    831: Seeing Greene: Depreciation 101 and When to Sell a Reliable Rental

    enOctober 15, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Expanding a Real Estate Portfolio: Strategic Planning and EvaluationThoughtful planning and research are essential for successful real estate investing. Evaluate potential investments based on merit and financial situation, consider value-add through renovations, buy below market value, calculate ROI including depreciation, and save up down payment instead of taking on debt.

      Real estate investing involves careful consideration and strategic planning, especially when it comes to expanding your portfolio. The market conditions and opportunities vary from place to place, so it's essential to assess potential investments based on their merits and your financial situation. The speaker emphasizes the importance of evaluating the potential for value-add through renovations, buying below market value, and calculating the return on investment, including depreciation. Additionally, the current market conditions make taking on debt to buy properties a riskier proposition than in the past, so saving up the down payment could be a wiser choice. The speaker also introduces the concept of renting to retirement as a potential no-money-down investment strategy. Overall, the key takeaway is that thoughtful planning and research are crucial for successful real estate investing.

    • Real Estate Investing: Earning Passive IncomeExplore passive real estate investment options like PPR Capital Management and Pine Financial Group for monthly income. Consider international investments with careful analysis.

      Real estate investing offers various ways to earn passive income, even without dealing with tenants or property management. Two investment options discussed are PPR Capital Management and Pine Financial Group. PPR Capital Management allows accredited investors to invest in private real estate funds, providing monthly passive income through investments in both notes and commercial real estate. Pine Financial Group's mortgage fund offers a targeted 8% preferred return, with 70% of net profits going to investors, by participating in lending to house flippers. Both options aim to provide secure, passive income with a strong track record. For those considering international real estate investments, the decision to sell a property and reinvest in a new market involves careful consideration of various factors, including taxes, currency conversion, and opportunity cost. It's essential to analyze all aspects of the situation and potentially seek professional advice to make an informed decision. Overall, real estate investing offers various opportunities to earn passive income, both domestically and internationally. By exploring different investment strategies and understanding the unique benefits of each, investors can build a diversified portfolio and achieve financial freedom.

    • Understanding Different Types of Equity and Cash Flow for Informed Property DecisionsAnalyze natural equity, market appreciation equity, forced equity, and cash flow to make informed decisions when selling a valuable property. Consider transaction costs and long-term growth potential to determine the best investment opportunity.

      When considering the sale of a valuable property, it's essential to evaluate the potential opportunities and losses in various ways. The speaker emphasizes understanding ten different types of equity and cash flow to make informed decisions. These include natural equity, market appreciation equity, forced equity, and cash flow. By analyzing the potential growth and cash flow of alternative investments, one can determine whether to keep or sell the property. Additionally, it's crucial to consider transaction costs and long-term growth potential when making a decision. Overall, this framework helps individuals make clear, apples-to-apples comparisons between different investment opportunities.

    • Comparing similar situations in real estateWhen making real estate decisions, compare potential opportunities for selling, buying, or adding equity and cash flow before choosing a path. Use a long-term perspective and seek guidance from professionals.

      When making decisions related to real estate, it's important to compare similar situations rather than mixing up different elements. For instance, when considering selling a property, examine potential opportunities for buying or adding equity and cash flow to the units before making a decision. Use a long-term perspective to determine the better path. Regarding mid-term rentals, it's recommended to use a property management company for creating contracts, as they have the necessary forms and experience. Additionally, learning from professionals in various areas of real estate can help shorten your learning curve. Another question addressed the refinancing of a property where loans were used as down payment, and the goal was to pay off these loans to improve cash flow. However, since the property didn't have enough equity to cover the loans, alternative methods, such as business loans, should be explored. In summary, making informed decisions in real estate involves careful consideration of potential opportunities and seeking guidance from experienced professionals.

    • Higher risk in taking on real estate debtFocus on income to pay off debts, consider tax savings through 1031 exchanges, and use Indeed for hiring efficiently.

      Taking on additional debt to buy real estate, especially when values are not increasing rapidly, comes with higher risk than in the past. Instead, focusing on creating and saving additional income to pay off debts is a more realistic and effective way to build wealth. The speaker recommends checking out his book, "Pillars of Wealth," for strategies on making, saving, and investing money. He also mentions the importance of considering tax savings through 1031 exchanges when selling properties. Lastly, for those in need of hiring, the speaker suggests using Indeed for efficient and effective candidate matching.

    • Streamline your hiring process with Indeed, banking with Relay, and personal growth with BetterHelpUsing Indeed for hiring saves time and provides high-quality matches, Relay simplifies business banking with online sign-up and collaboration features, and BetterHelp offers online therapy for personal growth and stress relief

      Using Indeed for hiring can save time and provide high-quality matches. With over 140 million qualifications and preferences processed daily, Indeed's matching engine continually learns from your preferences. Additionally, opening a business bank account with Relay allows for 100% online sign-up and collaboration features, saving time and effort. Lastly, considering therapy with BetterHelp can help individuals discover their priorities and accomplish more with less stress. Regardless of the topic, whether it's hiring, banking, or personal growth, it's essential to understand the fundamentals. So, when it comes to hiring, using, Indeed can save time and provide high-quality matches. With a matching engine that learns from your preferences, you'll get better results the more you use it.

In conclusion, using Indeed for hiring, Relay for banking, and BetterHelp for personal growth can save you time, provide better results, and help you focus on what truly matters.

    • Refinancing a mortgage requires paying off HELOC firstWhen refinancing a mortgage, cash out cannot be used for HELOC unless it's paid off first. Property value must cover new loan amount and HELOC for approval. Insurance premiums are also rising significantly, impacting real estate investments.

      When refinancing a mortgage on a property, you cannot keep a home equity line of credit (HELOC) and receive cash out without paying off the HELOC first. If the property value is not enough to cover the new loan amount and the HELOC, the bank will not approve the refinance. This means that the cash out from the refinance must be used to pay off the HELOC. On a related note, insurance premiums for properties have been increasing significantly in many states, making it a major concern for real estate investors. It's important to understand these financial complexities and plan accordingly when making real estate investment decisions. Regarding the analogy from Martin Beja, even though milk may expire, it can transform into other products like yogurt or cheese, which can be more valuable and desirable than the original milk. Similarly, starting late in real estate investing may seem like a disadvantage, but with the right approach and mindset, one can still achieve success and even surpass the potential of starting earlier.

    • Exploring new strategies for building wealth as we ageStay educated, be open to new ideas, explore specialized insurance for vacation rentals, and remain resourceful and persistent in pursuing financial goals.

      The strategies for building wealth can change as we age, and it's important to adapt and find new approaches. Ty Jamieson emphasized the importance of education and being open to new ideas. Meanwhile, Shannon Lynch highlighted the challenge of finding insurance coverage for renting out her primary residence on vacation rental platforms. The experts suggested exploring specialized insurance policies or setting money aside for potential incidents. Overall, the discussion underscored the importance of being resourceful and persistent in pursuing financial goals, even when faced with obstacles.

    • Understanding Depreciation in Real Estate InvestingDepreciation offers tax savings, but consider down payment size, tax bracket, future cash flow, and potential returns before investing in a negative cash flow property.

      Depreciation can offer significant tax savings when analyzing a real estate investment, but it's important to consider the specifics of your situation, such as the size of your down payment and your tax bracket. The math behind depreciation involves calculating the annual depreciation allowance based on the value of the improvements on the land, not the total property value. However, not all of the property value is subject to depreciation tax savings. The tax savings can be substantial, but it's crucial to consider the potential future cash flow and whether the property will eventually generate positive returns. The decision to invest in a property with negative cash flow for tax purposes should be based on a careful analysis of the potential tax savings and the length of time it would take for the savings to offset the losses. It's also important to note that the tax benefits can vary depending on your income level and whether the income from the property is your primary source of income. Ultimately, while depreciation can be a valuable tool in real estate investing, it's important to approach it with a clear understanding of the potential benefits and risks.

    • Real estate investing offers unique tax advantagesFind an investor-friendly agent, consider tax advantages, and consult with qualified advisors before investing in real estate

      Real estate investing offers unique tax advantages, particularly through depreciation, making it a potentially more financially beneficial way to earn income compared to other methods. This was discussed during the podcast episode, and listeners were encouraged to submit their questions for future shows at biggerpogs.com/david. The importance of finding an investor-friendly agent to help navigate the real estate market and make informed decisions was also emphasized. Remember, investing in real estate involves risk, so it's crucial to consult with qualified advisors before making any investment decisions.

    980: Does Buying a Business Beat Real Estate Investing in 2024?

    980: Does Buying a Business Beat Real Estate Investing in 2024?
    Today’s guest makes up to $100,000 per year, PER investment, by buying businesses. Yep, you heard that right. We’re not talking about a few hundred bucks a month in cash flow like most rental properties get you. Instead, you can make a living by buying a business “no one wants,” which is exactly what Matt DeBoth is doing. Matt saw the writing on the wall after building up a sizable real estate portfolio. Low interest rates flooded buyers into the housing market, putting those with properties to sell in a great position. So, Matt sold many of his rental properties and wondered where he should put the money into. Over the next year, he spent his days researching businesses to buy, talking to business brokers, and eventually landed on a local pizza franchise. Matt was able to turn it around, and after months of hard work, he’s collecting serious cash flow from a business that only takes a few hours a week to manage! If you want to buy yourself a six-figure income stream and feel like now is the perfect time to take a pause from real estate investing, Matt’s story may be just what you need to get started. He shares how much it costs to buy a small business, how to manage it, what to look for in business investment opportunities, and what you can do TODAY to get started! In This Episode We Cover How to create a six-figure income stream by buying small business franchises  Buying the businesses “no one wants” and how to easily spot an investing opportunity Why a poorly run business can mean tremendous potential for you to make more money The low-money-down small business loans that Matt is using to buy businesses  How to manage your business the right way so you only need to work a few hours a week  Who should (and shouldn’t) buy businesses, and how to pick one  And So Much More!

    979: BiggerNews: What Happens to The Housing Market if Mortgage Rates Stay High?

    979: BiggerNews: What Happens to The Housing Market if Mortgage Rates Stay High?
    Mortgage rates were supposed to be going down by now, but what happened? Even in late 2023, many housing market experts predicted that we’d be seeing high to mid six percent mortgage rates at this point and hovering around the high five percent rate mark by the end of the year, but the Fed isn’t showing any sign of lowering rates soon. Some experts even believe rates could go UP again this year as the job market stays hot and the economy sees unprecedented strength. This begs the question: What IF mortgage rates remain high? It’s a reality many of us don’t want to see, but 2024 could end with minor, if any, rate cuts, keeping monthly mortgage payments high and affordability low. So, what should an investor do in this situation? Sit on the sidelines? Invest in a different asset class? Pray to Jerome Powell? While that last option may be worthwhile, top real estate investors are saying that NOW is the time to buy BEFORE rates fall. What do we mean? We’ve got the entire expert investor panel from On the Market here to give their take on what investors should do IF rates don’t fall. From house flipping to long-term buy and hold rentals, our nationwide panel of investors shares exactly what they’re doing to make money even with high interest rates. Plus, we’ll give our predictions on when rates could fall, what will happen to housing inventory, what young people should do NOW to get their first house, and why investors need to “reset” if they want to thrive in this high rate housing market.  Support today’s show sponsor, Rent App: the free and easy way to collect rent! In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate predictions and when interest rates could finally start falling  What should investors do IF mortgage rates stay high throughout 2024 The “lock-in effect” and whether or not high rates are leading to lower inventory  The homes that are flying off the market in many areas (and the ones that are sitting) How young people can creatively get into their first home or investment property Why investors MUST “reset” their expectations if they’re to build wealth in this housing market  And So Much More!

    976: How to Start Mobile Home Investing (The Right Way) for Just $15,000
    Can you start investing in real estate with just $15,000? Yep, and mobile home investing is how you do it. We know what you’re thinking, “I don’t want to own trailers! I want to invest in “real” houses where the “real” money is at!” That’s what today’s guest John Fedro thought too some twenty years ago when he stumbled into mobile home investing, which, at the time, was even too embarrassing for him to share. But, over the past two decades, this at-first “embarrassing” investment has made him wealthy, and if you follow his lead, it can do the same for you. John has successfully made money with mobile homes in various ways: buying and flipping, wholesaling, renting, and seller financing, the main topic of today’s episode. He provides a masterclass on how to make money buying and selling mobile homes, where you essentially take on the role of the bank. However, it’s crucial to be cautious. Mishandling this could lead you into an ethical gray area and potentially harm your buyer. On the other hand, getting it right can create a win-win situation for both the buyer and seller while making you wealthy.  John shares his whole strategy, plus how he’s getting into deals for $15,000 and often making DOUBLE his money and $400 per month (or more) cash flow per door when he seller finances these properties. If you want a way to get into real estate investing without a ton of cash but with the potential to make a serious return on your money, this may be your winning strategy. In This Episode We Cover The three “levels” of mobile home investing and how much each costs to get into The danger of seller financing the wrong way and how it can hurt your buyer Why you MUST background check EVERYONE you seller-finance a mobile home to One thing that new mobile home investors overlook that can ruin your properties The exit strategies you must know about to avoid losing money on your next deal Whether or not we would invest in mobile homes (and our concerns with seller financing)  And So Much More!
