Episode 45 Dwan's Truth and Selling Rentals. Aug 27, 2019

The subject of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is when to sell your rentals. But first, Dwan opens up about the day she got a collect call from jail. It was her husband, who had been caught selling a crazy amount of drugs (with his band mates). He would remain in jail for 5 years, leaving Dwan and Ayla to fend for themselves, which ultimately led Dwan down the path she is on now of real estate investing. This was the lowest and most frightening time of Dwan’s life. She divorced him while he was in prison because he was just not the person she had known, and she spent the better part of 10 years resisting any new relationships that would require trust. She met Bill and they dated long distance for 15 months before she built up enough trust to marry him.

When it comes to knowing when to sell one or more of your rental properties, Dwan advises that you sit down for every 10 rentals you acquire and assess where you are. Which properties are in good and bad locations? How are your returns? How many Subject To properties do you have? Would it be beneficial for you to sell one property in order to pay off several of your others? You should only consider this if by selling one you could pay off at least two rental properties.

Episode 44 Pay Off Your Rentals Aug 20, 2019

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan talks about how to pay off your rentals. Contrary to what a lot of other real estate investors do and tell others to do, you should pay off your rentals before paying off your own assets. When you close your first deal, go ahead and quit your full-time job and use the profits from that deal to pay yourself a weekly salary to be a full-time real estate investor. Then when you close your next deal, you can give yourself a raise and/or save up until you can pay cash for another rental property. Once you have 3 rentals paid for and you’re on the way to the Power of 13, then you can start paying off your own assets.

Dwan and Bill just welcomed a new grandbaby and kept little Benjamin’s older sisters for 9 days at their house, so they are still recovering. This August also marks 30 years since Dwan’s life was turned upside-down and she began her life as a single mother trying to find her way. Dwan also shares on this episode about her recent health issues and the continuing journey to find out what is going on. She would appreciate your prayers, and of course she will keep her loyal listeners posted as she starts to get some answers.

Episode 43 The Power of 13 Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

You have probably heard Dwan mention the Power of 13 before, but maybe this is the first time you have ever heard her explain it. Dwan has found this fail-proof method of creating passive income for yourself that can help you quit your desk job and start working on fulfilling your own dreams!

Many real estate investors make the mistake of borrowing against their rentals for other investments or paying off their own houses and assets before paying off their rental properties, but Dwan challenges you to flip the script. Flip a few houses and pay off a rental property, flip a few houses and pay off another, and so on until you own 13 rental properties free and clear. Every month, set aside the income from 3 of those properties into an account for expenditures (taxes, insurance, and repairs) and then live off the income of the other 10. With this passive income coming in, you won’t have to work anymore and you will be able to pay off your own assets and get started on acquiring your next set of 13 properties until you have the amount of passive income coming in every month to give you the lifestyle you want.

Episode 42 Section 8 Rentals Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, the topic is Section 8 rentals. Many people don’t even consider having Section 8 tenants because they don’t want to be involved with “those people.” What they don’t realize is that people who use the program as it is intended are legitimately down on their luck and trying to support their children the best way they know how while they try to improve their situation. Dwan has a heart for these families because she really wants to help them get back on their feet with the support they need.

From a landlord perspective, Section 8 is the most consistent income you can ask for. The government is never late on payments, and because there is such demand for Section 8 housing, it is unlikely that you will have a vacant property for more than a few weeks. Considering all of the money that the government takes from you every year in taxes, it is also nice for them to essentially pay off your rentals for you with very little effort on your part. You will, of course, interview the potential tenants and do the unannounced visit to their current living situation, and you’ll set clear expectations when each family moves in. Dwan has never had an issue with her Section 8 tenants because of these practices.

Episode 41 What Do You Want to Own Jul 30, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The topic of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is asking yourself the question “What do you want to own?” It would be tempting to just jump into real estate investing based on the experience or recommendation of someone else that you should flip or rehab houses, but you need to sit down and write out what your actual goals are. Think about where you want your properties to be, who you want to work with, and what types of properties you want to have. Dwan and Bill have found that they love commercial and section 8 properties right now, and they will probably keep focusing on those projects for now. But what about you?

Episode 40 Long-Term Rentals Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan discusses long term rentals. She specifically outlines the benefits of having tenants stay in your properties for more than 18 months, especially if they are good tenants and they are taking care of the house. She talks through exactly how to have this conversation with your tenants and offer them a discount on their monthly rent or to upgrade something in the house in exchange for a longer lease timeframe. While $25 per month might not be a big deal for you to discount, it can add up to be a big deal for the homeowners and it can save them from having to pack up and move every year.

Additionally, Dwan stresses the importance of you and your tenants being properly insured. While it might seem wasteful to “throw away” cash every month on every property, if something ever happens to one of your buildings, you will be so glad that you had been investing in making sure everything would turn out ok. You should run your business like you are always trying to avoid a lawsuit, and you probably will.

Episode 39 Photograph Your Tenants Jul 16, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Dwan discusses her practice of taking photos of her tenants in each room of the house at the beginning of their lease on this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever. By taking these photos, you are protecting yourself and holding your tenants accountable for any damage they create at the property while they are living there. This is the proof you need if they insist that hole in the wall was there when they moved in, much like car rental companies do an initial assessment of the state of the car with the client before and after they rent it.

While things like this seem to be intimidating for new landlords, these kinds of measures protect you and allow you to create the wealth you need in order to pay off your rental properties as soon as possible and become a successful retired landlord.

Episode 38 The Giant Deposit Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

The subject of this episode of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever is “the giant deposit.” Dwan talks about her recent experience with her son going through this process of purchasing his first rental property and vetting the tenants with an unannounced pop-in visit as well as the conversation he had with them about the deposit. Dwan knows from experience that almost every time you require a security deposit of the same amount as a month’s rent, the tenants will ask you to use their security deposit as their last month’s rent, so by making the deposit $300-$400 higher than a month’s rent, you are almost guaranteeing that they will pay their last month’s rent in order to receive their deposit back.

Episode 37 Rental Road To Riches Jul 02, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

To kick off the new season of The Most Dwanderful Real Estate Podcast Ever, Dwan overviews the topics to be covered on rentals and brings in some illustrations from her own experience. The type of rentals Dwan is talking about this season are ones where the investor is trying to build up a rental portfolio rather than specifically helping homeowners in distress, but it is very likely that there will be some crossover.

From the paperwork to selecting the right tenants to working towards owning all of your rentals outright, Dwan will be walking you through the steps you should take to become a successful real estate investor with rentals. Many people encourage investors to leverage their rentals against each other rather than owning them all for cash, but those are the investors who lost everything during the Recession, while Dwan and her students were on firm footing.

Dwan shares her #1 tip for rentals: no matter what, always make an unannounced visit at 8:00pm to the house where your potential tenants are living now. It will be awkward and they will be embarrassed to show you their house, but if you only judge them by their meeting with you, you will never really know how well they are going to take care of your house.

Episode 36 Owner Partnering Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Dwan describes the process of owner partnering (also known as equity partnering) and the importance of getting your paperwork in order before venturing out with a homeowner in distress. Many things can go wrong, but many things can also go right, and the ideal outcome is for you to make a hearty profit, the homeowner to walk away with a good payout, and everyone to be happy at the end. Sometimes it is the homeowners that have a lot of equity in their house who come to you in the most desperation because they finally surrender to the fact that the bank will take their house otherwise.

The most straightforward method for walking the homeowner through the process of equity partnering is with a written agreement, the terms of which are discussed using the pen and paper approach. Seeing the numbers all together really opens the homeowners’ eyes to the trouble they have gotten themselves into and the lifeline you are trying to throw them by partnering with them.
