    • Knowing clear investment criteria increases chances of success in BRRRR strategyStick to buying properties for 75% of ARV, ensure positive cash flow, and avoid headache areas to increase chances of success in BRRRR investing

      Finding great real estate investment deals is the most crucial step in the BRRRR investing strategy. To increase your chances of success, it's essential to know exactly what you're looking for in a deal. David Green, the author of the new BRRRR book, suggests having clear investment criteria. His criteria include buying properties for 75% of their after repair value (ARV), ensuring positive cash flow, and avoiding headache areas. By sticking to these criteria, investors can protect themselves from making bad decisions, save time, and potentially earn higher returns through property appreciation and refinancing.

    • Mastering Real Estate Analysis to Overcome FearTo build wealth in real estate, focus on deal value, cash flow potential, and understand comps, rehab costs, and the napkin method. Practice and learn from experts to make informed decisions and overcome fear.

      To successfully invest in real estate and build wealth, it's crucial to know what you're looking for in a deal and be able to analyze it effectively to mitigate fear and uncertainty. By focusing on the deal's value and cash flow potential, understanding comps, rehab costs, and learning the napkin method, you'll become confident in your ability to make informed decisions. Practicing these skills through repetition and learning from experts will help you master real estate analysis and overcome fear. Remember, fear won't disappear without understanding the deal's concrete numbers, so take the time to learn and grow as an investor.

    • Gain experience and recognize patterns in real estate dealsExperience and pattern recognition are crucial for successful real estate investing. Analyze multiple properties daily, commit to mastering the craft, and work with industry professionals to maximize success.

      To become successful in real estate investing, you need to gain experience and recognize patterns in the numbers behind various deals. By analyzing multiple properties daily and committing to mastering the craft, you'll develop the ability to anticipate which deals will pencil out and which won't. This skill, akin to recognizing a good sale at the grocery store, comes from familiarity and experience. To maximize your success, consider finding and working with skilled professionals, or "rock stars," in the industry. These individuals can help you navigate the market and achieve success at an accelerated pace. Remember, the key to mastering real estate investing lies in gaining experience, recognizing patterns, and leveraging the expertise of others.

    • Find Your Core 4 Team Members: Agent, Lender, Contractor, and Property ManagerBuild a successful real estate investment team by finding a rockstar agent for deals, lender for financing, contractor for repairs, and property manager for tenants or buyers. Each member brings unique skills and expertise to the table, enabling you to navigate the complexities of the real estate market and build long-term wealth.

      Building a successful real estate investment team requires having a Core 4: a rockstar agent, lender, contractor, and property manager. Each member of the Core 4 brings unique skills and expertise to the table. A rockstar agent is essential because they have a vast network of top-notch professionals and know how to close deals efficiently. They are resourceful, knowledgeable, and creative, and their expertise can help you navigate the real estate market and build your wealth. A rockstar lender is crucial because they have access to various loan programs and can help you secure financing even when traditional options fail. They are tenacious, resilient, and hustle to find solutions to complex financing issues. A rockstar contractor is essential for saving you money on repairs and ensuring that the property is in good condition for tenants or buyers. They may not be the best communicators, but their understanding of the construction process and cost-saving techniques make them invaluable to your team. In summary, finding the right Core 4 team members is crucial for building a successful real estate investment business. Each member brings unique skills and expertise, and their collective efforts can help you navigate the complexities of the real estate market and build long-term wealth.

    • Building a winning team in real estate investingFind and work with top contractors and property managers to save money, increase profitability, and connect to potential deals.

      Building a strong team of experts in real estate investing is crucial for success. Rockstar contractors and property managers are essential players in this team, as they understand your business goals, communicate effectively with city officials, provide valuable recommendations, and have access to a network of top-quality professionals. These individuals not only help you save money but also increase your profitability by connecting you to potential deals. By becoming someone worthy of working with top talent, you can build a winning team and achieve greater success in real estate investing. Remember, everyone in this business is looking to make money, so be fair, honest, and focused on your role to attract and retain the best professionals.

    • Adding Value to Attract and Retain Top TalentUnderstand business models and needs, communicate openly, provide referrals, and support top performers to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships and succeed in real estate.

      To attract and retain the best talent, such as agents, lenders, contractors, and property managers, you need to demonstrate value to them first. This means understanding their business model and needs, communicating openly, and providing referrals and other resources that can help them succeed. By acting as a valuable partner, you'll build strong, mutually beneficial relationships that can lead to greater success in your own business. Additionally, remember that not all talent is created equal. Don't waste time trying to prove yourself to mediocre or below average individuals, as they may take advantage of you. Instead, focus on building relationships with top performers, and you'll reap the rewards. Some specific ways to add value include learning about their job and industry, providing referrals, communicating openly, and giving great online reviews. By putting in the effort to understand and support them, you'll create a strong network of valuable connections that can help you succeed in your real estate endeavors.

    • Investing in relationships is key to success in real estateBuild strong relationships with contractors, property managers, and industry pros through referrals, timely payments, effective communication, and appreciation.

      Building strong relationships with contractors, property managers, and other industry professionals is essential for success in real estate investing. By providing referrals, paying on time, communicating effectively, and showing appreciation, you can create a network of rock star professionals who will help you find deals, manage properties, and grow your business. Additionally, being respectful of their time and expertise, and avoiding micromanagement and unrealistic expectations, will ensure a positive working relationship. Remember, your network equals your net worth, so investing in relationships is an investment in your own success.

    • The search for talented individuals is crucial for successful real estate investingInvesting in talented individuals is more valuable than just finding a good deal. They can bring you multiple deals and navigate the market effectively.

      Finding the right talent, or a "rock star," is more valuable than just finding a good deal in real estate investing. The search for talented individuals should be a top priority when looking for great deals during the acquisition stage of your investment cycle. This is because talented individuals can bring you many deals and help you navigate the market effectively. Be sure to check out David Green's book, "Burr," for more insights on real estate investing.

    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!

    977: Seeing Greene: Exiting Bad Deals, Going Over Budget, & the BEST First Rental
    Every investor would love some extra cash flow…but at what cost? Does it make sense to go all in on a large down payment so that more money trickles in each month?

In this Seeing Greene, we help a new investor navigate this exact scenario when buying his first property!   Next, we hear from someone whose earnest money deposit (EMD) is wrapped up in a failed medium-term rental. Should she cut her losses and walk away from the deal or weather the storm until the property can cash flow? Stick around to find out!

    976: How to Start Mobile Home Investing (The Right Way) for Just $15,000

    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! (00:00) Intro (02:32) Seller Financing...Mobile Homes?

    The rental market could finally be returning to stability after a wild past four years. Since 2020, we’ve seen rent prices skyrocket almost overnight, with huge asking price increases for single-family homes, multifamily apartments, and everything in between. But that trend quickly reversed as the fight against inflation began, mortgage rates rose, and would-be homebuyers sat still, not knowing whether to stay renting or search for a home. But, a return to “equilibrium” may be coming soon, and that’s good news for landlords and renters alike. To break it all down, Zumper’s Anthemos Georgiades joins the show to share his team’s latest rent data. Anthemos brings some surprisingly good news for landlords, from new month-over-month rent growth data to consumer preferences shifting to a more renter-focused lifestyle; now may be the moment landlords have been waiting for as renter demand looks promising and rates stay high. We’ll also discuss the inflation lag effect our rental market has caused and how to stay on top of current rent prices.  Has the dream of homeownership died? And if so, how do YOU attract the long-term renters who want to make a home out of your house (while paying YOU rent!)? Stick around for this rental market update every landlord needs to know about. Support today’s show sponsor, Rent App: the free and easy way to collect rent!

    971: BiggerNews: Mid-Year Housing Market Update + Mortgage Rate Forecast w/Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather

    971: BiggerNews: Mid-Year Housing Market Update + Mortgage Rate Forecast w/Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather
    We’re almost halfway through 2024, and the housing market is at a standstill. Mortgage rates are high, inventory is low, buyers have fewer choices, and many homeowners refuse to put their properties up for sale. But could things change in the second half of this year if interest rates fall and inventory improves, even if ever so slightly? We brought Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather on this BiggerNews episode to get her team’s latest 2024 housing market predictions. First, Daryl explains how our stubbornly strong economy put the Federal Reserve in a challenging position and whether or not we could hit the magic two-percent inflation rate goal. Will buyers ever get a break in this tough housing market, and could lower interest rates improve things? Daryl shares what she thinks will happen once the Fed finally cuts rates, how low rates could go, and whether or not this will heat home prices up yet again. Some “unusual demand” may come late this year for housing, but will agents, brokers, and sellers see the traditionally hot summer season they’ve been waiting for?

    Passive Cash Flow Podcast Ep.56 | Zachary Beach Talks Grit and Strategy

    Zachary is an Amazon Best-Selling Author of The New Rules of Real Estate Investing and co-host of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast. He is a Partner, COO, and Coach at Smart Real Estate Coach. In September 2020, they'll be releasing a revised edition of Real Estate On Your Terms, which Zach will be co-authoring.

    At the age of 25, Zach decided to leave the world of bartending and personally training and jump into the family business. It was one of the first big risks that he took in his life, as nothing was guaranteed. Plus, he knew absolutely nothing about real estate. Through hard work, in-house training, and implementation, Zach has now completed over 100 deals and growing. On top of that, he coaches students around the country on how to buy and sell property just like his family still does. Now, as a group, they buy and sell 10-15 properties a month with a predictable and scalable system, controlling between $20-$25 million of real estate at any one time with little to no money in the deal and no banks involved.

    Zach has been in the business for over 4 years and now runs all operations of Smart Real Estate Coach, on top continuing to coach his students and Associates. He has an amazing wife Kayla and two small children, his son Remi and his daughter Bellamy. He is a prime example of how to be successful both in business and at home.

    81. REAL DEAL: From Financing to Furnishing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Investing in Duplexes

    81. REAL DEAL: From Financing to Furnishing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Investing in Duplexes

    Welcome back to the Real Estate Investing School! In today's episode, we dive into the fascinating journey of Tyler Miller and his real-life deal. Tyler had a dream of investing in a duplex, but faced the challenge of not having enough money to make it happen. He contemplated partnering with someone to maximize the investment's profitability. Asking his own father to join forces, Tyler proposed an arrangement where his father would provide the down payment and loan, while Tyler would cover the furnishings and split profits equally. In an effort to sweeten the deal, Tyler mentioned cost segregation and bonus depreciation from year one. 

    As Tyler and his wife explored two real estate strategies - midterm rentals out of state and income strategies in Utah - they reached out to experts like Sarah Weaver to gather valuable insights. Keen on finding the perfect property manager, buyer's agent, designer, and furnishing team, they found a real estate agent named Mindy Templeton in Kansas City, who proved to be an invaluable asset. Within just weeks, Tyler and the team successfully found a "for sale by owner" deal and secured it with an offer. 

    Throughout this episode, Tyler shares his eye-opening experiences and the lessons he learned along the way. From the power of utilizing midterm rentals to the benefits of furnishing with 0% interest cards, Tyler unveils how optimizing cash flow can lead to recovering all the upfront investment within the first year. We also explore the concept of seller credits and the intricate process of negotiating repairs.
