805: 2 “Cash Flow” Housing Markets That Are On Track for Big Growth w/Brandon Ribeiro and Peter Stewart Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

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!

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 Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

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!

And So Much More!

802: Codie Sanchez: Passive Income is a Scam, Do This Instead Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

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

801: The Secret to Building a Rental Portfolio With Limited Time, Money, or Experience Aug 06, 2023

Show notes

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 Aug 01, 2023

Show notes

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

797: 7 Rentals in 3 Years by Breaking All the Real Estate Rules w/Jenni Vega Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

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. Whether she’s adding game rooms, "redneck mini golf" courses, or cowboy pools, Jenni has turned lackluster properties into top-performing short-term rentals. If you follow her advice, you can do it too!

In This Episode We Cover:

The “golden triangle” method that ensures your rental will always be full

Breaking the “real estate rules” and why boring locations bring in BIG cash flow

Quitting your nine-to-five and why keeping your active income stream may be a better idea

Unique amenities that will make your vacation rental stand out in a saturated market

The short-term rental listing tip that could give you a boost in bookings

How to invest in short-term rentals in 2023 (and what to avoid before you start)

And So Much More!
