Every landlord has some wild tenant stories. We’re sharing the ones you probably won’t believe in this episode. And we’re not just talking about a bad eviction or an upstairs neighbor blasting loud music. Instead, we’re talking about identity theft, living room toilets (this actually happened), random people sleeping on YOUR couch, and the mystery of the magically appearing staircase.

Being a landlord isn’t always easy, but some stories make real estate investing truly worth it. We’ve seen some of our tenants turn their lives around completely, all by having a safe place to live. Even with all the chaos, broken toilets, non-paying tenants, and occasional hard conversations, being a landlord can be pretty rewarding.

In This Episode We Cover:

Why you MUST have a (secured) separate entrance when house hacking

The reason Henry now double-checks the identity of his tenants before signing a lease with them

Turning bad tenants into good friends by taking shots with them

What to do when your tenants turn your living room into a bathroom (this one was pretty bad)

Why taking a chance on a tenant isn’t always a bad thing and how being a great landlord can turn people’s lives around

And So Much More!

How I Turned $9,000 into My Dream Home By "Level-Up" Investing 40:12

約 2 日前40:12

40:12

Can you afford your “dream house” right now? The one with the pool and the ocean views , space for the kids to run around, and a huge pantry . The secret nobody will tell you: you CAN afford your dream house right now—or at least you can afford the investment that will get you there. Just ask James Dainard , who took a $175,000 hoarder condo and turned it into what would eventually become his $8,500,000 dream house . You can do the same using his level-up strategy . James only started with $9,000 , which turned into multiple millions over the next fifteen years. He would buy a house, fix it, and trade it up for a better one, repeating this strategy five times until he reached the goal: a 9,000-square-foot luxury home in one of the priciest markets in America, Scottsdale, Arizona. He made millions of dollars completely tax-free because of this live-in flip strategy that ANYONE can use to massively multiply their wealth and take them to their dream home. And maybe you don’t want an $8,500,000 mansion—that’s fine! It only took James three house flips to get into “dream home territory,” and you can do the same! In This Episode We Cover: How to use the live-in flip strategy to make tax-free millions and buy your dream home Why buying the worst house in the best neighborhood can make you rich Why your primary residence IS an investment …if you use it the right way The real estate tax cheat code that lets homeowners make $500K in tax-free profits How to renovate a home even if you have zero flipping or construction experience Why it’s crucial to find a spouse who’s DTF (down to flip) And So Much More!

High-ROI “Value-Add” Renovations for Any Budget ($5K - $50K+) 40:33

約 4 日前40:33

40:33

Which rental renovations give you the biggest bang for your buck , turning a few thousand dollars of materials and labor into hundreds of more dollars of rent per month and tens of thousands more in home value ? Today, we’re going through each tier of rental renovations: easy and cheap ( $5,000 or under), moderately challenging and expensive ( $25,000 - $50,000 ), and hard/pro-level ( $50,000+ ). This will give you a roadmap of high-ROI rental renovations you can make right now to increase your property’s value and rent. Why are these rental renovations (AKA value-add) so important right now? Because with so many investors and homebuyers sitting out of the market, you can take your pick of homes with overlooked potential and turn them into high-value investment properties . This not only makes tenants happier due to new renovations and upgrades but also gets you higher rents and wealth-building equity to boot. We’ll start with some easy ones—painting, tiling, adding backsplashes , etc.—and work our way up to the pro-level renovations like adding square footage and turning a single-family home into a multifamily . Based on your experience, you can go either route, but both have enormous potential to turn your initial investment into a killer real estate deal . In This Episode We Cover: How to increase your property’s value (and rents) with high- ROI rental renovations The easiest (and cheapest) upgrades to make that take little time What to look for when buying a home for “value-add” and signs of money-making potential The one appliance you should NEVER include in your rental property The easy bathroom conversion that will massively boost your home’s equity Pro-level rental renovations that could make you six-figures And So Much More!

Snowballing $20K into 10 Rentals by Doing What You (Probably) Won’t w/Gary Striewski 41:30

約 6 日前41:30

41:30

Would you sell your car , live without plumbing and electricity, and shower at the gym daily to build a rental portfolio ? Now, would you do it while having one of the most prestigious jobs on the planet? If you said yes to both, you might as well be Gary Striewski , rental property investor, DIY home renovator, and, yes, host of SportsCenter. Wait… the host of SportsCenter used a bucket as a bathroom while renovating? Yep, but he’s got a good reason for going through the struggle. Working at SportsCenter has always been Gary’s dream job, but when 2020 hit , he knew he needed an alternative income stream . Real estate seemed like the obvious answer, but without much savings and only a car to his name he didn’t have many options to invest. So what did he do? Sold his car , downgraded significantly, and picked up a condo for $20,000 down. Fast forward a few years— Gary has turned that first condo into a full real estate portfolio , including a private ski house that’s soon to be a short-term rental. He’s had evictions , DIY renovations where he lived without plumbing for months , and closings that didn’t go as planned, but with persistence and grit, he’s become an expert investor. Follow Gary’s tenacity, and you can, too! In This Episode We Cover: How Gary turned a $20,000 down payment into ten rental units and a real estate portfolio Gary’s “value-add” renovation that 99% of people would never do themselves A huge tenant mistake Gary made that will cost you if you repeat it Why you should constantly evaluate selling your rentals , even if they’re performing well Whether or not condos are worth it as starter real estate investments Sports stars who (unsurprisingly) love real estate investing And So Much More!

The BRRRR Formula Has Changed (It Still Makes You Rich) | AMA (Ask Meyer Anything) 38:55

約 9 日前38:55

38:55

Think the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) is dead because of high interest rates and rising home prices? Think again. We’re doing BRRRR deals right now that are making us cash flow and serious equity while most investors sit on the sidelines. But how do we FIND these money-making BRRRR deals? We’re sharing the new BRRRR formula in today’s episode, along with more questions and answers from the BiggerPockets Forums . Besides uncovering our BRRRR secrets, we’re helping an investor scale from single-family rentals to multifamily rentals . This is a BIG jump, and there’s a smarter way to scale your way up to big, new-build multifamily buildings. Next, an investor finally sees the light, realizing cash flow ISN’T everything. He’s about to walk into a nice chunk of equity with his new property, but is the cash flow TOO low (should he worry)? What were you thinking about when you were 18? Maybe you were stressing out about college applications or sleeping in until noon. One ambitious young investor wants to get his first rental at just 18 years old , but on this rare occasion, we advise against it. If you’re in his position, too, we’d recommend doing something else first. Finally, are “small towns” too risky to invest in? How small is too small? We’re getting into it in this episode! Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question on the BiggerPockets Forums ! In This Episode We Cover: How to BRRRR in 2025 and how Henry finds his undervalued real estate deals The pitfalls of scaling from single to multifamily rentals and how to do it the right way Is a low cash flow rental worth it for a five-figure equity gain once purchased? How to start investing in real estate at a very young age (18 years old!) Investing in small towns and how to see where the big companies are going first And So Much More!

Making $200K/Year With the Least Amount of Rentals Possible 49:13

Don’t buy in good school districts. Always end your leases in winter . NEVER raise rents on a tenant. These are just some of the “Dionisms” that have made Dion McNeeley , the so-called “lazy investor,” rich with rental properties. He achieved financial freedom, retiring early with a $200,000/year passive income after slowly, steadily, and lazily investing for the past decade. Want to never swing a hammer? You don’t have to! Want tenants to stick around as long as possible? They will! Too scared to have the rent raise talk? Let Dion do it for you! In this episode, we’re breaking down the ten different “Dionisms” (unconventional landlord advice ) that have literally made Dion millions and can do the same for you. Dion went from debt-riddled to multi-millionaire in just over a decade, starting his journey making just $17/hour, with three kids and very little time. If Dion can reach financial freedom with FEWER rentals, why can’t you? In This Episode We Cover: Dion’s small (but mighty) financial freedom -enabling real estate portfolio Dion’s “binder strategy” that has tenants raise rents FOR you Why Dion never has his leases expire in the summer (even though EVERYONE says to do this) Buying in average school districts ?

‘Building’ 7-Figure Wealth with ONE Very Lucrative Rental Property 38:35

約 13 日前38:35

38:35

Though only five years into his rental property investing career, David Rosenbeck is making a seven-figure wealth-building move . If it all pans out, he’ll be one million dollars (or more) richer, with a brand new investment property that’ll spit out $7,000 cash flow monthly ! This is a DREAM real estate deal that any investor wishes they could get their hands on…but here’s the thing: anyone can do this, and you can 'build' your own deal from scratch ! After making $100,000 in his first 18 months of investing, David knew he had a knack for real estate investing. He was a nurse practitioner and in no way wanted to give up his sizable six-figure salary, but he knew he wanted to scale his real estate portfolio in a big way. The problem? Deals are hard to come by, and David’s main strategy— medium-term rentals (renting to traveling nurses)—was getting saturated. So, he searched for something new and landed on a big opportunity: build his OWN short-term rental in one of the hottest destinations in the US but build it specifically to beat the competition. He found the money and the dirt to build on and is off to the races—keeping his small portfolio while taking a big risk for a massive reward: a million-dollar equity upside if he pulls it off. Want to hear how you can create your own seven-figure opportunity ? David is sharing, step-by-step, exactly how he did it! In This Episode We Cover: How David is ‘building’ a seven-figure equity-upside real estate deal Using other people’s money to invest in real estate (and how to do it the RIGHT way) How David scaled from zero to eight rentals in just three years The bright side of short-term rental regulations and the market that David feels very confident in How to find a builder/developer for your first new construction rental propert y (and vet them BEFORE you start!)

Feb 2025 Housing Market Update: Are Our Predictions Already Wrong? 33:37

約 16 日前33:37

33:37

The 2025 housing market has already defied most expectations, but a worrying “shift” could throw everything off track . Home prices keep rising in every major metro—even with interest rates stuck in the sevens. It seems that nothing can stop the wave of demand hitting home sellers even as affordability reaches lows we haven’t seen in decades. But what could be the housing market’s kryptonite —the one thing that could lead to lower prices and distress in the market? Today, we’re giving you a Q1 housing market update with the latest data coming in from January 2025, sharing must-know metrics about home sales, prices, mortgage rates, buyer demand, and even mortgage delinquencies. Is Dave already off on his 2025 housing market predictions? He could be, as housing has seen unexpected strength despite last year’s big election , inflation rising once again, and interest rates more than double what they were just a few years ago. Will we see mortgage rates (and prices) drop at any point this year? What’s the one thing that could flip this housing market ? We’re getting into the mystery metric you MUST watch to know what’s coming next. In This Episode We Cover: A Q1 2025 housing market update: prices, rates, demand, inventory , and more! One troubling metric that could spell pain for the housing market in 2025 The markets where inventory is exploding, but does that mean prices will fall? Is there a chance that mortgage rates will drop this year, or has the Fed paused for good?

Is NOW the Time to Get Back Into Airbnb? 35:35

約 18 日前35:35

35:35

Is now finally the time to get back into Airbnb investing? We all knew about the Airbnb bubble that formed shortly after lockdowns. With low interest rates and local vacationing exploding, everyone wanted to cash in on the short-term rental craze. The result? Inexperienced hosts flooded the market with half-baked Airbnb listings , leading to an oversaturation in vacation rentals and stricter short-term rental laws. But things are beginning to change. Avery Carl , arguably the most knowledgeable short-term rental investor in the country and author of Smarter Short-Term Rentals , has NEVER sold a vacation rental due to poor performance. In fact, she’s stayed booked and busy while new short-term rental investors struggle to fill their units. How does she do it? And why does she think now is the time to double down on traditional vacation rental markets? Avery gives her expert advice on where (and what) to buy , how to boost your Airbnb bookings even in crowded markets, and why you don’t need every amenity under the sun to attract guests. Plus, why are Airbnb bans a good thing? Avery shares why some investors will thrive while others fight to survive in the new short-term rental space. Take advantage of the new Airbnb upside with Avery’s book Smarter Short-Term Rentals . In This Episode We Cover: Short-term rental market update and why Avery believes “stabilization” is here Why newbies are too scared to get into Airbnb investing (and how you can take advantage ) Picking an Airbnb market and why you can’t follow the “top markets” lists What to do if your short-term rental is underperforming and you can’t get guests Are Airbnb bans a good thing?

Regular Investor Makes $1.5M by Recognizing This Rare “Upside” on Her Rental 35:15

約 20 日前35:15

35:15

Imagine making $1,500,000 on one regular real estate deal. We’re not talking about a huge apartment complex or commercial real estate investment. $1,500,000 on a single-family home purchase. How is that even possible? Dina Onur is more than a million dollars richer after spotting one rare real estate investing “upside” at the closing table. And the best part? She’s just a regular, everyday investor. Dina runs her own home healthcare business and is a mom of three , but she decided, “I’m not busy enough; let’s start buying (and renovating ) rentals!” So, that’s exactly what she did. Her clients routinely had houses to sell, so instead of passing them along to real estate agents she knew, Dina made the jump, buying a triplex to test her hand at rental property investing . She did a BIG renovation but created some serious sweat equity as a result. The next rental? Double the size—a six-unit investment property. But, none of these compare to the one deal that is making her over a million dollars . This was such a rare find that Dina was offered hundreds of thousands of dollars over the asking price to sell it to other investors. She refused, and if you can find a property like hers , you too could make a seven-figure profit on your next real estate deal.

The Repeatable “Stack” Method to Buy Rentals Faster (and with Less Money) 38:40

約 27 日前38:40

38:40

One of the most repeatable, scalable ways to build a real estate portfolio is using “The Stack” method . This investing strategy allows you to slowly scale your real estate using low-money-down loans, turning one down payment into multiple properties. It’s one of the smartest, safest ways to build wealth , but it’s almost been forgotten. Today, we’re talking to an investor reviving “The Stack,” using it to build an eight-rental real estate portfolio starting with just $15,000 . Like most investors, Connor Anderson had barely enough money to close on his first house, a condo. He scrounged together just $15,000 to buy his first property and immediately began to rent out the other rooms. But this was just the beginning for Connor. Over the next few years, Connor slowly turned the rent savings from that one condo into a single-family house, a duplex, and now a fourplex , which he is still house hacking in. The best part? Those properties he used to live in are now cash-flowing rentals WITH equity , which he has used to buy more properties. This is “The Stack” method done the right way, and if you want to safely, slowly, and steadily grow your rental portfolio without a ton of money, this is how to do it. In This Episode We Cover: “The Stack” method and how to use it to build a rental portfolio with little money Why you DON’T need to rush building a real estate portfolio to be successful One investing area that both Connor and Dave are very bullish on How Connor scored a zero-dollar-down, off-market duplex Interest rate buydowns and other strategies to create cash flow in 2025 And So Much More!

One of the best ways to “ live for free ” is a strategy almost every successful real estate investor uses at some point in their journey: house hacking . You’ve probably heard of it before—house hacking allows you to significantly reduce (or eliminate) your mortgage/rent payment , so your housing cost hits rock bottom or even zero. This helps you save more money every month, invest faster, and reach financial freedom after a short (but worthwhile) period of sacrifice. Which US markets are best for house hacking , getting a great job, and paying next to nothing for housing? We’re presenting four of the best house hacking markets in the country , some of which you’ll probably be tempted to move to. These markets all have lower home prices but respectable wages, things to do , and great rents for you to collect. Who better to judge these markets than the man who wrote The House Hacking Strategy , Craig Curelop ? Data scientist Austin Wolff is pitching these four real estate markets to Craig and Dave as the house hacking duo votes on whether they’d move to that market to house hack or stay put where they are. In This Episode We Cover: How to reduce (or eliminate) your monthly mortgage /rent payment with house hacking The different levels of house hacking ( comfort vs. profitability ) What makes a market worthwhile to house hack in (it ISN’T just about the money) A mountain biking capital with booming job growth and low home prices A “smart-grid” affordable city close to two major markets Great jobs, an excellent airport, solid schools, and strong growth from this underrated southern market Buying a house for under $300K in this city with a sports atmosphere And So Much More!
