    4 Ways to Make Passive Income from Real Estate (Don’t Quit Your 9-5!) w/Devon Kennard Oct 11, 2024
    Show notes

    Real estate investing is one of the best vehicles for building wealth, reaching financial independence, and saving for retirement, but you don’t need to become a full-time investor to reap the benefits. If you have no plans to leave your W2 job or manage rentals, there are several ways to use real estate for passive income!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! When Devon Kennard entered the NFL, he ran into more money than he had ever made. But with no guarantee of a pay raise or second contract, Devon forewent the flashy car and multi-million-dollar home and started saving and investing instead. Shortly after buying his first rental property, Devon realized that he was going to need passive or semi-passive income streams if he wanted to have success on the football field. He landed on four different types of passive investments that have helped him scale his portfolio to twenty-nine doors and over forty syndications!

    In this episode, Devon talks about the importance of increasing your income in your working years and why small wins make all the difference early on in your investing journey. You’ll also learn about the dangers of “shady” real estate syndications and how to properly vet an operator, as well as the differences between fast and slow money!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How Devon scaled his real estate portfolio while playing in the NFL

    Four passive real estate investing strategies you can use today

    Speeding up your financial independence timeline with real estate side hustles

    Fast money versus slow money (and which bucket you should be filling)

    The pros and cons of syndications and how to weed out “shady” operators

    And So Much More!

    How Much Do You Need for Early Retirement? (How to Calculate Your FI Number) Oct 08, 2024
    Show notes

    How Much Do You Need for Early Retirement? (How to Calculate Your FI Number)

    Podcast Description

    What’s your financial independence number (FI/FIRE number)? Are you being too conservative, or are you cutting things close? Do you even have one? Today, we’re taking a deep dive into this hotly debated topic to help you build a nest egg that will support your early retirement!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! How much money do you actually need to retire? For years, the four-percent rule has been the “official” stance of the FI community. But why is it, then, that so many people continue saving and investing when they can comfortably retire? In this episode, Scott and Mindy talk about their own FI numbers, how they calculated them, and how their financial positions have evolved over time. You’ll learn whether the four-percent rule still works today or if you need a larger buffer!

    If you’re worried about inflation, one of the best things you can do is keep your living expenses in check. This might seem out of your control, but there are several ways to either lock in certain costs or eliminate them entirely. We’ll discuss the many advantages of a paid-off house, self-managing your rental properties in retirement, and a one-time investment that could help you save thousands of dollars over your lifetime!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to calculate your financial independence number (and when to adjust it!)

    The four-percent rule explained (and whether it still works in 2024)

    Why most people chasing FIRE don’t retire on the four-percent rule

    How to control your expenses and protect against inflation in retirement

    The “home run” investment that could save you thousands of dollars

    And So Much More!

    Why This “Physician on FIRE” Ignored the 4% Rule & Delayed Early Retirement w/Leif Dahleen, MD Oct 04, 2024
    Show notes

    Why do many wealthy people wait so long to retire? Despite earning a physician’s salary, living frugally, and saving what most would call “more than enough” money, today’s guest worked for another four years before pulling the trigger on early retirement. Is he on to something? Does the four-percent rule no longer work in 2024? Stay tuned to find out!

    Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Leif Dahleen, MD, the “Physician on FIRE,” was already financially independent when he discovered the FIRE movement. But rather than calling time on a successful healthcare career, he continued to beef up his nest egg. Why? Leif had determined that he needed forty-to-fifty times his annual expenses to feel comfortable walking away from his nine-to-five. Do more FI-focused folks need to follow Leif’s formula to account for the unknown?

    We’ve all dreamed of what a day in the life of an early retiree might look like. Leif had his own expectations, but in this episode, he shares what he discovered when his schedule was suddenly clear. You’ll also learn about the mindset high-income earners need to avoid squandering wealth, and why putting down roots in a low-cost-of-living area could be the difference between fast-tracking retirement and keeping up with the Joneses!


    In This Episode We Cover

    Why most people DON’T retire on the four-percent rule (even though it works!)

    Fast-tracking the path to early retirement in a low-cost-of-living area

    How to actually leave your W2 job once you have enough money to retire

    Why earning a high income doesn’t guarantee FIRE (and common pitfalls to avoid!)

    Choosing the right retirement withdrawal strategy for your financial situation

    Why Leif won’t adjust his retirement lifestyle as he continues to build wealth

    And So Much More!

    The Realistic, Repeatable Path to Investing for FIRE in Your 20s Sep 27, 2024
    Show notes

    Young, old, or in between, you need to hear this episode! Today’s guest paid off over $80,000 of debt, grew her net worth to $100,000 and did it all just years after graduating from college without a sky-high income. How did she make such quick progress, and what’s her secret to skyrocketing her net worth early in her career? She’s sharing it all in this episode, and you (no matter your age) can follow her repeatable path, too!

    Want to see your net worth leap so you can fast-track your road to FIRE? Anna Foley is the person you should listen to. Through common-sense smart spending, diligent investing, and salary-increasing career pivots, Anna and her partner went from $80,000 debt to debt-free and finally hit six-figure net worth status. The best part? They did all of it WITHOUT giving up what makes life enjoyable, and they still sport a phenomenal savings rate!

    Anna is sharing how she saves a significant portion of her income every month, why she decided to rent (not buy) a house, how “paying yourself first” can get you debt-free before you know it, and why she does NOT follow the traditional advice of chasing a “FIRE number.” In your twenties? Copy Anna’s plan! Closer to retirement? Follow Anna’s smart saving and investing tactics, and you can get there faster!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to become debt-free and achieve a six-figure net worth before you’re thirty!

    Why Anna decided to rent a house, not buy one, to maximize her savings

    What Anna invests 100% of her income in (it’s not real estate!)

    The “middle-class trap” to avoid when maxing out your retirement accounts

    Why you DON’T need a FIRE number, and why Anna’s more achievable goals work better

    Boosting your income and why job-hopping can explode your income-generating potential

    FI With 5 Kids and Debt-Free in Just Over a Decade! Sep 24, 2024
    Show notes

    Does FIRE seem impossible while raising a family? We’re about to prove that you CAN have it all. Emily and Joel are financially independent while raising five kids and still have the money to travel the world, take plenty of vacations, and sleep in without worrying about a job. They reached FI in just over a decade and did it without EVER having a high income. How’d they do it? One “financial superpower” allowed them to do what most people won’t.

    Emily and Joel started with $150,000 in student loan debt. Their accounts dwindled at the end of every month, so they began to pay off their loans with the “debt snowball” method. Fast forward a few years, and they were debt-free, but now they had a new challenge: building their net worth!

    Today, they’re sharing the incredible journey they took to go from personal finance zeros to heroes, the “why” behind achieving FI at such young ages, and how they did it all (including keeping expenses SUPER low) while raising not one, not two, but FIVE children. Think FI isn’t possible for you? Think again—copy Emily and Joel’s plan!


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to pay off debt FAST with the “debt snowball” method

    Minimizing your expenses and how spending less gets you to FIRE way faster

    Why you DON’T need to cut out travel/vacations on your path to financial freedom

    The “financial superpower” you must cultivate if you want to retire early

    What 100% of Emily and Joel’s portfolio is in and the simple path to building wealth

    Starting side hustles that pay for your life and why working while FI is NOT a bad thing

    Is Refinancing Worth It with Today’s Falling Rates? (+ How Much It’ll Cost) Sep 20, 2024
    Show notes

    When should you refinance your mortgage? Is now the time since interest rates have finally fallen? Or will refinancing down to today’s rates not be worth it when, six months from now, interest rates could be substantially lower? We brought on an expert mortgage loan officer to walk through the cost-benefit analysis of refinancing in 2024 and when a refinance is NOT worth the money.

    Greg Roller has closed over a billion dollars in loans, but surprisingly, he’s very cautious with homeowners about WHEN to refinance. Mortgage rates have already dropped significantly but could be trending down even more in 2024 and 2025. Is now the time to refinance? Greg discusses how much a refinance costs in 2024, how to know it’s worth it to refinance, what you’ll need to qualify, the differences between cash-out refinances and rate-and-term refinances, and why falling for a “low rate” could cost you in the long run.

    Plus, Greg shares some tips to help your refinance go as smoothly and quickly as possible, as well as how you can refinance for FREE with a rate option most people have zero clue about.


    In This Episode We Cover

    Refinancing explained and how much the average refinance costs in 2024

    When to refinance and the rule of thumb that highlights whether or not it’s worth it

    The low-rate trap that inexperienced borrowers get caught in (you’ll get hit with hidden costs!)

    Refinancing multiple properties and how to do this the RIGHT way

    The easy method to see where mortgage rates are headed and whether they’ll rise or fall

    How to refinance for free by asking your loan officer for a “rate stack”

    And So Much More!

    564: How to Make Truly Passive Income with “Syndication” Real Estate Sep 17, 2024
    Show notes

    Visit PassivePockets, your resource for passive investing with syndications.


    Passive investing is most people’s goal, especially if they’re trying to achieve FIRE. They don’t want to be weighed down by managing a dozen rental properties, an active business, or a complicated stock portfolio that requires constant check-ins. Instead, many of us want that “mailbox money,” with checks coming in without us having to do the work ourselves so we can focus on doing what we love. Sounds enticing, right? Then “syndication” real estate investing might be perfect for you.


    We’re thrilled to have the newest member of the BiggerPockets podcast network, Jim Pfeifer, host of PassivePockets, on today to talk about this one investment type that changed his life. Jim has invested in over 100 syndications and has been able to reap the significant rewards of passive income, massive tax benefits, and diversification through real estate syndications.


    Today, he gives a beginner-friendly breakdown, touching on what a syndication is, why it’s an excellent investment for FIRE, how to vet a syndication BEFORE you invest, questions to ask a syndicator, and the unbeatable tax benefits you can get from sitting back and collecting passive income checks! Ready to make real estate returns without all the work? This one’s for you!


    In This Episode We Cover

    Welcoming PassivePockets, the newest BiggerPockets podcast network show!

    Real estate syndications explained and why they’re such an unbeatable investment

    How to vet a syndication operator and the questions you MUST ask before you invest

    The two barriers to entry for syndications and why you DON’T need to be an accredited investor to get in the game

    Tax benefits galore and how Jim is paying $0 in taxes on his syndication profits

    How much a syndication can make YOU (and why it might beat owning rental properties!)

    563: Why Aren’t More “Normal” People Achieving FIRE? Sep 13, 2024
    Show notes

    Has BiggerPockets Money become too focused on FIRE (financial independence, retire early)? For the past seven years, we’ve been bringing you shows highlighting the journeys of those who left their jobs to enjoy early retirement.Some of these guests did it faster than others by making more money, increasing their frugality, investing smart, or building a business. But the question many of our listeners are wondering is: Is this even possible for the average, “normal” person?


    Today, we’re taking a hard look at the show’s future and asking ourselves whether or not focusing on FIRE is still the right path forward. Should we shift topics to help the everyday American get a financial leg up, or is continuing the FIRE-focused path the best way to help YOU, our listener? This isn’t a rhetorical question; we genuinely want to know!

    562: Police Officer Surpasses $10K/Month FI Goal w/Out-of-State Sober Living Investments Sep 10, 2024
    Show notes

    Achieving your FI number in just four years? If you want to do it too, you must try something different. This couple found a niche within a niche, allowing them to hit the coveted “1% rule” in real estate, skyrocketing their cash flow and passive income and allowing them to make more than almost any other landlord in their area. So, how did they do it, and what was the investment that got them there?


    David and Morgan Stanhope weren’t real estate investors five years ago. They didn’t come from investor families and had zero real estate investing experience. One day, at his job as a New York State Police Investigator, David met a mentor who would change how he thought about money, financial freedom, and passive income. This was perfect because David and Morgan were already in a great place to invest—Upstate New York. But David chose NOT to invest in his home market, and for good reason.


    They went south to a state known for higher home prices and crushingly high insurance costs. There, they found acreative rental property investing strategy, allowing them to make much more cash flow than regular rentals. Four years later, they’ve surpassed their $10,000/month FI goal. Now, they’re on track to hit an even bigger achievement: $70,000 per MONTH. Today, we’re talking to them about exactly how they’re getting there with investment properties you’ve probably never heard (or thought) about.


    In This Episode We Cover

    How to hit real estate’s “1% rule” with creative, high-cash flow rentals

    Borrowing from your 401(k) to fund your first real estate deal

    Making real estate cash flow EVEN with eight percent mortgage rates (yes, it’s possible)

    Why David WON’T quit his job, even though he has already hit his FI number

    Finding contractors and vendors when out-of-state real estate investing

    Using other people’s money to invest in real estate (and why you may want experience before you do)

    And So Much More!
