  1. How Much SHOULD You Put Down on an Investment Property? (Rookie Reply)

    How Much SHOULD You Put Down on an Investment Property? (Rookie Reply)

    How much should your down payment for investment property be? Should you increase your down payment to maximize cash flow, or does putting all your financial eggs in one basket limit your ability to build and scale your real estate portfolio? Or should you instead pay off that high-interest-rate mortgage early to keep all the cash flow at the end of the month? We’re answering these questions in today’s Rookie Reply! With high mortgage rates, one rookie asks whether it’s better to pay off their home with a seven percent rate INSTEAD of investing in more rentals. Paying off that loan gets you an automatic return, but there’s a strong argument as to why it isn’t the best move. Are you doing your first house flip? Another rookie wonders whether they can negotiate when taking on a hard money loan and if the juice is worth the squeeze for a $50,000 profit on their first flip.  Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question on the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover Investment property down payments and how much you should put down to prioritize cash flow Whether to keep investing or start paying off your high-interest-rate mortgages Why you can’t just look at the cash flow when analyzing a potential investment   Financing a house flip and negotiating with a hard money lender (should you negotiate?) What you should ALWAYS do before you take on a house flip to ensure your numbers are right  And So Much More!

    Can you still find great deals in today’s cutthroat housing market? Of course! But you may need to go off the beaten path.

If he can do it, YOU can, too! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Karl has a superpower—finding hidden gems that other investors overlook. And he’s not doing anything that you can’t. Even as a full-time firefighter, he still finds time to attend meetups, go to foreclosure auctions, build his own lists, and contact homeowners about their properties.

Tune in as Karl walks you through each step of the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat). Along the way, you’ll learn where to find undervalued properties, how to manage out-of-state renovations, and when to do a cash-out refinance.

    Should I SELL or RENT My House? + How to Finance Home Renovations (Rookie Reply)

    You’re planning to move soon and are asking yourself, “Should I sell or rent my house?” What if you’ve got little-to-no cash flow potential? Is future appreciation worth betting on? Maybe you need to renovate before you sell or rent; now, the question becomes, “How to finance home renovations?” Don’t stress; we’ve got you covered on all fronts in this episode as we walk through how to decide whether to sell or rent, the best ways to fund home renovations, and answer the mother of all rookie questions, “Is house hacking dead?” With mortgage rates rising yet again and home prices still unaffordable in many areas of the country, does house hacking (renting out other rooms/units to pay your mortgage) still make sense? What if you can’t live for free anymore? Should you abandon the house hacking strategy entirely? We have some interesting thoughts on why we would or wouldn’t house hack in this housing market. Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question on the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover: Whether you should sell or rent your primary residence once you move out  The math behind house hacking and whether high interest rates ruined this strategy  How to finance home renovations on your next rehab project  Taking out a line of credit on your investment properties to fund future investments  Whether to convert your property into a short-term rental (more work) or keep it as a long-term rental (less work)  And So Much More!

  6. Investing in Real Estate WITHOUT a W2? How I Bought 3 Properties in 2 Years!

    4 NOV.

    Investing in Real Estate WITHOUT a W2? How I Bought 3 Properties in 2 Years!

    Can you start investing in real estate WITHOUT a stable W2 job? How will you get a loan? What happens if you have a fluctuating income? Are you completely out of luck? Not at all! Today’s guest, David Sladewski, proves that you can STILL invest in real estate no matter your age, experience, or whether you have a “stable” job. At just twenty years old, he already has three rental units and a live in flip; plus, he did it all while self-employed. At the age of seventeen, David learned about real estate from his brother. Poised to become his own boss and make money without an earning “ceiling,” he decided that getting his real estate license and becoming an agent was the best bet. Within half a year, he went from having no money to building a solid real estate agent business and was ready to invest. The problem? Lenders WON’T give you a loan without multiple years of income history.  But that didn’t stop David. He was able to buy a great first rental property, a duplex, thanks to one brilliant move. David then found other lender “loopholes” that helped him close on his dream rental property and a flip he’s working on as we speak. How did he get around the seemingly impossible task of finding funding WITHOUT a W2 job? Stick around to find out! In This Episode We Cover: Why you DON’T need a W2 job to start investing in real estate  Doing your first real estate deal with ZERO experience and why you MUST “bet on yourself” Real estate partnerships for beginners and how to invest without having a ton of money  The lender “loophole” David found after going through FOUR different mortgage lenders (try this, too!) Why you should live in your rental property BEFORE you rent it out  Doing a “live in flip” and home renovation mistakes that David learned the hard way  And So Much More!

Next, how do you estimate rehab costs for a home renovation? Rene brings her ACTUAL house flipping budget to show off in today’s episode, plus where she’s finding materials and how much of a financial “buffer” she’s giving herself (in case something goes wrong).
