    How Much Real Estate Did We Buy in 2024? (Deals, Mistakes, and More)

    Today, we’re talking about the real estate deals we did in 2024. What went right, what went wrong, and what mistakes did we make that you must avoid in 2025? This year was wild for the real estate market—you probably felt it, too. Whether you were buying rentals, flipping houses, or just getting started, this year felt hot, cold, and lukewarm all at the same time. So, how did we end the year? Did we hit our 2024 goals, or was this wild housing market just too much for us? We’re sharing exactly what our 2024 goals were, whether we hit them, and what we’re planning for in 2025. We decided to give up one real estate investing strategy that wasn’t worth it anymore; we made some BIG mistakes by choosing the wrong agent, hiring the wrong people, and forgetting to systematize some properties. But we also made some solid moves that saved us when some of our deals began to fall apart. Don’t repeat the same mistakes we made—learn from them instead! Tune in, write these lessons down, and build a better real estate portfolio in 2025! In This Episode We Cover: Our 2024 real estate deals in review and the one strategy we’ve decided to ditch  How choosing the wrong real estate agent can completely throw off your closing  Mistakes we made by hiring the wrong people to take care of our properties (we did this three times THIS year alone) Why the right contractor is worth the extra cost (and can save your flip) Tony’s newest house flip and how he’s trying to make up for a BIG loss  Our 2025 goals and why we’re deciding to scale SLOWER this coming year  And So Much More!

    How I’m Flipping 12 Houses (at Once!) All While Traveling

    At the age of twenty-seven, this “rookie” has already completed over 100 real estate deals. The key to her success? She’s been in real estate since she was just seventeen years old. Seriously! By starting early and taking action, she has been able to make mistakes, sharpen her skills, and set herself up for success!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! While her peers headed off to college, Dominique Gunderson got her real estate license and started learning the ropes. Before long, she was wholesaling—using direct mail, flyers, cold calling, and other strategies to complete more than forty deals in just eighteen months. But that’s not all. She then used these profits to buy her first rental property in cash when she wasn’t yet lendable. Once she was priced out of her hometown of Los Angeles, she turned to New Orleans, where she started flipping houses remotely!   Today, Dominique manages several projects simultaneously, and in this episode, she will walk you through her process for doing a long-distance flip—from building an out-of-state team to estimating rehab costs and managing contractors from afar. You’ll even learn about her exit strategy for the properties that don’t sell: the BRRRR method! In This Episode We Cover How to find off-market real estate deals and flip them for a profit in 2025 The key adjustments house flippers need to make in today’s housing market How to build your team for long-distance real estate investing The number one red flag to watch out for when hiring a general contractor Crucial tips for managing an out-of-state renovation project Estimating rehab costs and building a scope of work from hundreds of miles away How to fund your fix and flips (without the banks) through private money lending And So Much More!

  3. Calculating NOI for Real Estate and How to Start Investing with $70K (Rookie Reply)

    Calculating NOI for Real Estate and How to Start Investing with $70K (Rookie Reply)

    Want to estimate your NOI (net operating income) BEFORE you buy a rental property? Calculating NOI in real estate isn’t hard, and after doing this dozens and dozens of times, we’re sharing how to estimate things like taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs so you know you’re buying a killer deal. Speaking of first deals, how much do you need to get started investing? $20K? $50K? $100K? A fellow rookie has $70K ready to invest but doesn’t know the next best move. We’re sharing exactly how they should start, and you can copy these steps no matter how much money you have. It wouldn’t be a Rookie Reply if we didn’t discuss tricky tenant situations. One investor has a tenant who is FED UP with a broken outlet. Sounds pretty reasonable, right? Well, the tenant is giving the landlord an unreasonable ultimatum. What should the investor do? Let the tenant take care of things on their own (and potentially damage the property) or put their foot down and follow the lease agreement? Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question on the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover: How to estimate your taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs before you buy a rental property  The expenses that short-term rental investors always forget when running numbers How to respond to a tenant when they’re sending you unreasonable maintenance requests  The first step you should take when deciding to invest in real estate  How to get your first rental with just $70K (or less) and mistakes beginners make  And So Much More!

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

    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!

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

    15 NOV

    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!
