Flipping America 554, What Makes a Deal? Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

It's been a crazy few years in this business. I get hundreds of leads from dozens of wholesalers every day. Maybe 1 out of 20 is a deal worth giving a second look. And maybe 1 out of 100 is something I would do. But they apparently sell these properties because they keep coming around with more of the same. Today, I'm going to talk about what makes a deal a deal. And it's more than just the numbers. When sellers (or my TV) says "Let's Make a Deal" I say "What Makes a Deal?" We will find out today on this episode of Flipping America. You've heard the phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute." PT Barnum of Barnum and Bailey circus fame supposedly said that, although there is no evidence he ever did. I want to add to that: A lot of those suckers bought $50,000 real estate training from a hotel room and now are justifying that expense by paying too much for investment properties.

Flipping America 553, No Crash Coming Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Ignore the click-bait wannabes. They have routinely declared the housing crash is imminent every year since 2017. Perhaps eventually they will be correct. But not this year. Interest rates are worth watching and I predicted the current uptick in the rate of foreclosures (Covid-related). This will go back to pre-Covid levels in early 2023. Other indicators show a continuing strong demand for not-yet-enough supply.

Flipping America 552, Rental Q and A Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

Ok kids, it's time to open the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Today we are focusing on questions concerning rental properties.

Flipping America 551, Rent or Own? Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Mortgage rates are up, therefore home payments are up. Does it make sense to buy or should you rent? The answer is never as clear cut as you might think. Today I will sort through the issues and help you understand the best answer for you and your situation. One of the questions we get quite often is a variation of "should I rent or should I buy?" The person asking will usually fill us in on some of the details of their situation which means our recommendations are not always the same. I spent more than half of my life so far thinking that it is never better to rent - always better to buy and build that equity. About 15 years ago I realized I had never challenged that assumption, but it took me a couple of years to get around to devising a way to evaluate the options. Even then, I did it only for my own situation, but I will tell you this: once I took a clear minded look at what it was actually costing me to live in my very nice house, I sold it in pretty short order. I've been a renter ever since. I know it may surprise you to hear that the Flipping America guy is a renter. This is the sensible choice for me right now, both in terms of the financial realities I'm about to share with you AND a few of the intangible factors I will discuss today as well. The important conclusion for you today is not a one-size-fits-all correct answer. My aim is to help you make an informed decision - one that could change as your life goes on.

Flipping America 550, Long Distance Flipping Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

Since 2015 it's been increasingly difficult to find good deals on flips in our own backyard. So since the cheese got moved we moved along with it. We've done flips in every state that touches Georgia and we've wholesaled properties in a total of 28 states so far. Today I have a very special guest. Helen Ishii is one of my mentoring students who is now managing her first out-of-state flip. We are going to talk about the process, lessons learned, and some pitfalls.

Flipping America 549, And Now For Something Completely Different Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

It's one of my most favorite times of the year - the beginning of the college football season. I can barely tolerate the political posturing and virtue signaling of all professional sports these days, and I find watching baseball or golf is just an inducement to take a nap. So as the years go by I'm increasingly stoked about the start of the college football season. How does this tie in to real estate? Stay tuned for a minute and you'll see. I'm going to be joined today by one of my partners, Ari Weinberg, who is the developmental motor behind the soon-to-be-released all new Flipping America Network AKA "The FAN." Full confession: we tried to release the FAN a year and a half ago and realized we had a LOT of work to do to make the app function and easy to use. So we pulled it and have been steadily working to make this thing great. Spoiler alert - we are going to talk about real estate and the FAN for 2-3 minutes today and the rest of the show is a preview of the upcoming college football season. So the answer to the question in the opening about tying this in to real estate? Ummm. well… not really. We are just going to have a little fun.

Flipping America 548, Know Your "Why Nots" Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

A lot of talk, several books, and valuable minutes of nearly every self-help seminar conducted in the past 10 years have been devoted to the topic of "Knowing Your Why." It's a trend for a good reason. It's important to know your Why and it's important to get beyond trivial things like "money" and "the stuff you buy with money." I value and salute the idea of "knowing your Why." But today I'm going to balance that with not a competing, but complementary idea. "Know Your Why Not."

Flipping America 547, How To Quit Your Day Job Aug 26, 2022

Show notes

The first thing we tell you is "don't quit your day job." But you just won't listen to me so the next thing I'll tell you is "how to quit your day job." Passion is overrated. Job stability is underrated. Financial security is a big plus in life. Your real estate career will take off and blossom if you can stay in your job while you get started. You'll enjoy financial security and the luxury of easing into offer-making. This is clearly the best way to do it. So who cares if you stay at a meaningless or boring job for another year or two? I assure you you will prefer the boredom over the anxiety of not being able to pay all your bills. Today I'll give you a glide path that takes into consideration everything you'll need to think about as you make this big life transition.

Flipping America 546, The BIG Q&A Show Aug 24, 2022

Show notes

You've got questions? We've got the internet, er, we've got experts, um, we've got the Realty Bluebook. Seriously, today on Flipping America, we've got a pile of answers coming your way. Hopefully some of them will connect with your questions. Here's your reminder that if you have questions about real estate or real estate investing, you can send them to questions@flippingamerica.net. Or you can call 877-55-ROGER (877-557-6437) ext 1 and leave your question. We answer every question that comes in, usually within 24 hours, and some of them make it to the show. There is an exception to the promise of answering every question. We are not going to do your homework for you. We can't run comps on your potential property and we can't really tell you if a particular deal is one you should do. We couldn't possibly know enough about any particular situation. But if your question is more broadly useful to others, it's ideal for our use. So keep on sending them!

Flipping America 545, Get UP! Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down. As long as you get back up. Everyone listening to my voice has been down. Some of you are right now. Today I'm going to help you get back up. Adversity is baked into the human experience. Bad things happen to us beyond our control. Bad things happen because of our choices (those can often be worse on our psyches). Sometimes, we feel bad. Sometimes anxious We get rejected. Our plans fall apart. Our kids make mistakes. We lose things. We lose people. And we go down. Today I am going to Talk it up, so I want you to Listen up because I'm going to ask you to Toughen up while you Lighten up at the same time. Then we are going to Light it up, then Follow up and last, but probably most important I'm going to ask you to Look up. If you do these things, you'll get back up. I can't promise it will be easy. I've been down and I know how hard it is to come back. If you are feeling depressed from self-blame, angry from blaming others, or both at the same time, I get you. I feel you. If you listen up, I think I can help you. It's not pious platitudes from pop psychology class. It's the shared experience of a friend who is probably only one or 2 steps ahead of you right now. I'm reaching out for you right now. Take my hand, lend me your ear for another 27 minutes, and let's Get UP.
