    Quitting His Job with Real Estate After Cracking the Cash Flow Code

    Want to quit your job with real estate investing? Rookie investor Miller McSwain has a strategy anyone can copy to make serious cash flow. This investing strategy is rookie-friendly and allows you to learn the real estate investing ropes while making serious money. Miller now has six properties with forty-one units in total, and today, he’s sharing this easily repeatable strategy for quickly building wealth. Miller will be the first to tell you that his “coliving” strategy is not rocket science. He should know—he’s a former rocket scientist. After house hacking and renting out the rooms in his home, he realized how much cash flow the rent-by-the-room strategy makes. But instead of buying houses with as many rooms as possible, he began focusing on community living and homes with inviting common spaces, allowing for higher rents. So, how do you start with this strategy? Miller explains, in detail, precisely what makes a great coliving investment property, how to market your rooms to get the most tenants possible, and what to do when conflict arises between roommates. After six properties, he’s still hunting for more, and if you’re looking for higher cash flow rentals, this is a strategy you should definitely try. In This Episode We Cover: How to quit your job and become a full-time real estate investor with “coliving” Coliving explained and why it is NOT the same as renting by the room Miller’s exact “buy box” and what makes a property perfect for coliving Marketing your rooms online and how to quickly screen tenants without taking a hundred phone calls Handling tenant conflict and what to do when roommates aren’t getting along The easiest (and arguably cheapest) way to invest in your first coliving property And So Much More!

    Snowballing to 7 Properties in 6 Years with This Rinse-and-Repeat Formula

    This rookie has grown his real estate portfolio to seven properties, $5,000 in monthly cash flow, and over $1 million in total equity in just SIX years. His strategy isn’t flashy or sexy, but it’s highly repeatable. Even the greenest investor can use it to snowball one rental property into the next! Jefferson Calloway was plunged into the world of real estate after meeting the world’s best tenant—an investor and mentor who not only sold Jefferson his first property but also moved in and knowingly rented it from him for a profit! Through this experience, Jefferson quickly learned the incredible scalability of buying properties owner-occupied, converting them into rentals, and repeating the formula. Now, through the power of delegation and automation, he earns active income from near-passive investments that require just one hour of his time each week. This allows him to focus on his home remodeling business, where he earns even more income to pour into real estate! As you’re about to learn, you can find great investment properties in virtually any market, but you’re going to need the right people in place when investing out of state. In today’s episode, Jefferson provides the blueprint for finding more on-market and off-market real estate deals in competitive markets, building out teams, and mitigating risk within your portfolio! In This Episode We Cover: The formula Jefferson used to scale to seven properties in just six years Cash flow versus appreciation (and why you DON’T have to choose one!) The best ways to find better on-market and off-market real estate deals Why you should always analyze your short-term rentals as long-term rentals The investing strategy that can help you mitigate risk within your portfolio The key to turning your rental properties into near-passive investments And So Much More!

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

    HACE 6 DÍAS

    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!

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.

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!

  8. 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!
