1204 - Here’s How I’m Growing My Portfolio This Year—And How You Can Too by Dave Meyer Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

The commercial real estate market has been faced with headwinds for years, and 2024 may not be any different. With weak growth in the sector and a high interest rate environment that has pushed the cost of ownership to new heights, the CRE space is expected to continue falling in value this year.

In fact, property values could fall another 10% after falling 11% last year, according to Capital Economics’ deputy chief property economist Kiran Raichura. He sees growth softening “as the industrial rent boom gives way to more ‘normal’ growth rates and apartment rents flatline,” he wrote.

1102 - 5 Ways You Can Get Rich WITHOUT Investing in Real Estate by Anna Cottrell Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

Investing in real estate can be a great way to generate wealth, but it isn’t for everyone. For one, the term ‘‘passive income’’ really does not describe real estate investing accurately.

Becoming an investor is a much more hands-on process than just buying a house and renting it out. All the maintenance and potential issues with tenants will become your responsibility. And if you want to grow your portfolio to multiple properties, the responsibilities will grow exponentially.

The time and effort required simply isn’t realistic for someone who already has a full-time job, for example, or existing family commitments. On the other hand, some people would like to invest in real estate but just don’t have the cash.

1201 - Do You Know What Your Number One Risk Is as a Passive Investor? It’s Fraud by Paul Moore Jan 28, 2024

Show notes

You’re undoubtedly wondering what the answer to this question is. I was, too.

As a due diligence partner for over 800 investors, we think about risks all the time. Since our default is to say no, we probably think about risks more than most people do.

In The Road Less Stupid, author Keith Cunningham says (I’m paraphrasing):

Rookie investors: “How much can I make?”
Seasoned investors: “How much can I lose?”
Professional investors: “Can I afford to lose that much?

We believe the best investors think about risk more than return.

Are you considering listing your property on Airbnb? Understanding how much an Airbnb host can make before listing your property as a short-term rental (STR) is crucial.

1197 - Rents Show Biggest Decline in 3 Years—Should Landlords Panic? By Anna Cottrell Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

Redfin’s November rent report is out, showing that median rent prices declined by 2.1% year over year. This is the biggest decline since 2020, and renters nationwide will breathe a sigh of relief. Landlords and investors? Perhaps not so much, although there are regional variations that are worth exploring if you’re planning on investing in real estate in 2024.

Asking rent prices have been dropping steadily since May 2022, when the median U.S. rental price shot up to above $2,000 per month. At that point, rents were growing at a monstrous rate of 15% year over year as a result of the pandemic-induced scarcity of available rental homes.

1196 - What Is Rent to Own? By Samantha Hawrylack Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

Real estate investors have many opportunities to invest in real estate and potentially earn a profit. Sometimes, though, you want that guarantee that you’ll be able to sell the home and have an exit strategy. While there are very few guarantees in real estate, a rent-to-own contract may be just what you need.

So what is rent-to-own, and how does it work?

1195 - How I Use Data Analytics in Real Estate Investing by Eric Fernwood Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

In 2004, I was living in NYC when I decided to start a new career. To identify potential business opportunities, I thought about some of the more frustrating experiences I’d had. I quickly narrowed the list to buying investment properties.

The problem was that all real estate agents could do was send me MLS data sheets for the properties I selected; no analytics, processes, or services. I had to do everything myself. This was time-consuming, and I made frustrating mistakes that cost me time and money to correct later.

So, there was a business opportunity. Now, I need to know where to create this business (not New York or New Jersey).
