    How to Maximize SF Cash Flow via Student Housing w/ Ryan Chaw

    If you're thinking about venturing into student housing in real estate, today's guest has the expertise you need! Join JD and Melissa as they chat with Ryan Chaw, who introduces his innovative room hacking system - a perfect strategy for anyone looking to break into the student housing market. Ryan's real estate journey is one that many can easily relate to, making his insights both practical and inspiring for aspiring investors! Stay tuned!   Here's what to expect on the podcast: Ryan's transition from being a pharmacist to a full-time real estate investor. Factors to consider when starting a student housing business. Implement systems for property management, including virtual assistants and software tools. Ryan's business growth plan and his coaching program. And much more! About Ryan: My grandpa encountered a lot of racism/prejudice when trying to buy his first property in America but worked hard and persisted to eventually buy 3 properties in the SF Bay Area, and this inspired me to get into real estate investing as well.   I graduated as a Pharmacist in 2016 and worked at a hospital in Infectious Diseases and Pediatrics, providing great service, which later translated into me becoming a good landlord.   I purchased one single-family home a year and slowly built up a reputation at my local college for having high-quality student housing rental spaces. Because I rented by the room, there was double the rental income and a lot more cash flow compared to renting by the whole house. By the age of 28, I became a millionaire and was earning multiple 6 figures in rental income on my student rentals.   I teach others my “room-hacking system”: figuring out neighborhoods with great cash flow, renovating to increase the max rentable space, finding high quality tenants, and man aging the properties with unique systems.   I built a community of like-minded creative real estate investors who focus on getting one deal at a time. We provide great quality affordable student housing and have a lot of fun doing it.   In my free time I love to travel to many foreign countries to just absorb the culture and life. So far, a couple countries I’ve been to include Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Belize, Paris, London, and Germany.   Connect with Ryan Chaw!
