern housing markets where you can still find real estate deals  Signs of a stable market and why you want to see faster home sales  Seller financing and how to use it to score a rock-bottom mortgage rate on your next rental  How to use private lending to make a killing without getting your hands dirty on a deal “Office hacking” and turning unused space into cash flow and HUGE equity gains  Paying off your property faster and why having little-to-no cash flow may be worth an earlier retirement  And So Much More!

788: From $26K/Year Paycheck to $70K/MONTH Rent Checks w/Lamon Woods

788: From $26K/Year Paycheck to $70K/MONTH Rent Checks w/Lamon Woods

Lamon Woods used an ingenious rental property strategy to go from one house to over one hundred rentals in a small market without using almost any cash. This strategy is so brilliant that most real estate investors assume it doesn’t exist or they can’t use it in their rental property portfolio. Lamon luckily stumbled upon this way to invest, and now, he’s growing his real estate portfolio at a pace unfathomable to most landlords. But Lamon didn’t start as some rental property investing expert. He was making a low income, working a job he had no passion for, and looking for any avenue that could help make him more money. When his wife suggested that they buy the house they were currently renting, Lamon put up a fight but eventually went along with the plan. It wasn’t until he moved out and rented his first home that the real estate investing lightbulb went off. From there, Lamon realized how quickly passive income could replace his paycheck.

In just a decade, Dean went from making $65,000 per year to over a million dollars; but the payoff wasn’t instantaneous. After being put in a position that most people would kill to be in, Dean left behind a seven-figure salary, glitz, glamor, fame, and a childhood dream to do something that fulfilled him. He had to start over entirely while his peers made more money than most of us could imagine. Dean took over a ninety-percent pay cut just to enter the tireless, W2 working world that he thought he would excel in. After realizing that hard work and continuous overachieving gets you nothing but a meager pay raise, he knew he had to go in another direction. He stumbled upon a real estate podcast, started investing with no money (seriously!), and grew a small side hustle into a full-on business that pays him as much as only professional athletes make. Dean’s story goes from riches to rags to riches again as he left his dangerous yet high-paying career to live paycheck to paycheck doing something that he knew would pay off Now, he rakes in more money in one year than most Americans make in a decade, controlling his own life, putting his health and family first, and helping new investors, like you, along the way. Want to make your millions? Tune in!  In This Episode We Cover: How Dean does over 100 real estate deals per year and profits seven figures Walking away from a high salary when you know that the career isn’t worth the cash Investing with no money and how to do your first deal without ANY experience Why you should always make this ONE phone call before partnering with anyone Losing six figures on bad deals and red flags that you should look out for Building your “friends with benefits” that all build wealth together And So Much More!

You’ve built a sizable rental property portfolio; now, it’s time to relax. You book a trip to the beach, get on your swimsuit, and are about to head out the door, but then, your tenant calls you. “The toilet is leaking,” “I lost my keys,” “The oven just went out.” Instead of enjoying your vacation, you’re spending hours looking up plumbers, locksmiths, and electricians. You’re juggling phone calls while trying to enjoy your time off. Wasn’t real estate investing supposed to be passive? This is the scenario that most landlords are living in. And it only gets worse the more homes you buy and the more money you make. But, there is a way never to pick up another tenant phone call again while giving your renters the best experience imaginable. All you have to do is build a system like Pasha Maleknia did. Pasha went from 218 tenant phone calls a year to only one by creating and tweaking this passive income system. In today’s episode, he’ll provide the exact steps so you can do it too. Pasha’s system isn’t complex, and most of it can be built for free. There’s no expensive software or complicated formulas to create this rental portfolio system. If you have some time to set aside from your day, you can build something like this in a matter of hours. So, are you ready to trade tenant phone calls for more trips to the beach? If so, stick around! Grab Pasha’s system spreadsheet template here.

The real estate market is crumbling…or is it? According to experienced investors like Jessie Rodriguez, now is one of the best times in recent memory to start building wealth. As a multi-decade house-flipping veteran, Jessie understands how the housing market works. He lost his business, his home, and the majority of his wealth in 2007 but has made it out not only surviving but thriving with a house-flipping business that prints cash. And he knows something that you probably don’t. The past few years have been a bloodbath for flippers.

Jessie and his team are HEAVILY capitalizing on this, and more good news may be on the way. In this episode, Jessie talks about rebuilding his business after losing it all in 2007, why now may be one of the BEST times to start house flipping, key indicators of a market shift that most investors miss, the biggest myth in today’s real estate space, and how Jessie’s team is redeveloping a historic building and turning it into a passive income stream that offers millions in profits.

780: The Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Medium-Term Rental Empire w/Jesse Vasquez

780: The Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Medium-Term Rental Empire w/Jesse Vasquez

Your real estate cash flow is suffering. Rent growth is slowing, mortgage rates are rising, and property prices are staying put. So where can you find more room to profit with your rental property? The answer is medium-term rentals! Until a couple of years ago, medium-term rentals, also called corporate rentals or traveling nurse rentals, were the sleepy investing strategy that only experienced investors like Jesse Vasquez knew about. But now, they’ve become (arguably) the best rental property on the planet. With medium-term rentals, you can often make four (or more) times the rent than a regular rental. You’ll also have minimal turnover, more professional tenants, and be able to book out your place at a high monthly rate for four, five, or six months at a time. They’re easier to manage than short-term rentals but have substantially more cash flow than long-term rentals. So, how do you get in on this high-cash flow craze? We brought Jesse back to the show for a step-by-step tutorial on starting, running, and profiting with a medium-term rental. He gives in-depth answers on how much it costs to start, the best locations to buy (or rent), how to get the biggest rental contracts from top corporations, amenities guests will expect, and what to charge. If you want to take your rental property from break-even to making bank, this is the strategy for you! In This Episode We Cover: The medium-term rental strategy explained and how to use it to make 400% more cash flow Short-term rental regulations and why many hosts may need to switch to medium-term stays Best real estate markets for medium-term rentals and signs of low vacancy Unique amenities that will get you CONSTANT business (bikes, cars, grocery delivery, and more!)

779: How Delivering Pizzas Helped Me Build a 27-Unit Rental Portfolio w/Pamela Bardhi

The key to financial freedom? Work as a pizza delivery driver! Not only will you learn how to handle high-pressure situations, but you might also find your next property on a regular pizza run! At least that’s what Pamela Bardhi did to build her twenty-seven-unit rental property portfolio and reach financial independence in her late twenties! Pamela’s family moved to the United States when she was just five years old, thrusting her into the restaurant business before she realized that real estate was her true passion. Pamela did everything right. She studied hard, got scholarships, worked at internships, and built her own business, but she was still miserable. Working every day of the week, often twelve hours at a time, was eating away at her. She wanted some side income to help her dial back the time spent building her business, but when her first deal turned into a $100,000 profit, the property game was too enticing to resist. Since then, she’s scaled to massive heights and wants you to do the same. With twenty-seven rental units, over one hundred deals done, and a financially free lifestyle by thirty-one, Pamela knows what it takes to build a property portfolio FAST. But she also knows what can make it crumble. Pamela shares her three BIGGEST lessons learned from doing over one hundred deals and how she turned delivering pizzas into a passive income stream that will create generational wealth for her whole family. In This Episode We Cover: How to reach financial independence with rentals in under ten years  The three biggest lessons every real estate investor must learn to NOT get burnt on a deal Passive vs. active income and why the investor life isn’t for everyone  Becoming your own boss and quitting corporate to do what truly fuels you How the right mentor can immensely speed up your road to early retirement  Real estate partnership red flags that’ll lead to you losing money or pulling your hair out  And So Much More!

778: How to Build a Million Dollar Rental Portfolio with Little Time OR Money w/Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah

778: How to Build a Million Dollar Rental Portfolio with Little Time OR Money w/Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah

 If you want to build a rental portfolio, you need to know how to scale the right way. Buying a property every year or two is good, but it won’t give you the financial freedom you desire. However, if you know how to double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you’re acquiring without adding tons of tasks (or stress) to your plate, you could be financially independent faster than you’ve ever thought. This is precisely what Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah did, building a ten-million-dollar real estate portfolio in less than a decade. As two burnt-out corporate workers, Niti and Palak were tired of putting their jobs before their future family. So after having children, they realized it was time to start building something that would help them regain their freedom instead of shackling them to golden handcuffs. With a busy schedule and little time, Niti and Palak were forced to automate, delegate, and systematize their real estate business. And now, you can copy their exact steps. In their newest book, Accelerate Your Real Estate: Build a Hands-Off Rental Portfolio with the SCALE Strategy, Niti and Palak uncover the five-step system to unlock eight-figure wealth. They used this same strategy to build their portfolio with little free time or money to throw at projects. In this episode, they’ll review these five BRRRR-inspired steps, explain why today’s market isn’t what most people think it is, and debunk the myths that’ll stop you from investing. In This Episode We Cover: The five-step “SCALE” system Niti and Palak used to build an eight-figure portfolio  Quitting corporate to find financial freedom, start a family, and build wealth  BRRRRing in 2023 and why the Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat strategy isn’t dead Investing with high mortgage rates and why inexperienced investors are wrong about them Outsourcing, delegating, and how to run a HUGE portfolio without any employees  Real estate myths that stop you from building wealth (and how to get around them) And So Much More!

776: $42K/Month in Cash Flow By Buying a…High School? w/Jesse Wig

776: $42K/Month in Cash Flow By Buying a…High School? w/Jesse Wig

You’ve heard cash flow stories before, but NOTHING like this. We’ve talked to hundreds of investors that have flipped houses, bought apartment complexes, storage facilities, and more. But a high school? A high school rental property? Surely this has to be a first. If you want to know the pioneer behind this absolutely insane passive income project, look no further than Jesse Wig, who turned a dilapidated high school into a thirty-one-unit apartment building. But before Jesse went on a literal wild ride through this high school, he faced defeats that would stop most investors in their tracks. After making just ten dollars per hour working under a flipper, Jesse tried to do his first deal himself, but things didn’t go to plan. He walked away from his first real estate deal in debt with a massive loss but decided to try again. Jesse learned quickly from his mistakes and started buying rentals in an up-and-coming area right outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Through a brilliant investing tactic that we’ve never heard of before, Jesse was able to catapult and control his rental properties’ values, skyrocketing his personal wealth while bringing up an entire neighborhood with him. Soon after that, he found his off-market high school and, through some savvy partnerships and serious work, turned it into a cash cow unlike anything we’ve ever seen on the show. Jesse is about to school us on the right way to do real estate! In This Episode We Cover Turning a $100K high school into a $42K/month apartment complex  What to do when your first flip or real estate deal becomes a huge flop  The smartest way to shoot up your property’s value and boost your neighborhood’s desirability  Unbelievable real estate conversion projects and why creative investing often has the most cash flow  Raising private capital when doing large deals and why you NEED partners with skills you don’t possess  Signs that your real estate agent might be the love of your life  And So Much More!

775: BiggerNews: Rent Unaffordability Crosses Dangerous New Threshold w/Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia

Rent prices have steadily risen for as long as we can remember. But, few of us would have ever expected the unimaginable rent hikes of 2020-2022. With major metros seeing double-digit year-over-year rent percentage bumps, residents were forced to throw a larger chunk of their income toward housing. Now, with higher rent prices than ever before, America has become “rent-burdened,” and a dangerous threshold has been crossed. What’s causing this rise in rents? Are investors to blame? And what’s a solution that could benefit builders, buyers, and renters? We’ve got Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody’s Commercial Real Estate division to give us their findings. Lu and Thomas’s team have been tracking rent prices carefully, logging which cities have seen the most significant price increases, which are becoming increasingly unaffordable, and what can be done about the problem. With a lack of housing supply and inflation eating away Americans’ income, what can everyday investors like us do? Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem that could help curb unaffordability while presenting a profit for investors. Lu and Thomas go over exactly what would have to happen to return to a normalized, affordable housing market and what’s hurting our efforts to get there. Plus, with rents becoming unaffordable for many young Americans, our Dave duo asks, “Is real estate still safe to invest in?” All that and more in this edition of BiggerNews!  In This Episode We Cover America’s “rent-burdened” status and why prices have crossed a critical threshold  Real estate markets that have seen the largest increase in rent over the past three years Luxury housing and how its development is hurting the effort to increase affordable housing  Whether or not investors are to blame for rents skyrocketing  “Inclusionary housing” and how investors can fill the affordable housing need while making a profit  Whether or not real estate is still safe if renters get priced out of the market  And So Much More!

774: Seeing Greene: Bleeding Rentals, Bad Flips, and The Safe Haven For Your Cash

Buy real estate or face your dollar’s demise. While this may sound like doomsday prophesying or over-bullish investor attitudes towards properties, the fact is that most investors today won’t make it. With inflation raging ahead, home prices double-digit percentages higher than they were a few years ago, and food and energy costs spiking, your cash isn’t safe. The value of your money is burning, and your bank account won’t be able to extinguish the flames. But there is still hope to build wealth. Welcome back to a macroeconomic Seeing Greene episode where David tells you what he really thinks about today’s inflationary economy. If you want to grow your wealth while prices pop off, this is the episode to tune into. But it’s not just CPI rate rants this time; David will also advise on what to do when down payment requirements more than double at the last second, why Midwest “cash flow” markets aren’t what they seem, building vs. buying an ADU (accessory dwelling unit), and when to sell a rental or flip that is bleeding money every month.  Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: What to invest in when inflation is eating away at your hard-earned money  Down payment requirements and what to do when you can’t close with low money down Cash flow vs. appreciation and using “portfolio architecture” to build the BEST portfolio possible Buying vs. building an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and which will make you wealthier as a result  How to make money on a house flip gone wrong (even if it’s in a rough neighborhood)  Negative equity and whether or not to sell a rental that is losing value What to do with $30K in today’s expensive investing environment  And So Much More!

773: Replacing His Income with $70K/Year Cash Flow After a Close Call with Death w/Pasha Maleknia

Financial freedom isn’t important until your life flashes before your eyes. When everything could end, thoughts of your partner, children, and family come to mind, and most notably, what you left behind for them. Pasha Maleknia was thrown into a warzone and came within minutes of meeting his end. As he sat, not knowing whether or not he would ever see his wife again, he made a promise to build financial freedom for his family so that if anything happened to him, they would be protected. Pasha kept his promise and is here to share exactly how he got it done. Through chaos, Pasha was given a second chance at building the life he dreamed of, starting a real estate investment portfolio that has grown to a double-digit unit count with close to six figures in expected cash flow. None of what he did was easy, but using his background in coding, systems, and optimizing everything for efficiency, Pasha is building a hands-off real estate empire that will set his whole family financially free. If you’ve struggled to progress with rental properties, do NOT miss out on Pasha’s story. He explains exactly how his “why” forced him to reach financial freedom in only a few years and what he’s doing now to ensure his wealth never stops growing. Don’t wait for it to be too late. Put your life in your hands, and take Pasha’s words to heart. In This Episode We Cover: The near-death experience that forced Pasha to find financial freedom for his family  Building your “income-producing box” that will take care of your family for decades  DIY rehabs and why you DON’T need to know everything before you start investing  Pasha’s killer first rental property and the “surprise” basement that came with it  Using the BRRRR method to quickly multiply your portfolio without much cash needed  How to automate your ENTIRE rental property portfolio so you do nothing  And So Much More!

772: Stop Looking for Perfect Properties, Search for These Instead

772: Stop Looking for Perfect Properties, Search for These Instead

Real estate investing has changed a LOT over the past few years. For most people getting into rental property investing in the mid-2010s, profitable properties were plentiful, cash flow was almost automatic, and equity was flowing in the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands every year. Unfortunately, this real estate market is long gone. Now, there’s blood in the streets as new investors try to salvage sickly-looking deals that don’t cash flow and come with pathetic-looking profits. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why now is the best time to buy. Make no mistake, real estate investing isn’t easy, and just buying any house WON’T make you rich. But, the 2023 housing market has far more opportunity than most people think, and David Greene, Henry Washington, and Rob Abasolo are here to explain how. These three investors have been gobbling up rental properties as quickly as possible. And even with lower margins, slim cash flow, and limited equity, there is some method to their madness. If NOTHING you’re looking at is cash flowing and almost every home seems overpriced (especially with today’s mortgage rates), this is THE episode to tune into. In it, David, Henry, and Rob will detail how you can “create” a profitable property while the masses sit on the sidelines, as well as go over real, authentic deals they’re doing today to show you it isn’t impossible to invest in 2023.  In This Episode We Cover: How to analyze a real estate deal and what to do if none of the properties show a profit  The 2023 housing market and how things have changed over the past few years Investor expectations and why the times of “get rich quick” are long gone  How to build, buy, or force equity into your rentals so you get rich in the background Simple steps the average investor can do to make their real estate deals work  Renting vs. flipping and which exit to take in a volatile housing market  And So Much More!

771: Seeing Greene: Getting Into Your First Property is Cheaper Than You Think w/Kristina Smallhorn

You’ve been lied to about affordable housing. Most people will either tell you it’s impossible to buy an affordable home or that those buying affordable homes are outright stupid. The term “affordable” has been correlated with inexperienced buyers getting cheap deals on homes, often ending up in trailer parks or something of the sort. But things have changed. Mortgage rates are at decade highs, home prices tower over what everyday workers can afford, and a new age of affordability is upon us—we’re here to unlock it for you. A new forest of David Greenery has sprouted as we welcome Kristina Smallhorn and Rob Abasolo onto this episode of Seeing Greene. Kristina, Louisiana-based realtor, has been fighting for affordability, helping get her clients into creative homes that don’t break the bank. She’s here to dispel all the myths about affordable housing, manufactured homes, modular homes, land investing, and more. We’ll touch on build-to-rent homes and who should NOT be investing in them, green flags to look out for when buying land, and the danger behind new forty-year mortgages. Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene.

770: Retirement Accounts Collecting Dust? Use Them to Buy Real Estate! w/Kaaren Hall

Did you know you can invest in real estate using funds you’ve probably forgotten about? For years, you’ve been socking away money into your IRA or 401(k) to ensure an abundant retirement. The problem? You’ve only been able to invest those funds into passive investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. What about the investors who want a more active income stream with bigger tax benefits, more equity upside, and plenty of cash flow? Can you use your retirement accounts to build wealth with real estate? If you ask Kaaren Hall, her answer is a resounding yes. Kaaren saw quickly how the real money was being made in real estate, so she began investing herself, later realizing that she could use her retirement funds to build a real estate portfolio faster. She founded uDirect IRA Services to help other investors build wealth a better way, opening up more options for passive income, so your retirement accounts can grow into the millions. If you want to scale your real estate portfolio but don’t have the cash on hand, this could be your PERFECT option. Kaaren goes over exactly how to use your retirement accounts to invest in real estate, what you can (and definitely can’t) do when investing this way, and how you can start raising capital for your own deal using other people’s retirement funds. This is a $40 trillion untapped opportunity, so don’t miss out! In This Episode We Cover: Tax-free real estate profits and using self-directed IRAs to build your retirement accounts How Kaaren used retirement funds to buy her newest investment property  The self-directed IRA explained and why SO many savvy investors use one  The “layers” of retirement that’ll help you build massive wealth for later in life  Mistakes you can make when using self-directed funds to invest (and how to avoid them) And So Much More!

767: Multifamily Market Update + What a 20 Year Veteran Knows That You Don’t w/Angie Smith

The multifamily market is about to buckle. With sellers still riding the highs of 2022, buyers are at a crossroads; keep pursuing deals or wait for the market to go south. And, with mortgage rates rising and short-term financing coming due, many multifamily owners could be forced to sell their properties to the highest bidder. While some of this may sound like speculation, we’ve got a multifamily forecast straight from an expert in the industry, Angie Smith, from Strategic Management Partners. Angie and her company manage 25,000 rental units at a time. Yes, you read that right! For the past decade, Angie has been the go-to manager for top apartment complexes across Georgia, dealing with everything from noisy tenants to in-unit farms and goat grilling operations (seriously). She knows the ins and outs of property management, what makes a good property manager, and why self-managing isn’t always the wisest move. In this episode, Angie gives her take on the 2023 housing market and when she thinks multifamily will start to get shaky, why most investors are wrong about property management, how to choose a property manager, and the questions you should ask ANY management company before you hire them. If you want TRULY passive income through real estate, you DON’T want to manage your rentals alone.  In This Episode We Cover 2023 multifamily market updates and when prices could start to fall Lessons learned from managing 25,000 rental units, plus an INSANE story about an in-unit butchery Third-party property management vs. self-management (and who can handle it)  Three questions to ask ANY property manager before you hire them  “Receivership” and what happens to owners who can’t pay their bills  What you should NOT ask a property manager to do on your behalf  And So Much More!

766: Explosive Growth Could Be in Store for These Two Real Estate Markets w/Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen

766: Explosive Growth Could Be in Store for These Two Real Estate Markets w/Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen

Two real estate markets still look like they’ve got room to grow in 2023, even as home prices face downward pressure for high mortgage rates and days on market begin to creep up. Markets like these two exploded in 2020-2022 and are still seeing strong demographic signs that more growth could be on the way. But, as two markets that have witnessed some of the most dramatic price appreciation in history, is now a worthwhile time to invest? In this episode, we’re doing a market deep dive into two hot housing markets, Tampa, Florida, and Dallas, Texas. These two metro areas saw population booms like never before, shooting their home prices high and keeping competition hot, even as rates rise. But are these two markets starting to see a slowdown in 2023, or are there surefire signs that another wave of buyer activity is about to take place? With so many Americans moving to Texas and Florida, could this be the appreciation play of a lifetime? We’re joined by Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen, realtors in the Tampa and Dallas areas, respectively, to talk with David Greene and Dave Meyer about the potential of these two property markets. They’ll touch on how to find cash flow even with high home prices, the strategies they’re using today to lock in wealth-building buys for their clients, and why the days of bidding wars and buyer ferocity may be far from over. In This Episode We Cover: Updates on the Tampa and Dallas markets and whether or not there are still opportunities to buy Florida cash flow and whether or not the sunshine state has been tapped out of passive income  The Texas “BEAF” strategy wealthy investors are using to buy better properties  Short-term rental risk and regulations and what to do if your BnB gets banned  Out-of-state investing and which investors should put money into these property markets Mortgage rate impacts and what high home costs have done to buyer competition  And So Much More!

765: Seeing Greene: Out-of-State Mistakes, “Low Risk” Real Estate, & False Cash Flow

Real estate investing was never meant to be easy, but there are a few ways you can get started without putting a ton of your money or time at risk. Most real estate investors go gung-ho from the start, buying as many cheap rental properties as possible, only later to realize their mistake. But here’s the thing; you don’t need to invest in sketchy markets or buy dirt-cheap rentals to make money, you just need a bit of creativity if you want to get ahead. On this episode of Seeing Greene, we’re taking you through a plethora of investing strategies. We talk about how to invest in real estate when at the tail end of your career, whether to convert your garage into a rental or buy an out-of-state investment, the true cost of holding onto a risky rental property, and why your “cash flow” numbers probably aren’t what they seem. And, if you’re a young investor thinking of skipping college to dive head-first into real estate, you may want to hear David’s advice before you make that move. Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: House hacking in an expensive market vs. buying an out-of-state rental  Garage conversions and the surprising profits of turning storage space into a rental unit Going to college vs. becoming an agent and why you don’t have to choose between the two The low-risk way to begin real estate investing (even if you’re starting late!)

764: Making $200K/Year in JUST 3 Years with This High-Cash Flow Strategy w/Brittany Swait

For real estate investors, passive income is almost always the goal. You may be making good money at your job, but the long days, longer nights, lack of sleep, and limited time off is probably leaving you feeling fatigued. This is exactly how Brittany Swait felt after a severe diagnosis put her life in danger. She was working harder than ever, but the time with her family was slowly slipping away. That was until she started investing. Brittany was able to build a fifty-nine-unit rental property portfolio in just three years. These properties bring in a staggering $200,000 per year passive paycheck, allowing Brittany to focus on her family, not take tasks from a boss. But this portfolio wasn’t easy to build, even though it happened quickly. Brittany had to learn the BRRRR method, take considerable risks (like draining her retirement accounts), and put herself in an entirely new position. Now, just a few years later, Brittany is building her rental property portfolio at a fast pace, but she loves every minute of it. In this episode, she’ll walk through the exact strategy she uses to make such high cash flow, her five tips for remodeling and renovating that will save you TONS of time, and how she’s been able to pull her cash out of the deals she’s doing. If you want to scale your real estate portfolio, Brittany is the person to listen to.   In This Episode We Cover: The one skill that allowed Brittany to scale from zero to fifty-nine rentals in three years Medium-term rental investing and how to triple your rent with one strategic move Using Facebook to find off-market deals and the one factor that matters MUCH more than you’d think How to estimate rehab costs and five tips you MUST follow when doing a renovation  BRRRRing in 2023 and how to get around the one-year seasoning requirement for a cash-out refinance  Being more than your job and how to build a life that YOU are in control of  And So Much More!

And while most of us know her from Shark Tank, Barbara swims in a league of her own as one of the most successful real estate investors and brokers in New York City.

She talks about her infamous word-of-mouth campaign that sold out an eighty-unit apartment complex in hours, the “Corcoran Report” that landed her on the front page of The New York Times, and why you MUST talk to waiters whenever investing in a new area.  In This Episode We Cover: Barbara’s investing formula that will make you a FORTUNE (if you take the risk!)
