821: From Making $48K/Year to Millionaire By His Mid-30s w/Ryan Tseko Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

Ryan Tseko became a multifamily millionaire by his mid-thirties after giving up his previous career to invest. By the time Ryan was thirty, he already had twenty-one rental units, paid off over six figures in student debt, and used his pilot job to scope out new property markets. Everything was going to plan until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself. Ryan left everything and made the jump.

But how did Ryan end up in his multi-millionaire position? How did he go from house hacking “crash pads” for pilots to helping manage one of the largest real estate portfolios in the country? A better question—how did a commercial pilot become Grant Cardone’s right-hand man? Ryan’s story is unbelievable, but it’s true.

In today’s episode, Ryan will share why he gave up his high-paid job to bust his butt working for Cardone Capital, why Grant Cardone told him to sell his ENTIRE real estate portfolio, and the two-minute deal analysis Ryan does that instantly tells him whether a property is worth pursuing. Ryan proves ANYONE can go from nothing to much more than something—and you can, too!

In This Episode We Cover:

Becoming a millionaire by your mid-thirties and turning active income into passive income

House hacking, “crash pads,” and how to make money off of your first home

Paying off six figures in student debt and why you MUST be frugal at the beginning of your investing career

Millionaire tips from Grant Cardone and what to do when your property ISN’T profiting

The two-minute deal analysis Ryan uses at Cardone Capital EVERY day

And So Much More!

820: The Late Starter’s Guide to Retirement with Real Estate (40s, 50s, or 60s!) w/Kim Woolf Bosler and Kyle Mast Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Can you start real estate investing in your 40s, 50s, or 60s? We’re here to prove that it’s 100% possible, even if you have zero real estate experience or feel like you’re getting a “late start” to rental properties. You don’t need a lot to begin, and if you have some of the basics down, you can go from zero rental properties to twenty like today’s guest, Kim Woolf Bosler, who started her real estate portfolio at age fifty-six, with six children and twenty grandchildren!

But before we get into Kim’s fast-paced property story, we’ll chat with Kyle Mast, the financially-free CFP (certified financial planner) who already achieved financial independence with the help of real estate investing. Kyle is here to help show that even if you don’t have millions of dollars in the bank or rental property experience, you can STILL invest, no matter your age. He’ll talk about where to pull money from, how to increase your income in retirement, home equity, and more!

After some solid tips from Kyle, Kim will share her story of going from primary residence owner to building a portfolio of twenty properties in a VERY short amount of time. Now she has the flexibility to live every day as she chooses and use all her extra income to spend time with her BIG family! You can copy Kim’s exact strategy by tuning into today’s episode!

In This Episode We Cover:

How to start investing in real estate in your 40s, 50s, or 60s

Using your retirement accounts (like 401(k)s) to buy your first rental property

Scaling your passive income FAST with out-of-state investment properties

Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and leveraging yours to invest

1031 exchanges and turning taxable gains into a tax-free “dream house”

819: What Caused 2023’s WILD Insurance Market (and When Prices Could Fall) w/Robert J. Hamilton Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

2023’s insurance market is bad. Really bad. “As bad as I’ve ever seen,” says Insurance Office of America’s Robert J. Hamilton. He’s never seen home and multifamily insurance prices as high as today. But, he has good reason to believe that a better insurance market could be upon us soon, especially as prices continue to ramp up and providers get priced out of the market.

If you’re a property owner, there’s a good chance your insurance premium increased significantly in price last year and the year before. After several unprecedented natural disasters, states like Texas, Florida, and California have seen carriers massively raise rates or leave their markets entirely. But why now? And how long will this last? Robert walks us through exactly what’s caused the higher insurance rates, why so many carriers have given up or died out, and “the beginning of a reset” that could be on the horizon.

Andrew Cushman, long-time friend of the show and multifamily investor, gives his seven quick tips on finding a better rate and protecting your property if and when disaster strikes. DO NOT analyze another deal before you watch this episode because, by the time you finish, your new insurance rate could ruin the profit potential.

In This Episode We Cover:

The wild 2023 insurance crisis explained and why rates have gone up so dramatically

The “capacity crunch” forcing insurance carriers to leave risky markets

What’s causing rates to rise and the “reinsurance” problem carriers face

Underwriting your next rental/multifamily and how to properly predict property insurance costs

The safest states/areas to invest in that carriers are flocking to

The “percentage deductible” trap that could bankrupt your deal if you aren’t careful

And So Much More!

818: From 16-Year-Old Skater to Investing in “Cash Machine” Kmart Conversions w/Mikey Taylor Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

Cash flow “machines” is how Mikey Taylor describes his most recent investments. To the non-investors, the numbers seem too good to be true. But Mikey has repeated this system, again and again, to make millions of dollars off of “boring” investments that most investors overlook. What “cash machines” is Mikey referring to, and how do you go from making $800/month to millions of dollars like he did?

Mikey has no degree, full-time job, or wealthy parents to hand him an inheritance. At sixteen, Mikey made it his mission to find sponsors for his skateboarding career. What started as a hobby grew into a profession, but Mikey knew it wouldn’t last. After searching for some other income to support him when his career finally ended, Mikey conveniently stumbled upon real estate—and the rest is history.

Since ending his skateboarding career, Mikey has built a brewery, invested in multiple BIG multifamily deals, and started buying the “cash machine” properties so many investors WISH they could get their hands on. If you want to know the strategy behind these bold moves and how you can go from barely scraping by to financial mastery, like Mikey, this is THE episode to watch.

In This Episode We Cover:

The “cash machine” real estate investments only few investors will buy

What REAL passive income looks like and how to start building your income streams today

Starting a brewery from scratch and selling it for an almost unbelievable profit

The “blue ocean” real estate deals many are too scared to touch

Converting Kmarts into self-storage and how much money Mikey makes off of each

How to avoid lifestyle inflation when you start making big bucks (so you can invest the rest!)

And So Much More!

817: 2 “Slam Dunk” Small Multifamily Deals in 2023 (and Where to Find Them) w/Dan Nelson and Jodi Gauthier Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

Small multifamily properties are one of the EASIEST ways to get into real estate investing. But, your market may be a little too pricey or lack the supply for you to invest in these “slam dunk” deals. So, where do you go? We’ve got two elite agents from the South and Midwest that can help YOU get your next killer deal in metro areas that are seeing STRONG demand, renter growth, and rising rents.

To tell us about Chicago, the “we don’t actually love deep dish” city, is Dan Nelson. Dan was recently able to access a “private listing” that was severely underpriced. He brought this deal to a rookie client of his, who ended up making a MASSIVE amount of equity on closing. We’ll also chat with Jodi Gauthier, a Houston-based agent who secured a very lucrative seller-financed deal for her client, who couldn’t get a mortgage anywhere else.

You might think these deals are too good to be true, ESPECIALLY in 2023’s housing market. But, we’re here to prove that as long as you’re in the right market, running the right numbers, with the right agent, you too can lock down these “slam dunk” small multifamily deals.

In This Episode We Cover:

Two housing markets with “slam dunk” small multifamily opportunities

Metrics to watch BEFORE you invest in a market and how to know your home will appreciate

What to do when you CAN’T find cash flow in your area (and whether or not cash flow is worth it)

Seller financing and how to buy properties when you can’t get approved for a loan

Questions to ask your agent to see whether or not they TRULY know what they’re doing

And So Much More!

816: Seeing Greene: How to Invest with $20K and “Luxury” House Hacking Sep 10, 2023

Show notes

Don’t know how to invest in real estate? If you’ve got $20K (or less) sitting around, there’s a good chance that you could start TODAY. With home prices still sky-high and most Americans under the impression that buying is out of the picture, David Greene comes in to save the day with the “sneaky rental tactic” that can help you start building a real estate portfolio for less than it costs to buy a car!

Welcome back to the long-awaited return of Seeing Greene. We’ve taken some of the BEST questions from BiggerPockets listeners just like you and rapid-fired them at David to get his take. In this show, a military couple is looking to start investing but doesn’t know where to begin. A wholesaler wants to buy rentals with a partner but doesn’t know how they should form an LLC. A high-earner debates whether a “luxury house hack” is worth the extra money. Finally, an active-duty family debates selling their homes, and a deputy sheriff wants to know where best to put her leftover cash from a home sale.

In This Episode We Cover:

How to invest in real estate with $20K using the “sneaky rental tactic”

“Luxury house hacking” and why buying better properties may be worth the lower cash flow

Rental property LLCs and whether or not to form one for your future partnerships

When to sell your properties and whether or not a housing crash could be on the horizon

The “base hit” rental properties that will make you RICH when you retire

815: $10K/Month at 25 Years Old by Buying $100K Properties w/Soli Cayetano Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

Soli Cayetano makes over $10K per month in passive income at age twenty-five by buying the rental properties that most investors actively avoid. These properties are often in overlooked markets that aren’t as attractive as San Diego, Miami, Austin, or Seattle, but they make her as much, if not more, money. The houses Soli buys are often $100K or less, meaning almost any investor reading this could come close to buying one.

In three years, Soli turned $50K into a $5M real estate portfolio, enough passive income to support her for life, and an online following constantly finding and funding deals for her. She started building her real estate portfolio right after college when lockdowns took away her chance to make any active income. After reading David Greene’s Long-Distance Real Estate Investing and listening to the Real Estate Rookie podcast, Soli scraped together every dollar she had and bought a Midwest rental that needed serious rehab.

Now, a few years later, she and her partners own dozens of rentals across multiple markets. As a result, Soli was able to quit her job, focus entirely on real estate, and achieve ultimate time freedom. But will her cash-flow-first model work out in the long run? David goes head to head with Soli in this episode to debate whether or not these “cheap” markets are a mistake to invest in.

In This Episode We Cover:

Out-of-state investing and where to buy rental properties for just $100K

Expensive properties vs. cheap properties and which will really make you richer

Keeping yourself accountable and why you need to tell people your goals to make them happen

Raising private money and how Soli got over 800 private investors through Instagram alone

Real estate partnerships and how to grow your portfolio FAR faster by not going solo

The battle of the BRRRRs and a David vs. Soli debate over which markets make the most money

814: BiggerNews: Home Prices to Stall as “Deflation” Concerns Pop Up Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Home prices are about to slowly slump, real estate agents get their listings held for ransom, “deflation” concerns begin to grow, and multibillion-dollar lawsuits could change real estate investing forever. In other news, it’s just another day in the 2023 housing market. Some say the sky is falling, others are optimistic, but what do the equally named yet unequally-haired Daves think will happen? Tune into this BiggerNews to find out!

David Greene and Dave Meyer are reviewing some top headlines on today’s real estate market. Whether you love them or not, real estate agents are at the center of this episode as new lawsuits and cybersecurity attacks put their careers at risk. And this is no exaggeration—one of these stories could foreshadow “the beginning of the end” for real estate as we know it, and David has some strong opinions to share.

We’ll also touch on how “deflation” could push prices down as the US economy enters shaky territory and what would have to happen for us to realize this notorious economic event. And if you’re ready to buy or sell a home this year, we have good/bad news for you (depending on what you’re doing) as Goldman Sachs releases their newest home price predictions for 2023 and 2024.

In This Episode We Cover:

The multibillion-dollar lawsuits that could create HUGE hurdles for first-time home buyers

Deflation concerns and whether or not inflation could reverse entirely

Home price predictions and why the housing market could fall flat

MLS (multiple listing service) cyberattacks that are holding real estate agents hostage

Why institutional investors want to END buyer’s agents and take over home buying

And So Much More!
