    Ep. 248 - (Re-Air) Why Most Investors Stall after 1 Rental

    Many real estate investors dream of a large portfolio, yet most stop after their very first rental property. Why is it so hard to scale? In this episode, Chad Harris breaks down the two primary reasons investors stall: poor deal structuring and a lack of management systems. Learn why using your own money can be a recipe for frustration and how successful investors leverage Other People’s Money (OPM) to grow. Chad also explains how to shift from an "owner" to a "property manager" mindset by implementing systems that set both you and your tenants up for success. Key Takeaways: o The danger of using your own cash for down payments and closing costs. o How to structure deals so you can scale to 5, 10, or 50 properties. o The importance of pre-planned management systems for leasing, screening, and maintenance. o How to eliminate 3:00 AM tenant calls through better communication.

    Ep.247 – (Re-Air) Why Most People Believe Rentals Create Wealth, but Never Buy One

    Everyone knows that rental properties are a proven path to long-term wealth, so why do so few people actually own them? In this episode, Chad Harris breaks down the three psychological and strategic roadblocks that keep investors on the sidelines. We discuss how to structure deals using none of your own money (the 70% rule), why "timing the market" is a myth when you have a 30% equity buffer, and the importance of surrounding yourself with experienced investors rather than the naysayers. Plus, Chad shares an exciting update about the podcast’s new name: One Rental to Freedom. Visit our website at www.TrueWealthInvestors.com for more real estate wisdom and resources.

    Ep. 244 - He Bought 23 Rentals in One Year With None of His Own Money (Private Lending with Jon Hayes)

    One of Jon Hayes' clients bought 23 rental properties in his first year. Not flips — buy and hold, fully rehabbed, built to last. And he didn't use a dime of his own money to do it. Jon is a fourth-generation real estate guy and a private lender who structures deals in two pieces: short-term money to buy and rehab, then long-term financing once the property's fixed up and rented — so you can refinance out and keep your cash in your pocket. On a $200K rental at 70% loan-to-value, that's $60,000 in equity created in one deal. Do that 20 times and you're looking at $1.2 million in equity in a single year. We get into how his family's been doing this since 1988, why he steers people away from flipping and toward buy-and-hold, the renovation mistakes that'll bite you later (yes, the plumbing), and why building relationships beats knowing everything. If you've ever thought you needed a pile of cash to scale a rental portfolio, this episode will change your mind. Want to connect with Jon Hayes? Jon said to text him anytime — he's genuinely responsive to real investors. Reach him at 502-658-7418 or jon@flippinloan.com, or check out his site and apply directly at FlippinLoan.com.

    Ep. 243 - $345K in Equity, Zero Money Out of Pocket: The Full Deal Breakdown

    We just closed on two houses and created $345,000 in equity — and we didn't use a single dollar of our own money to do it. Not one! In this episode, I walk you through the entire deal from start to finish: how the lead came to us (thanks to a contractor we're calling "Sad Sam" who couldn't come up with the funds), what the seller's real pain points were, and why money wasn't even his top priority. I break down exactly how we structured the offer — full asking price, $20,000 down, and the remaining $205,000 due in 12 months with zero interest — and why the seller said yes. Are you frustrated because you can't save enough to start buying rentals? Or you think the numbers just don't work in this market? They can. This deal proves it. I'll show you the ARV, the rehab budget, how we placed our private lender's money, and the creative financing structure that made this whole thing possible. Plus, I'm sharing my free resource with 37 places to find your next private lender — because raising money isn't about knowing the "right people," it's about knowing where to look. Enjoy!

    Ep. 242 - Fatal Financing Mistake #5 & #6: Get Paid Twice, Then Recycle It

    Waiting to get paid is costing you your portfolio. If you think cash flow only means that $300-$500 rent check every month, you're leaving money on the table before you even close! I break down fatal financing mistakes #5 and #6 — getting paid on the front end of every deal, and recycling your money so you can buy 10, 20, even 50 rentals off the same lender. I walk through a real deal we just closed: $89K purchase, $150K ARV, and how that structure put $10K in my pocket at closing. Plus the "you can't eat equity" myth that drives me crazy, and how private and seller financing actually work when you know how to recycle the cash. Stop waiting on rent checks to feel the win. Get paid when you buy! Visit our website at www.TrueWealthInvestors.com for more real estate wisdom and resources.

    Ep. 241 - How Eric Made $35K More By Ditching His Funding Partner

    Are you missing out on deals because you think high interest rates killed your cash flow? I hope not! In this episode, I break down fatal financing mistakes #3 and #4 — missing deals based on interest rates, and desperately needing lenders — plus the fix for both. I'll show you the exact numbers on a $105,000 loan that prove private money crushes traditional financing (we're talking a $478/month difference), and I'll share how Eric, a flipper in Dayton, made an extra $35,000 on a single deal just by raising private money instead of taking on a funding partner. If you've been letting interest rates talk you out of deals, this one's for you. Visit our website at www.TrueWealthInvestors.com for more real estate wisdom and resources.
